Concierge Class
 
Hi there,

Am considering booking Concierge Class Cabin on Galaxy, Eastern Med Cruise 30th Oct.
I am unclear as to the extras you get by opting for Concierge Class. Can anyone help?? Any other comments would be grateful as we are first time cruisers?? We are a couple in our mid 30's.

Thanks

Cailin

We're going on Celebrity next month and taking the Concierge Class Cabin. Here's a link to the Galaxy cabin & amenities. If it fits into your budget, I would go for it.

Let me know how it was - we have booked Century concierge cabin in Feb for Western Caribbean since it was only balcony category left. Priority on/off and luggage sounds nice, but I think they can keep the fruit basket - the last thing I need on a cruise is more food!

Hi! I was on the Mex. Riv. cruise on the Mercury in CC. in Feb. You had a welcoming bottle of champagne, fruit basket, hors d'oeuvres every night around 5 p.m., binoculars to use, fresh flowers in the cabin & bathroom - little extras that made you feel special. Balconies are always nice too! I'd do it again if it wasn't too much more money than a regular balcony

Thanks for your replies. Checked out your link budman and am clearer now. Think we will go for it.

Any tips or tricks would be great!!! Am so afraid that will miss out on something because we don't know about it!!!!
Thanks

We were raised to CC level on the Celebrity Century...there was a plate of appetizers in the room every night, a bottle of wine, flowers in the room and bathroom, first embarking and disembarking (for embarking is well worth it).. choice of pillows, I had booked a spa treatment and couldn't get through to cancel.. stopped at the Conceirge and she did it for me..I think at the time it was only $50.00 more.. Luvwcruise was right there was binoculars and I think an umbrella.. When we book Celebrity again I am aiming for a CC level WITH balcony.. perhaps back on the Century or the Millineum from Barcelona.. but I intend to book early.. like January for November/December

I have been on the Mill. in concierge three times. I would spend the little extra and go for it. You really do get better service, especially on these larger ships

I think it is over priced and wouldn't pay for it. Especially in Europe when you are rarely in your cabin.
