Rare Lois R Posted July 12, 2013 #1 Share Posted July 12, 2013 :D Had to post my news:D...I originally booked one of the "new windows" on Summit for my upcoming cruise to Bermuda. I still have this habit of checking the website for prices and stuff..... well, in this case I am glad I did;).....they have quite a few balconies that are the same price as I paid for my window:)....so I was able to move to a balcony for nothing:D....even swap. They are 2Bs. Yes, I know those windows are supposed to be really nice and those cabins are newer but to have the balcony for nothing? I guess now that I am 55.....that Senior Discount paid off:D! SWEET!!!!!! I will be in 8146...looks like the balcony is even a bit larger too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Lois - I'm on Bermuda trip the week behind you - I always watch for those late price adjustments, including military. I may be joining you Century May10 from LA too - I'm considering adding 5-day land tour thru L.Louise to Calgary. Have a nice Aug-4 trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alli Cruiser Posted July 12, 2013 #14 Share Posted July 12, 2013 That is great Lois. We have our eye on a Bermuda cruise as we've never been. So exciting for you and it pays to stay on top of your reservation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C 2 C Posted July 12, 2013 #15 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Good for you. We have a 1,2,3 package and Celebrity would not allow us to pay the difference to upgrade to a Concierge cabin available to seniors without the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arno, thanks.:) I don't have a drink package. You could not pay the difference to move? That doesn't make any sense:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C 2 C Posted July 12, 2013 #20 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I don't have a drink package. You could not paythe difference to move? That doesn't make any sense:eek: The European package includes gratuities and the drinks package. Being on a ship cruising the Mediterranean while imbibing freely will make us forget the niceties of a better cabin. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leesie6351 Posted July 13, 2013 #25 Share Posted July 13, 2013 or just certain special sailings?? I happened to be on the website of one of the major TA's to check pricing and saw for my Asian Cruise next april that there was a senior discount. My TA got it for me and it was $500 pp!!!! Is the senior discount posted on X's wwebsite? Is it for all sailings or only designated sailings. Lois-- I love your posts and am so glad you got your upgrade!!!
