Sorry, I must have missed the bit where you said you were on 6n cruise. You’ll need to book another longer one! 

Sound advice, thank you 😊 

Our original booking was cancelled due to a reschedule on this ship and it was 8 nights and a better itinerary, so not having much luck at all. Hey ho!

We emailed our TA this morning to request the deal for our Oasis trip in feb. The way ive read it, its available for all ships as long as your a UK/ROI customer. Much cheaper then current cruise planner packages. 

Yes you are quite correct, but only for 7 night plus cruises. Seems a great deal to me.

Thanks for your quick reply.  I see the offer is for sailings of 7 nights or more though. Our is for 6 nights, so don’t think I’ll get the deal. Will give RC a phone to ask though. Thanks.

After waiting for over an hour to get through to the call centre, I was told we couldn’t get the offer as our cruise was only for 6 nights. I was also told as I’m in UK they won’t price match with US customers drinks package offers!! this doesn’t sit right with me.
 

He did advise to book the package at the black sales in November however as these were the best time to purchase. 
 

So at the moment our current buy one get 50% offer works out at £76.54 or $89 each per day which seems high to me. I’d be interested to find out what our US friends are paying for a 6 night cruise drinks package next July on MOS.

The £43pppd offer seems a great deal for 7 nights or more cruises - Get it whilst you can guys!

As above; if you’ve booked via Uk agent it’s £43pppd. You have to call to get this offer; it is not available via the planner.

I’m booked on a 6 night cruise on Mariner of the seas in July 23. The “special offer” in my cruise planner today for the deluxe drinks package is buy one get 50% off the second price. However this means it’s £76.54 each which is around $89 pp. 

Can anyone tell me what US customers are paying? Is there likely to be a better sale price than this? Seems quite a high price per day for a “special offer”.

Other forums seem to indicate $62 to be a sale price, but the offer above is the lowest I’ve seen on my cruise planner so far.

Any advice is greatly appreciated as I have 3 rooms booked for our family trip.

thanks in advance

Many thanks Bob and Linda,

Glad you enjoyed your cruise, and really happy to follow in your footsteps.

best wishes

Thanks very much for your very informative review. It sounds great and we are very excited as we are on exactly the same cruise on Feb 25, and by chance are also staying at the Gallery one Doubletree post cruise. Just wondering the cost of Uber to the Sawgrass mall from the hotel please. We are from the UK and will have no hire car, so would have to rely on taxis to go anywhere. Thank you.

Thanks for your kind replies. I’ve tried a dummy booking, At the moment I’m guessing maybe around 85% of the cabins are booked. I was wondering if Celebrity were blacking out cabins to restrict the numbers onboard? Currently looks like a pretty busy ship.

Thanks for all information you are sharing, it’s really appreciated. We are booked on the Feb 25th cruise and wondered if there is any way to find out how many guests are currently due to sail on this cruise. We are very keen to sail, however we would have concerns if the ship was anywhere near capacity. Any pointers or help would be greatly appreciated.
