Will prices go down after 123?

[S&DMOM]

Any opinions on if prices will go down after the 123 promo expires in the end of FEB?

[hulamoon]

On some cruises and in some some categories, most certainly.

[galavant3]

I will be interested to see. I cannot imagine that my cabin price will go down enough to make up for the free beverage package though. I already feel like I got a great deal...and the price for the cabin has gone up $250 pp.

[Tommy3putts]

I wouldn't count on it. It will depend on cruise, dates and other factors.

Last time round the prices didnt seem to drop on the few cruises I was watching however guarantee cabins became available on some of them for a bit less than the lowest allocated cabin grades. The gaurantees seemed to be suspended during the promo.

The two cruises I had booked before the promo started didn't increase when the promo was introduced, much to the dispute of posters that always think the promo comes with a price increase.

 

I don't expect them to go down in March either, they are both fairly popular so I expect them to either go up or stay the same as final payment gets closer.

My own experience says not necessarily. I booked a Summit cruise for March last January with the first 123 Go offer. I had an amazing price for a C3 cabin. After the offer had expired, the price has gone up and up and up. My cabin category wound up costing $600 per person more than I paid before being sold out. Whether prices go up or down is all based on supply and demand.

Booked our last TA on a group rate $1695pp (without 123) which was (perhpas accidentally) equal to the price before they raised the price at the same time they introduced 123. When they introduced 123, the price rose to $2395pp. After final payment and without 123, Celebrity's price was $1695pp.

 

I'm not saying they raised the price for 1-2-3, but you make your own judgments.

Does anybody knows if Celebrity will do the classic beverage package also on transatlantic? In the 123 deal is transatlantic excludes but I would love to book transatlantic with this package (and don't have to pay for it ;))

It's not likely that they will offer the drink package on TA's, or if they do, it's likely they would raise the price to cover the cost. TA's generally sell out due to their relatively lower cost, among other things.

 

We would all like the ultimate dining package and premium drink package included in all of our cruises at a special discounted senior rate. The chances are you'll see pigs fly before that happens :)

The last two TA we had the classic package it sure was nice :D

[ibcnusoon]

My cabin category has gone up $60 per person since we booked last month with the 1,2,3 Promo.

And was that a regular promo or a personal discount offered by Celebrity? How long in advanced did you book those two TA?

Mark, I can't remember--did you book those thru X or a TA?

[justcrusn]

Reports are that the upcoming TA for eclipse has the beverage package included, IF, you book from the UK site. It is not available from the u.s. site.

Also r.c. is offering it on the adventuremof the seas TA in april if you are interested.

[Chitown12562]

We booked an 11 night cruise and got a pretty rate, including a state of Illinois discount, before 1,2,3. When 1.2.3 kicked in we asked the TA to re run the numbers and they were much higher. The Illinois discount was gone and the value of the choices for 1,2,3 in no way was close to the saving we had received, so we kept what we had.

We just booked a TA and 123 was not offered.

They said the price is low now and that TA's are excluded.

[billyelliot]

I can't believe my Fiords cruise has gone up £460 pp since we booked 4 weeks ago! :eek:

:eek: I think the prices are high now--well, on some ships. Some, like Infinity and Eclipse, are not bad. . .

[hulamoon]

I think there is some sort of drink, air and rooms package for some transatlantic on the website.

 

When 123 first came out prices did go up on what I was watching for a couple of weeks. Then, especially in AQ and sky suites it seems pretty high. Then I began to look at other lines and for awhile it seemed celebrity was much higher than other lines.

 

I was surprised someone recently got a guarantee and kept their perks. I tried but could not pull that off. It seems using the guarantees makes a price coming down in standard prices impossible.

I book a year ago cat 8, now the price is up $940/person???

On which ship and sailing?

[drarill]

We booked a RS the week before the 1,2,3 promo came out. We received a 15% off through a previous offer and it was a really good deal for us. We are planning to buy one premium non alcoholic package for me and one premium alcoholic package for my husband and we are still saving money…. ;)
