If you’re booked in Concierge Class on Celebrity Cruises, there’s an important update you’ll want to know about before you sail.
For sailings departing after September 21, 2026, Celebrity Cruises is changing some of the benefits and perks included with Concierge Class.
HERE’S WHAT’S CHANGING
If you already have a Concierge Class reservation—or you’re considering booking one—here’s what you need to know about the updated benefits, what’s being changed, and what you can expect on your next Celebrity cruise.
What’s Changing With Celebrity Cruises Concierge Class?
One of the biggest changes to Celebrity Cruises Concierge Class is the removal of the Daily Delights afternoon canapés. This benefit will no longer be included for sailings departing after September 21, 2026.
Instead, Concierge Class guests will receive two new or enhanced benefits:
- Complimentary room service — the standard $9.95 delivery fee will be waived.
- Two complimentary bottles of water — delivered to your stateroom on embarkation day.
What’s Staying the Same?
The good news for Concierge Class guests is that the rest of the experience remains in place.
According to Celebrity Cruises, Concierge Class will continue to include:
- Dedicated concierge service
- Priority embarkation
- Welcome sparkling wine
- Exclusive Concierge Class events
- Early dining reservations
- Enhanced in-room amenities
So while the afternoon canapés are going away, Concierge Class still offers several perks designed to make your cruise experience a little more convenient and comfortable.
If you’re booked in Concierge Class, it’s worth knowing about these changes before you sail so you know exactly what to expect when you step onboard.
🛎️ Why the Room Service Change Matters
Celebrity Cruises currently charges a $9.95 delivery fee per room-service order.
With the updated Concierge Class benefits, that standard delivery fee will be waived for Concierge Class guests.
If you’re someone who enjoys ordering breakfast on your balcony, grabbing a late-night snack, or simply having a meal delivered to your stateroom, this could be a welcome perk.
But there’s another side to the change.
For cruisers who enjoyed receiving the Daily Delights afternoon canapés, replacing that benefit may feel like losing one of the little extras that made Concierge Class special.
And that’s what makes this change interesting: Celebrity Cruises is essentially swapping one Concierge Class benefit for other perks, giving guests complimentary room-service delivery and two bottles of water instead of the afternoon canapés.
Whether that’s a worthwhile trade will likely depend on how you use your Concierge Class benefits—and what matters most to you when you cruise.
