It seems mileage varies depending on the cruise.

In my opinion, Celebrity is not the best when it comes to informing all of their crew (or even the players) about Blue Chip benefits. So basically the only thing I received for being a Sapphire player was my $500 free play. There were no Casino Host events and we weren't allowed inside the Retreat (VIP) lounge. There was no priority check in either, I even asked the crew member that was going through the line and pulling out the suite guests and he said 'We're not doing Blue Chip now'. I also only received the 'surf' Internet package (which I paid for) instead of the 'stream'. This means I paid for my drinks that should have been comped. I sailed just this past August and it was a cruise that was not comped, so the rate I paid was the 'Always Included' price. My Sapphire benefits technically went down again this year. That was the first time they cut our benefits.

If you don't use those on that cruise you lose them. The 'Play Onboard Points' that your host was referring to might have been the amount of points that you could convert into casino credit during your present cruise. However, I know from personal experience with another cruise line (since the resumption of sailing) that its casino loyalty program seems to provide slightly less generous benefits/perks to its members. I suspect that measurement used some formula for converting table games points to overall tier points earned.Īs for your other observation regarding an apparent downgrade in the BCC program, I hear you regarding the quality of casino loyalty programs. I figured that tier points might be the answer, however, the host onboard my July sailing provided me both my tier points (slots and table games played) as well as what was termed, 'Play Onboard Points'.
