The Celebrity Cruises app is available for both Android and Apple devices for no cost
and you do not need to make an internet purchase to use the app aboard your Celebrity cruise.
The app is a great way to explore onboard activities and deck plans, schedule your day
with the My Calendar feature, complete check in for your cruise and more!
Before you board your cruise, download the Celebrity Cruises app to your device and sign-in
using your Celebrity website account information.
After you login, the app will display any reservations you have for ships that are supported
by the app.
Select a reservation to access the app’s home screen.
You won’t have access to all of the information for your sailing until you’re on board your
ship, but you will have access to check-in for your cruise.
To check-in, click the odd-looking user icon near the top of the Celebrity Cruises app
to access your account.
The account section displays your name, information for the reservation you’re viewing -- including
your stateroom number and deck, muster station, and reservation number -- and the “Start
check-in” button.
The check-in process is fairly straightforward.
After clicking the “Start check-in” button, select the guests you are completing check-in for,
provide residency information and Captain’s Club rewards program information for each guest,
and select a payment method for onboard expenses and agree to the terms of the cruise ticket contract.
Payment methods available for onboard expenses are “Credit Card,” “Cash Account,”
or “No charging privileges,” which is helpful if you’re traveling with younger guests.
After you complete the check-in process, your arrival time will be displayed and a button
to view the embarkation Xpress Pass for all of your guests will be available.
The Xpress Passes include your embarkation date and time, name, Captain’s Club rewards
level, stateroom number and deck, reservation number, muster drill station, ship’s name
abbreviation, embarkation port, and a barcode for embarkation check-in.
If you want to change the arrival time you have been assigned, click the pencil icon
next to the arrival time and select from the available options.
In addition to completing check-in for your cruise, you can also explore many other sections
of the Celebrity Cruises app prior to your cruise, including deck maps,
onboard activities, dining options, entertainment options, onboard shopping,
excursions, spa and fitness offerings, and onboard services.
The deck maps are colorful layouts of each deck with venue names and helpful icons included.
Elevators, restrooms, ATMs, and other helpful services are also displayed.
Onboard activities are listed by venue name and theme.
Clicking an activity provides more detailed information.
Dining options are listed by restaurant name and type.
Clicking a restaurant provides more detailed information, including the ability to manage
reservations and view menus.
Take note that the Main Dining room menus available in the app before embarkation were
accurate for our cruise.
Entertainment options are listed by venue name and type of entertainment.
Clicking an activity provides more detailed information.
Shopping venues are listed by name, with separate sections available for art shopping and shopping
events.
Clicking a shop provides more detailed information.
Although the Shore Excursions section was available before embarkation, there were no
excursions available to view or reserve in the app.
Spa services are listed by venue name and type of service.
Clicking a service provides more detailed information.
Fitness activities are listed by venue name and type of activity.
Clicking an activity provides more detailed information.
Once you’re aboard your cruise ship, connect your device to the ship’s Wi-Fi -- for free
-- so you can explore all of your cruise activities and options in the Celebrity Cruises app.
Once on board, the Activities section of the app displays activities grouped into “Classes,”
“Games and Competitions,” “Kids and Teens,” "Seminars and Tours,”
“Sports and Recreation,” “Food and Beverage,” and “Events.”
Clicking on an activity will provide detailed information, including the start time, duration,
venue name, venue deck and location, an “Add to Calendar” button, and a description.
If you click the “Add to Calendar” button, the app will display the activity as “Scheduled”
and the button will be replaced with a “Remove from Calendar” button.
Take note that repeating activities will show all occurrences and each one can be individually
added to your calendar.
All of the activities you have added will appear in the “My Calendar” section available
from the app’s home screen.
After you’re on board, the entertainment section of the app displays entertainment
options grouped into “Shows and Movies,” “Casino,” “Events,” and “Music and Dance.”
You can add entertainment activities to your calendar the same as other activities.
The dining section of the app has a “Hungry Now?”
tab that provides a list of eateries that are currently open.
A listing of all eateries on the ship is also available with opening or closing times and
location information.
After you’re connected to the ship’s Wi-Fi, the shore excursions section of the app allows
you to explore excursions for your cruise, which are grouped by the ports you are visiting.
When you’re docked in port, the app’s home screen provides a “Heading Ashore”
section which includes tips about what to bring with you and information for contacting
the emergency travel team.
The app’s chat feature is available by clicking the speech bubble in the top-right corner
of the app from any screen.
You need to be connected to your current reservation and the ship’s Wi-Fi to add other guests.
Finally, you can use the Celebrity Cruises app to access your onboard charges activity
and Folio from the account section during your cruise.
In addition to viewing your recent charges, you can also click the “View Folio Details”
link to get more information.
Clicking on the “Details” link in the folio will show your total onboard charges,
credits, and balance due.
