SPF 350Z Posted November 7, 2012 #2 Share Posted November 7, 2012 We are sailing on the Millie in 15 days! It would be awesome if we could get a special on the drink packages! Are you supposed to be able to just log into your booking on Nov 12th and get the special there? Smiles- Edie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leviathan2772 Posted November 7, 2012 #3 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I just spoke with "Celebrity Cruise Enhancements", and the specialist said this special can be booked on board when you arrive on the ship. I guess the moral of the story is: Wait till you board, there could be specials abound. On our last cruise aboard Solstice I got the 10% off the premium package, as well as a discounted specialty dining package of 5 dinners that was 20% off.

FYI ..... For what its worth, I just called Celebrity "Cruise Enhancement Specialists" to inquire about what I had just read above and this is TRUE!!!!, although it wont be on their website for a few days. Works perfect for us as we are on the Eclipse Nov 17th and this cruise fits the month and a half window!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-Airbalancer Posted November 7, 2012 #10 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I wonder if you buy it half though a TA , when the sea days start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted November 7, 2012 #11 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Not sure I understand your question. Are you asking if you can buy a package partway through a cruise? Yes. It will then be in force for the rest of the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennbr9 Posted November 7, 2012 #13 Share Posted November 7, 2012 But will you be able to get the discount ? Maybe, but would bet not. Would be surprised if they offered a discount after we leave land for seven days at sea. Ya never know though. I want it for our March Cruise on the Eclipse so will have to wait a couple days for it to show on the Website. Just checked and not there yet.

Dennis Reread this part; we leave on the 26th "Purchase your beverage package November 12, 2012 through November 25, 2012 for all sailing dates beginning on or after November 16, 2012 through all sailing dates beginning on or before December 31, 2012." It looks like there is a short window for booking, and a short window for the cruises that it applies to. If that is correct your March cruise will not qualify.

MellaYella Posted November 7, 2012 #15 Share Posted November 7, 2012 There will be another offer in January for cruises through March. That's what we're waiting for. Leaving 2/22/13 on the Equinox. Cruised similar dates earlier this year on Millenium and the offer came out 2nd week of January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't even cover the service charge of 15% far less a discount on the drinks themselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess there was a discount last June, I missed the email , and just think now, on the the ship we did not get a discount when we pick up a non alcohol package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovestx Posted November 7, 2012 #19 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Would love to take advantage of it for our short December cruise but want to use OBC for it.....can someone confirm that I need to wait until I'm aboard to do that and that I can't get the 10% discount?

Tx. If you read the post it states that the special is only available 11/12 through 11/25. If you want the discount, get it during that time frame and pay ahead. Onboard you can always get money back in the casino that you haven't spent out of your OBC. There is a small fee I believe if you are just getting cash back. I was going to wait to get mine too with my OBC, but I'd rather have the savings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted November 7, 2012 #21 Share Posted November 7, 2012 OBC can only be used on-board. The sale has a short window, (see ORV's post above) so it doesn't appear that you would qualify if you wait until you are on board in December. If you buy the package ahead of the cruise, and pay for it at the time of booking it, you can always cash in the excess OBC at the casino for a 5% fee. You might still come out ahead, moneywise.
