Black Friday

[SWFJOE]

Anyone know if Celebrity will be offering any bargains for Black Friday? Have a cruise scheduled for April and haven’t made final deposit yet. Thanks for the help.

There's always something but who knows how great a sale it will be. Maybe reduced deposit or extra obc?

That’s three weeks away.  Nobody can tell you what they will do tomorrow, much less then

Bottom line is if final payment isn't until AFTER black friday you can simply wait it out.  99.99% chance there will be "black friday sale" yet it's not uncommon for the discount to be good but at the same time, the fares are also inflated.

They almost always have somethng.  Sometimes reduced deposit, sometimes the shell games of raising the fare and then having a 50-75% second passenger, and sometimes additional OBC

 

Recommend do a spreadsheet and record the current prices and promo and then recalculate with the Holiday Fare. 

 

Generally the best promotion are during the Wave Period in the spring. 

 

A possible strategy is to book now using a refundable fare (if cruise is outside of final payment period when you sail) and then have them reprice it with a Non-Refundable fare if the sale price is worth it or just reprice as a non-refundable after the sale.

If I book a 2024 Fjords cruise as mentioned above, would I be able to rebook it when I am onboard in April 2023?  I don't want to wait till April, as I am afraid it may sell out where I like. I want the extra OBC.
