fisherman0916 Posted January 16, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 16, 2014 We will be on the Jan. 30th Constellation cruise. We are interested in going on the Explorer of the Seas on Dec. 27th. 1st) Is there any benefits to booking a cruise on a ship? and 2nd) Since Celebrity and RCCL are one, could we book a RCCL cruise on a Celebrity Ship? Thanks in advance for your replies, Dwain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailawaytoday Posted January 16, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Joke, really! You can only book another Celebrity cruise while onboard. The only real benefit to doing so is an onboard credit, and, I believe, a one category upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen haywood Posted January 16, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Reduced deposits as well for booking onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iancal Posted January 16, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 16, 2014 We would like to book on board but.... We often book on Celebrity's Tuesday specials. We have been told twice by the on board cruise specialist that Tuesday specials will not enjoy the benefits of booking on board. We checked again on our last month's Eclipse cruise...and we told the same. So we just don't bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismakris Posted January 16, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Just got off the Summit where we booked our next cruise. We got reduced deposit($100/each), and a $250 OBC. We booked a Sky Suite. I think a Veranda was $150 OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggertastic Posted January 16, 2014 #6 Share Posted January 16, 2014 yes you can book a celebrity cruise on RCCL and can book a RCCL cruise on a celebrity ship They have both sets of brochures available - often as single sheets for each cruise We go to the internet cafe and price it up - it's free to use the internet for celebrity and RCCL sites - no need to swipe your room key Once you have the price, go to the desk and see what they can offer We got an extra $300obc, dinner for 2 in specialty restaurant with a bottle of wine and flights for £199 - saved us a lot of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniPac Posted January 17, 2014 #7 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I have posted scans of the new onboard booking form in this thread: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1903077 Here a good quality scans (direct link to the single posting): http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=39803640&postcount=117 Another benefit is that you can add promotions without canceling the cruise. I booked a cruise in september 2014 as reserved passage while being onboard and later on changed to the cruise date keeping the offered obc. Then the free classic package promotion came up and I was able to add that. Later on, the 1-2-3 was launched again with two offers to choose for europe sailings - and voila, I could add free grats. So initial cruise was in sept. with some OBC and now I have a cruise in august with same OBC, free grats plus free classic package :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, we will be on the Eclipse with you in March. Would really appreciate if you would get in touch directly as I have a few questions about above. carolerwoathotmailcom Thanks so much, Carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darbs7 Posted January 17, 2014 #9 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Do you know if I can book 3 cabins on board with the deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robcruz Posted January 17, 2014 #11 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I'll be on the Century from 2/23 to 3/3. I might want to stay on board for the 3/3 to 3/6 Bahamas cruise. Is it possible to book that on board (stateroom being available of course)? What would the price and amenities (OBC, 123, etc.) be based on?

AlbertaCruisers Posted January 17, 2014 #12 Share Posted January 17, 2014 In Nov on the Summit we booked a 7 day cruise on the Royal Caribbean Vision for Jan 2015. We booked an inside cabin (total price of $1034), we got the reduced deposit of $200 for 2 people and a $100 OBC, so not a bad deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbs14 Posted January 17, 2014 #13 Share Posted January 17, 2014 we have also booked X on RCCL and vice versa on board. Great benefits in my opinion to booking on board...(reduced deposit, OBC, within category upgrades...) We are looking to do the same this on our upcoming Silouette cruise...we plan to book RCCL Jewel of the Seas...NOW--I WISH RCCL would roll out the 123GO package!!!! Big selling point for us!

Biker19 Posted January 18, 2014 #15 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Is the onboard upgrade combinable with CC status upgrade? So the onboard booking upgrades you say from CAT 7 to 6 and then your CC status upgrades you to CAT 5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
