I'm surprised that this tactic celebrity have engaged in on the UK site hasn't been classed as illegal. I'm sure we have a law over here that states you cannot advertise something as being a "sale price" unless the item has been advertised at the pre sale price for a certain amount of time and I'm pretty certain the pre sale $149 price was never advertised at all!!

Anyone know why this is $0 for this excursion? I reserved it because, well, it was free...

The HOHO bus is probably free for kids (with the intent being in conjunction with at least one purchased adult ticket) hence the "from" is my WAG (Wild A$$ Guess)

Lol. Well, we are both adults and I have a confirmed reservation. No “fine print” just $0.

During the booking, you can select the number of adults and children, I'm GUESSING that's where the "from $0" is coming from.  Select 1 or 10 kids, they're all free

I’m booked and have confirmation for two adults at $0 cost.

We booked on an all day Sonoma winery tour for our HAL Calif Coastal cruise in November, so we do not plan on walking around SF, except for maybe fisherman's wharf for a crab cocktail, if in season.

Is the $10 to prepay the muggers? LOL.  Hope I live long enough to see the Celebrity IT department get their  **** together.

Thank you for this...while I qualify regarding when I booked my cruise, I don't sail until March 2025 so I guess I wait. Maybe they'll have another deal next year at this time.  Right now, $137.99/person/day is a lot steep!

There are a few nice sales on excursions, I saved $156 Canadian on a couple that I had already booked. Not sure what they're think with the bev packages. At least on the Canadian side it's like they just shy of doubled the "regular" price.

Well, I did purchase the wifi "upgrade" and it went through, so I'll take it.  Not saving much,  but not as bad as full price.

 

Still irked that the non alcoholic drink package isn't really discounted.

 

This isn't the same but it's close, you can bring on wine and non-alcoholic drinks when first boarding or when coming back from a port...Stop at a supermarket before boarding the ship

Ah, the notorious $9.99 for the entire sailing wifi upgrade voucher...Most of us remember that well, but probably not as much as X did...lol

 

It was Cyber Monday (Monday after Thanksgiving/Black Friday), we booked one tour then for 40% off and with the current sale now its is only 35% off

Alas my $9.99x2 upgrades will go unused as I upgraded to Retreat for the sailing I intended to use them on. I still haven’t decided whether or not to cancel, or let Celebrity keep my $20 as a “thanks anyway” gesture.

Throwing their IT department under the bus and putting the blame on them for the sudden increase for the drink package during this sale is sad. It would of been fixed by now if it was an IT issue. IT makes mistakes as well as corporate. Casting blame on the IT folks is just a deflection on corporate's part and still no correction online at this point..

I do not think you can bring wine on at any port, I believe it is only 2 bottles when boarding.

That is not what their policy shows.  Maybe they just do not enforce it as much in Europe.  I would not assume they will allow it at all ports.
