X Eclipse 2012 - good price?

[frogsgirl]

Just been offered what I think is a good price for 2B unobstructed balcony (not sure of deck yet), free parking & $200 OBC - £1725, should I snap their hands off?

 

Scandanavia & Russia - 14 nights June 2012.

 

Thanks:)

Sounds like a spot of hand snapping may be in order. :D

 

That cruise is on my 2013 "to do" list.

I'm thinking so too....hands will be snapped in the morning!:D

For what it's worth we paid 5900 US all in for our Eclipse cruise this past summer in a 2B (7132). Plus we received a $200 OBC from our TA. Not sure how this translates into GBP but it's a basis for comparison considering your cruise is 2 years later than ours and prices do tend to increase.

Frogsgirl, what does the term "snap their hands off mean?"

[AzoresW]

That´s seems a good price:)

5900 U.S. dollars = 3 641.30099 British pounds

$5,900 must have been for two, but even so, sounds like OP has a good deal.

Yes, for 2. If frogsgirl's 1725 GBP is for 2, unbelievable!! I'd like to find a similar deal for the Med, for sure!

Thanks, sadly it is not for 2, per person. Now booked though direct through celebrity with $750 obc:D

it means to take the offer very quickly before they take it back from you....one of our odd british terms:D

[Conrycol]

Thanks for the answer, never heard the expression before.

I looked at this cruise for July 2012, and an AQ cabin was around $9K, which did not include r/t air from the East Coast. :eek:

How did you get $750 obc booking directly through Celebrity?

We booked through Celebrity online; and knew nothing about obc.

We love Aqua Class; but we thought the price was outrageous so for $2,000 less for the two of us we booked a 1A cabin.

We booked over the phone and was offered $200 then $250 based on a 1B balcony. I then booked a 1A and he offered $700 then $750...couldn't believe my luck! Needless to say I have bought a lottery ticket before my luck runs out:D

Hi,

I thought your original offer was excellent. This is similar to the deal (2B cabin) as we got for this June's Baltic cruise. Current pricing for this cruise for a balcony cabin is around £2600!!!
