Opening Schedule

[NanaPam00]

So for the folks who booked the new itineraries today, what time did the bookings open?  Asking to prepare for tomorrow's Europe release....

[CHEZMARYLOU]

I don't know what time they opened but they were there at 8AM.

[cbfb]

6 am for me. 

[Tyler414]

Been looking 2024-2025 at a lot of cruises and most of them do not have All Included...

I'm Military, so always check Military discount... Looks like no AI option with Military discount on most 2024-2025 Just an FYI for anyone else checking that discount.  Thanks Celebrity! 😬

OOPS! Sorry I see you mean with AI

I woke up and saw them on my iPhone at 3 am (CST).  And I dutifully posted it on this thread.  Then I couldn't go back to sleep for a while....

I booked at 8am and some rooms in what I was looking at were already booked. Mostly open still but you could see some already gone

[islabahia]

I did at 6:50 (hold) and finalized just now.  Very few corner AFT SV’s available.

My TA said the new itineraries were not loaded into her system or available to book today.  Are some of you able to book these new Europe offerings now?   I also can't see them on the Celebrity website.

They aren't loaded on the website yet - Look earlier in this thread for a link to the pdf file for the Europe sailings that open tomorrow. Your TA can go to the Celebrity Commitment website and look at the Deployment Guide....

OK yes I saw the PDF, have picked a cruise, contacted my TA but she said they would only be in the system tomorrow....

We were talking about the 2024/25 Caribbean itineraries.  People wanted to know what time to be ready to pounce on the European releases tomorrow.  My data point from this morning (Caribbean release) says you should have your alarm set for 3 am.   Or, as in my case, have your dog wake you up at 3 am to be let outside.....

What is the max time allowed for a courtesy hold?  Just wondering because I will be on the Reflection this Sunday.  I assume that's too long to hold it.

I did a hold this morning and it's only giving me until 5PM EST to make the deposit.  Might be able to get that extended if you call in.

[Josie201]

In the past I have been able to have a hold extended for a week by calling in.

Some great prices! Just booked a NYE 2024/2025 all included Conceirge class sunset veranda for $820. Refundable deposit.

I got a courtesy hold for that one. Looks like someone messed up the pricing. Other Silhouette sailings end of December have similar errors. 

 

Thanks to @cbfb I booked this also for the $820 price.  I called my TA and asked him to hold 4 more cabins so I could get some other couples to sign up.  I kept checking the price because I knew it had to be an error and by 10:00AM CST it was no longer available.  My TA said he wasn't able to book anything at that price and it's now $2,823 with AI and refundable deposit!  I made sure I took screenshots of everything as I made the reservation and I have a confirmation from Celebrity with the All included code so hopefully they won't try to change things on us.

[mahdnc]

Hopefully they will honor the low price.

Have there been reports of them not honoring these types of bookings?

Europe is now open for booking...Just booked the Beyond for May 2024! I booked with a Celebrity Vacation Planner. They're still not popping up on the website, so you may want to call.
