Something very unexpectedly happened a few minutes ago. I got an email from the Celebrity Blue Chip Club, which is Celebrity's casino rewards program. I have never sailed on Celebrity yet I am showing as an "Elite" member. Now, I have no idea what level that is...probably the lowest...but as I have never set food in a Celebrity casino before, I was quite surprised to see this. The email is an offer to receive 20% off rooms and up to $125 in food/beverage credit at an MGM property. Not particularly interested in the offer but I am interested in how I managed to become enrolled in the Celebrity program. There has been chatter on CC about Royal and Celebrity combining their casino rewards programs and this is the first indication I have seen that maybe that has happened. We have hesitated to cruise on Celebrity b/c our casino status with Royal offers some perks that we don't want to sail without...but if they are reciprocating now (which was NOT the case in the past) then that could open up some options that we had not entertained (pun intended) before. I will ask Michelle to look into this when she returns from her cruise on Edge.
