Cruise a holic Posted January 29, 2013 #1126 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Wow great offer, so if I already booked a cruise for April 2014 and put down a deposit do I need to cancel it completely then rebook it ? The drink package for 2 would be a great incentive to do this. Thanks for sharing. My husband and I cancelled our original reservation with our TA and rebooked. Everything was the same. The deposit was just moved over and we were fortunate enough to get the free drink package. We also booked 2 additional cruises and were eligible for the special.

NYcruisefan08 Posted January 29, 2013 #1127 Share Posted January 29, 2013 How do I know if I got a good deal for 1-2-3? I'm look at the Med in August. I compared prices for Celebrity, Princess and NCL - all are around the same fare. Right now, Celebrity is the lowest priced of the three lines for comparable dates / itineraries and I get the drink package and gratuities (plus an OBC from the travel agent). Will summer Europe prices go down later in the year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafig Posted January 29, 2013 #1128 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Do most of you think the prices will go down when this offer is over (Feb. 18)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SvenVR73 Posted January 29, 2013 #1129 Share Posted January 29, 2013 All depends on availability and demand I guess. I think Celebrity sold a lot of cabins over the last few weeks but think demand is still relatively weak for Europe given the wild promotions but if the rooms arent sold then promotions and pricedrops might still happen. This is a fantastic promotion if you were thinking about buying a beverage package anyway. It definitely lured me into booking some extra cruises with celebrity.

Jade13 Posted January 29, 2013 #1130 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Does anyone have any idea if prices go down even $50.00 per person (before final payment) if Celebrity will honor, or will they likely say it is not combinable with this promotion, so you can take the lower price or 123 Go. I am not sure it is clear under the rules, only that special rates such as senior, military, or I believe residents rates, could not be combined.

If the price drops before final payment, will Guests be eligible for the reduction, while retaining their 123 GO selection ? Guests can maintain the offer if they keep any Five star or Group x rates, however, if they convert to another price program such as a senior or resident rate they will lose the offer.

2flacruisers Posted January 30, 2013 #1132 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Does anyone know what would happen if you book during the 123 sale, if, after and you have paid your deposit and chosen your deal, should you have to move your cruise date to another date, do you keep the 123 deal that you have chosen, or do loose it?

chrismakris Posted January 30, 2013 #1135 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Hello all, I have booked a Southern Caribbean cruise on the Celebrity Summit for next January and chose the beverage package for the promo. If I bring wine aboard can I put the corkage fee toward my promo? Can I upgrade to the Premium Beverage Package and pay only $10 extra per night? Thanks for your help.

The_Big_M Posted January 30, 2013 #1136 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I don't think the drinks package would give you any advantage with corkage. You can upgrade, but the cost is $11.50/person/night as it requires a gratuity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Upgrade and you'll have a pretty extensive selection of wine by the glass. With the tip it is $11.50 a day pp. We are looking forward to this next year. It will be the first time we try a beverage plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fla jack Posted January 30, 2013 #1138 Share Posted January 30, 2013 "IF" you upgrade during the promotion (til 02/18) it is only $10 P/P per day. There is no add on of 15%. I added the Premium to my package for 5 days (cost $100). Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lsimon Posted January 30, 2013 #1140 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) The beverage package will not apply to the corkage fee so you'll pay the full $25 fee for any bottles of wine taken to a dining room or restaurant. There is no corkage fee for wine you enjoy in your cabin. From everything I've read, except for fla jack's post above, the classic package can be upgraded to the premium for $10 per day PLUS the standard 15% gratuity. Upgrade and you'll have a pretty extensive selection of wine by the glass. ... Extensive? I think we have a different opinion of extensive. The selection of wines by the glass available on the premium package (up to $12/glass) is much better than that available to the classic package ($8 & under) but it still pales in comparison to the wine by the bottle selection. Here is a copy of the MDR wine list if anyone is interested: http://lfsimon.home.comcast.net/~lfsimon/Wine-List-MDR-Silhouette-Dec-2012-s.pdf But one is happy with the selection then that is all that matters.

Muushka Posted January 30, 2013 #1144 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Can anyone confirm whether or not both people in the cabin have to upgrade to the Premium? I'm the only alcohol drinker in the fam. No reason to pay for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason to pay for both. It says both people have to upgrade, but some went on line and were able to upgrade one person, or at least they did in the very beginning when the promo was first offered. My DH doesn't drink alcohol. We were interested in the premium water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jade13 Posted January 30, 2013 #1146 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Has anyone heard what is happening to the Captains Club Elite perks, and does anyone think this promo for all cruises (except Galapagos where drinks are already included), has anything to do with an upcoming change to Captains Club benefits? Or at least a change as far as the happy hour lounge and/or coupons. On our last cruise even when the Sky Lounge was open for Elite, or Select and Elite, events, it was no longer unlimited but everyone needed to bring their coupons along. They actually gave them out to Select members the night before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLC4-SAVINGS $968 SLC5-WAVE BEV PKG -$968 WAV7-PREM BEV $ 0 I've gone on line with my reservation but the pkg does not show there.

HazyDavy Posted January 30, 2013 #1150 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I haven't read through all 58 pages of the thread so forgive me if this has been covered already. Has anyone with a reservation paid in full prior to the promotion (can't cancel and rebook) having any success with getting the benefits added to their reservation? I'm sailing in 10 days.
