If you booked through a TA will this still work? Have our first celebrity cruise booked and went on celebrity site and deal doesn't seem to be showing up. We didn't get a beverage package so would be interested in adding it if I could get the deal

Never heard of any TA, anywhere, online or brick and mortar that would give 8% back in OBC. On a $4500 cruise that's $360 just from the TA.

 

Sorry, got to be more to the story. Unless you paid a hefty premium over prevailing fares?

We just paid a little over $2300 and got $250 obc from a TA...

What kind of room was that for?

Is there a set amount of obc when booking on the ship? Will be on Reflection in December and have never booked onboard.

Good point - there is sufficient likelihood of slowdowns on that dreary drive to allow two hours above the three and a half possible. That means getting a very early start - which means going to sleep early the night before - which raises the question: why not leave Orlando the afternoon before and spending the night an easy hour away from cruise terminal -- so your first day on board does not start worn out.

Yeah I am starting to think more about it. Just don't want to spend extra money we don't need to if possible. Have a resort booked for the week before cruise through bil timeshare so that was a good deal.

We went through alamo and already confirmed free shuttles to the port from airport!

Told my wife we are leaving by 7am..read that it's a good 3.5 hours so if it takes 4 we have plenty of time. Just didn't know if there is a good route to take that would be quicker or less chance of traffic.

Alright we are heading to Orlando for a few days before our cruise out of Miami. We already have a car rented and will be driving from our Orlando resort and dropping it off at the Miami airport and taking a shuttle to the port. Cruise is December 31st. Any tips on best/fastest route to Miami? I figure I will check out maps and stuff but maybe somebody can help me out as well? TIA

Never been on celebrity before but at the grill with burgers do they also do like chicken burgers? Or grilled chicken breast sandwiches?

Thank you for clarifying this but I certainly know the

difference between "call ports" and "dep ports".

I select "dep ports" if I want to find out which ships

are leaving Port of Miami at my date of sailing and

I select "call ports" if I want to find out which ships

are in a Port of Call at the same day during my cruise.

To navigate the website mentioned above you need

to select "dep ports" for the start of a cruise and

"call ports" for all Ports of Call.

Let's take Port of Miami on a specific date, 01/20/2017.

6 ships are in port listed under "dep ports" but only

1 ship is listed under "call ports" arriving in Miami on

this date.

I wasn't questioning you at all. I just tried to follow your instructions and i didn't get what I was looking for. Clicked the other one and found what I was looking for.

Idk what I'm looking for...haha. been on a few cruises and never have been upgraded so was just asking what I could do. Biggest question which I'm thinking is a no but would I be able to get the drink package added for free or a slight pay increase?

Thanks for the link! Did a search on my phone and it didn't find anything.

I've got a question. I just booked the Celebrity Reflection Dec. 31st last week. Had to do final payment did this through a TA. How do I go about getting an upgrade if there are any available? Do I have to wait and hope I get a call? Call the TA? Call Celebrity directly? I got a solid price on an Concierge stateroom with free gratuities and $250 obc. Was hoping for the beverage package but price jumped way up so wasn't worth it.

Thanks in advance!

You can try http://www.cruisetimetables.com

-- Click on "Dep Ports"

-- select port

-- Click on "Calendar"

-- select date

It is "call ports" not dep ports

I've got a question about the OBC. Say like the one person has $1200 of it what happens if you do use up all of the OBC. Do they refund it or do you just lose it. We don't spend a ton on cruises and I haven't ever looked into the prices that much but now I will so just wondering. Thanks

You could cancel your Carnival excursion and book directly for like half the price...don't know if anyone mentioned that yet!!!!:)
