is a loyalty scheme offered by Celebrity Cruises. Almost every cruise company has own way of rewarding,thus keeping customers.It is similar to high street shops' way of rewarding frequent "shoppers".I am in the SELECT category having been with Celebrity three times only,even though I have cruised with the Royal Caribbean several times and it is the same "mother"company. Will check how/if it all figures together. I always prefer a stateroom high up,the views are more spectacular. This time I am on the 9th floor Panorama deck. My cabin offers a Hansgrove shower head,32"LCD TV,Egyptian cotton linens,priority check in,preference on shore excursions,dining and eating preference,use of golf umbrella and binoculars,pillow menu,daily hors d'oeuvres and a tote bag as a gift. To me the priority check in and the dining preference are of importance,but every little extra bit goes towards a lovely time on board. Violeta is a dedicated concierge for the concierge passengers. I haven't had the need to use her services yet as I am very capable of sorting out my requirements myself.
