There was already a thread started yesterday on this subject, but now it has disappeared. :rolleyes: Wonder if that means it is not true, or that Celebrity is not ready for it to be announced. :eek:

I received the email from Celebrity this afternoon at 3:25 pm. It does say to keep it a secret - my fault I guess for posting this.

[Iamthesea]

Haha...Are you a TA? It was a TA that posted it yesterday. :)

Can someone already booked in the last week get the new promo applied?

You should be able to. Some people in our group booked before us and we booked when the sale started. Our TA called and they applied it to the other bookings as well.

It is already common knowledge amongst agents obviously. Whether I posted it first or someone else, it was bound to come out before next Friday:rolleyes:;)

we just booked a few weeks ago for a February, 2014 cruise. Paid in full. Can this still be applied to changed?

Says new bookings only, made starting Nov 29th. So I seriously doubt they will allow it.

You're a TA...you know "new bookings only" is a lie most of the time. They know people can just as easily cancel and rebook.

 

With X, you'd pay the prevailing rate on the cabin in order to get the perk added (presuming your price code is compatible with the promotion).

So you're saying you just blatantly disregarded the message that clearly stated it was confidential? That's a bit, well, unprofessional, and gives TAs a bad name.

 

It's no wonder people get a bad impression of us, if you're willing to compromise things even when X has told you it's not for public knowledge.

No need to get your panties in a bunch over it.:rolleyes: Not like government secrets are being leaked here lol.

They have allowed it in previous 123 Go and Pick Your Perk Promos, but you have to take the prevailing rate and lose other bonus you have (except now the current OBC you getting for booking onboard can be combined). So, unless the rules have changed, it may be allowed.

I think it will depend on the sail date in Feb for the PP. If the cruise is paid in full and the PIF date has actually passed, they cannot cancel and rebook since they will be in penalties already. Whether or not X will allow it to be re-fared to obtain the 123 perks is anyone's guess. So I guess it really depends on their actual sail date in order to answer that question correctly.

I understand that this is a promotion scheduled to begin Nov. 29th but do these promotions usually have an end date also?

Agreed, I think some people were successful in getting it added even after the final payment date, but not everyone. I think if you are after final payment you are less likely to be successful (agreed, for the cancel and rebook reasoning).

yes there is an end date tied to every promotion. One the promo is officially annouced (or someone spills the confidential beans), everyone will learn of that date.

 

You've got time to take advantage, is all I'll say. :-) Plenty of time....

And just as an aside, on my 10/5 sailing, they extended the previous PYP promotion until the end of our sailing (even though it ended on land for 10/6) so people sailing around the end date might even find themselves in the position to book onboard even past the end date, get the OBC and the 123 perk (as on board is now combinable with 1 other offer). That is, if they do things like they did for PYP.

The promotion is called WAVE 123Go!

 

Bookings between 29-Nov 31-Dec-2013

So far, it's offered in the UK.

Nothing mentioned about it being offered in the US

It's no longer a secret.....
