New Elite cruise listing

[luvs2beachit]

Received a promo for upcoming elite cruises but I can't find any info on the website.  I did follow the web address listed on the promo but it didn't work.  Any suggestions? Or does anyone have a copy of the listing they can post?

Thanks

According to the postcard I received today, booking starts on October 12th if that’s any help to you.

Elite offers are great.  Book one if you can.  Do a search on here and you’ll see all the perks you get.  Here are some that I remember…

 

- Drinks anywhere on board for you and guest. 
- Transportation to/from airport/ship or free parking. 
-  Free shore excursion for 2. 
-  Free bottle of liquor in your room plus mixers. 
-  Treats delivered to room. 
-  Elite gifts delivered to room. We received blue tooth speakers, towels, bags and others.  Usually pretty decent. 
- and more that I can’t remember.

Yep - just saw an image (Informed Delivery) of the flyer that's coming in the mail this afternoon. We'll have to wait until the 12th to see what's being offered up.

 

I've had a few of these come my way, and always end up just booking other promos (where there are many other ships/dates offered). Perhaps one day!

Just received mine in the mail today.  Bookings open up October 10th for me.  You won't see anything on the website under your account until that day.  Too bad I already have 4 booked for 2024 and are now charged $50.00 per pax to make ANY changes.  I have a great PVP that I have used for over 10 years and had to make a change in cabins on a currently booked cruise, when she told me that she hated to do it, but had to charge me an additional $100.00 to change from a regular balcony to a Spa balcony🙄.

 

Cheers!!

Man, you'd think they'd waive such charges when you're UPGRADING.

Interestingly, that promo promises early access to your stateroom.  😮

Early access to drop off carry on bags like platinum and diamond.

Thanks for all your responses.  What I was looking for was info on the actual cruises that would be available.  I remember last year that someone was able to post a listing before the dates were posted on the website so was hoping for that. Oh well, will just have to bide my time and wait! 😃 Again thanks!

Also of note, deposits are lost if you cancel an elite booking. Learned the hard way.

Pretty much all the "good rate" booking codes mean you're throwing some $ into the ring that will be forfeited in cases of cancellation. I've probably thrown away $600 in the last year or so ($200/sailing) on cruises I booked, and then had a change of plans... 😞

Me, too. But $200 is a small price to pay considering the benefits we get if we do cruise.

Yep - to me, it's just another wager 🙂

So we booked an Elite cruise on the Venezia.  It’s a 12 night Journey’s cruise, sailing in December 2024 from NYC to the Southern Caribbean, ending in Port Canaveral.

I’m booked on that cruise, not Elite but I did get a free balcony and DOUE. I will never be Elite but I was on an Elite cruise last April on the Vista and had a blast in the casino. It was not over crowded and there was a super fun and friendly group of gamblers. I am happy hear this will be an Elite cruise too, see you there!

See you on the ship!  So excited to try something new - never cruised from NYC so that will be exciting.

I'll pass on all offerings (again). A couple that I considered didn't have any cabins that we'd want to book. No worries !

That’s why I chose it too, sailing down the Hudson River past the Statue Of Liberty with the Manhattan skyline behind us, bucket list item for sure. The best part is you don’t have to go back to New York, lol! You will debark close to home, even better, we still have to fly across the country. A couple of the ports will be new for us too, really looking forward to it!

You will be contacted by email, about a month before Elite sailing.
