Setting Sail in Style | Is Celebrity's Concierge Class Worth It? Trips with Angie

all right so let's get to the very important question of is concierge class worth it so I have here this list of benefits you get for concierge class so let's just go through them together the main and Specialty restaurant seating time preferences now this could be very important to you especially if you're traveling in a group to be able to get either celebrity select or be able to get the time you want to have priority for a specialty dining reservations especially if you're on a full sailing for us it wasn't that big of a deal because we weren't super interested in the specialty dining and we usually go to the buffet at night but to you that might be really important a bottle of sparkling wine now since most people book with the drinks package this isn't as important it is nice to have a little perk most people we spoke to use that bottle of champagne for mimosas in the morning you also have daily delectable Delights they call them uh here's a picture of some that we got I think this is negligible I think you know if you were really hungry you would just order room service now the concierge class does have an expanded room service menu so that is the perk I think that's especially a good perk on a transatlantic sailing like we did because if the weather were to be rough or raining you might spend more time in your cabin so it would be nice to have that expanded room service menu so I think that expanded room service menu is is definitely a perk of booking concierge especially if you're booking on a transatlantic but the daily canopies uh most people I don't think eat them they just set them back outside questions Club in celebrities loyalty program so if you were trying to reach a certain status getting those extra points would be a big perk for you you get special bathrobes so here I am supporting the bathroom I love a bathrobe so this is a perk uh for me and it is a little bit nicer uh heavier than the ones you would get normally you get a custom bath amenities so here's a picture um those those are nice you know to have that I don't know that that's a deal breaker for concierge and handheld hair dryer this was a larger perk before they redid All the cabins before the before the hair dryer was like screwed into the wall um but and so having it handheld was the perk but now that doesn't matter at all you get a celebrity embossed key holder hmm I don't know next part and then you also get a pillow menu now actually this is a big perk for me personally because I cannot use feather pillows so having the choice of hypoallergenic pillows a body pillow a firmer pillow that is a perk that we use so so far the bathrobe the pillow menu and the room service are perks that we got with being concierge that we actually used now there also Is Us in the services you have a dedicated onboard concept this is an actual perk that we use so you don't need to stand in line and guest services it's a big perk if you don't like trying to do things through the app you can just go there they can help you with your spa appointments your dining appointments if you need help with shore excursions if you have questions about a future Cruise booking if you have questions about your guest account it's a One-Stop shop and they do a wonderful job now the concierge also plan special events on board so we had a number of special events for concierge class guests so we got to go out on the helipad during one of the sail aways they had two special cocktail parties they may have other special events available so that is also a nice perk of the concierge class and then you also have access to a priority disembarkation and a priority departure Lounge so if you're worried about what time you're going to be able to leave the ship especially if you tend to put your luggage out the night before and you want an earlier time booking concierge will definitely help you get access to that then you also have a slightly better shower head in the shower so it was a shower head here I can show you a picture of it here um that you you turn so you can have the different massaging if you want to you know to have a stronger spray a less strong spray so that was a perk we used as well and and then the last thing is you have a perk of having a onboard lunch when you get right on board you'll be able to eat lunch in the dining room now the menu was limited here I'll show it to you here and it was fine I mean it was a fine experience I do think it is nice to go to sit down lunch right when you board because you've just spent in lines you've just kind of had to go through this whole thing of showing all your documentation walking from here to there the otherwhere so it is nice just to be able to sit down and be served at lunch so overall what I say booking concierge class is worth it probably not for most people now we tend to book it when it's just a little bit more than a regular Veranda cabin because like I said I do enjoy having the expanded room service I like having the bathrobe I like having the pillow menu and I like having access to the concierge to help with any issues that come up so for me those pieces are worth paying you know a little bit more so in this case it was a hundred and fifty dollars more per person to book into concierge on a 14 night sailing so for us that was a no-brainer we that absolutely made sense and a lot of these little perks did help make our transatlantic more comfortable what about you have you ever booked uh into concierge what did you think
