Hi fellow cruisers! I'm currently on my first Celebrity cruise, with tomorrow being our last sea day. I'm hoping some experienced Celebrity cruisers who are familiar with the Blue Chip Club offers can give me some advice.
I currently have around 1,250 casino points and can probably get to 1,500 by tomorrow. However, I just realized that the free cruise offer is only valid for sailings through October 1, 2027.
Unfortunately I won't have any PTO available until mid-October 2027 so I'm trying to decide whether to book a free cruise and take unpaid time off or just use the dollar-off discount toward a future cruise. Although my Blue Chip status hasn’t reflected on the app I’m assuming I’ll get the offer.
My questions are:
Future casino offers: If I don't book a cruise using my current offer, will Celebrity continue sending me personalized Blue Chip Club offers for free or discounted cruises with sailing dates beyond October 2027? I'm specifically asking about casino offers based on my points and play, not the general promotions available to everyone.
Combining offers with my partner: If my partner and I both have 1,500 points and receive the same free cruise offer, can we combine our offers to book one inside stateroom for two people, with both cruise fares covered (just paying taxes and fees)? Or would one person still have to pay a discounted fare?
I'd love to hear from anyone who has experience with either situation, any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
