Is Simply Sail gone from Celebrity?

[LVHOKIE]

We went on Celebrity Constellation cruise from Venice (Ravenna) to Barcelona in May 2022.  This was our 6th cruise, 4th on Celebrity.   This was the third time we'd tried to take this trip thanks to Covid cancellations and ship movement cancellation.  The complete confusion on what the pricing programs were/are is ridiculous!  First All Included was the only thing available, then Simply Sail was only available if booked less than 90 days before departure, then somehow a cruise booked 7 months in advance was changed to Simply Sail and we were dumbfouded to find our drinks and wifi were no longer included once we got on board.  Celebrity has one of the most frustrating websites of any of the lines we've sailed on.   Get a good travel agent to help you sort through this and consider other lines before you book!

It's very simple. From September all cabins (except Aqua and Suites) on all cruises (except the Galapagos) are available as Cruise Only or you can upgrade to All Included which is tips, standard WiFi and Classic Drinks. Aqua and Suites are only available as All Included. This is great news as now everyone (except Aqua or Suites) has the choice which is exactly how it should always have been. It also means solo passengers don't have to pay for 2 internet packages and, even worse, 2 drinks packages.

This is particularly good news for all Elite+ and above who, like us, don't drink alcohol and have no need for unlimited WiFi.

Is it possible you repriced this sailing? If you took a price drop, it's very likely the perks were no longer apart of the booking? 

 

Just a thought,
