Project_gal Posted March 1, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I received unsolicited Confirmation Invoices for all three of the cruise I have booked directly with Celebrity [in the UK] this week. The only change on each of these is the addition of code "AI CELPRAL" with a zero value. Does anyone have any idea what these codes mean, please?

Rare MicCanberra Posted March 1, 2015 #2 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Sorry can't help and have no idea what it may mean. I tried by breaking it down as A1- top class, CEL -Celebrity, PR- Public relations, AL -? But this makes no sense to me.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only change on each of these is the addition of code "AI CELPRAL" with a zero value. Does anyone have any idea what these codes mean, please? Did you book it with a promo ? Then my guess would be : AI : All Inclusive CEL : Celebrity PR : Premium AL : Alcohol ? Edited March 1, 2015 by Cote d'or Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downsmead Posted March 1, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I've got a similar one on invoices from December and the end of January - AL CEL CLAL :confused:. The PR and CL may refer to the level of cabin booked under the 123go scheme (or All Inclusive as Celebrity often refer to it). We have an Aqua class cabin and suspect Sue that you may have booked a suite? So possibly CL = Concierge level and PR = Premium level :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project_gal Posted March 1, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Did you book it with a promo ? Then my guess would be :AI : All Inclusive CEL : Celebrity PR : Premium AL : Alcohol ? Nope' date=' only one of the three cruises book under a 123 promotion. The other two were booked almost two years ago and had an early booking OBC promotion. I've got a similar one on invoices from December and the end of January - AL CEL CLAL :confused:. The PR and CL may refer to the level of cabin booked under the 123go scheme (or All Inclusive as Celebrity often refer to it). We have an Aqua class cabin and suspect Sue that you may have booked a suite? So possibly CL = Concierge level and PR = Premium level :) Again not correct for the reasons given above but you DID make me realise what the code probably does stand for. All three cruises are in suites and take place after the start date of the new suite class in April. We have suites on all three that qualify for the so-called "all exclusive" of premium beverage package, unlimited specialty dining and unlimited internet. The invoices already show the Premium Beverage package. Thus, my guess with the benefit of the wonderful minds on Cruise Critic is: AI - All inclusive CEL - Celebrity PR - Premium AL - Access Level [although this is probably the most iffy part of my suggestion] However, if I am correct, there must be a lot of people suddenly receiving this code on their Confirmation Invoices and we may get more minds working on the solution.

Caribbean Chris Posted March 1, 2015 #6 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Here's another one that was kind of a mystery to me recently: EGBPROMO1 "Early guest booking promo?" We booked during the Celebrity 25th anniversary week in January for $25 pp deposit. Or, maybe something to do with the "Thanks for cruising with us" email we used for an extra OBC? All the usual codes for 123Go, Bev, Grat are additionally coded in the booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickT Posted March 1, 2015 #7 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Hate to disagree with some folks here but AI CELPRAL definitely stands for the Premium Alchohol Package. I booked a cruise with the Classic Alcohol package and have the code AI CEL CLAL showing with a $0.00 charge. I upgraded to the Premium package a couple weeks later and the code AI CEL PRAL now shows directly below the Classic code showing the $ amount I paid to upgrade. So, I can't explain how/why you have that code but it does stand for Premium alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I can't explain how/why you have that code but it does stand for Premium alcohol. Then, do we have two premium beverage packages because each cruise also has SYR2-PRBEVINCGRAT [adding the beverage package at £514.00] and a matching SYR3-PRBVPROMO3 [removing the cost at -£514.00] plus [for the cruise booked under the 123-Cruise Now, Cruise Later package] 123A-ALL123GO which gives us a superfluous classic beverage package as well? If we are collecting beverage packages, perhaps I should advertise them on our Roll call and sell them to the highest bidder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No No no, don't sell it as a package, you'd make MUCH more selling by the drink. You go to the bar, and use your premium package to get what you want, get a second drink with your classic package. Sit by the pool, sip your drink and SELL the second classic package drink at a slightly reduced rate. I bet you can do pretty well selling water by the bottle for $1.50, cappuccinos for $3 and sodas for $2 and beers for $3-$4. With your unlimited internet and an iphone or ipad and a free Sqaure credit card account you can simply accept credit cards, and make quite a good take on your extra classic beverage package. If you sell about 15 drinks you'll easily make $30-$40 which seems to be all you'd get for a second hand classic beverage package online anyway. Yes, I am the one who sold candy in elementary school and T-shirts door to door in college. Happy sailing! Jenna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we do it online will we just be charge the difference, can you tell me what that is, or do we need to ring celebrity. We booked via a TA. Thanks for your help.

K.T.B. Posted March 2, 2015 #13 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Here's what I know my promo codes mean on my current booking: 123GOPROMO1 -- Beverage package (through 123GO promo) 123GOPROMO3 -- Free gratutities. My OBC is listed separately, but I saw this notation above it: "123go! All Inclusive Beverage Pkg. + Tips for 2". So I would guess the acronym being used in OP has something to do with the promo. Not sure if that helps anyone or not, but there you go! :) Edited March 2, 2015 by Kevin T Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have OBC that you wish to use toward the cost of the upgrade to the Premium Alcohol package, you will have to do this once you are on the ship (at any bar). If you do this before the cruise, you will have to use a credit card to pay for the upgrade. The cost difference is $11.80 USD (per person per day), which includes the applicable gratuity of 18%.

Our OBC will easily be used up paying for gratuities. If you purchased your cruise in sterling, I suggest that you contact your TA or Celebrity [whoever you booked the cruise through] and ask the price of upgrading your package. Celebrity have been using an incredibly favourable exchange rate for cruise extras in the UK recently. You may get a very good price. If not, Celebrity are still offering US$25 of OBC for £14.90 which, again, is an excellent rate. Telephone [do not try to do it online] Celebrity again and purchase at least sufficient OBC to pay for your upgrade. You may also wish to purchase additional OBC for spending money if, as you say, you will easily use up your promotion OBC.

Hi Sue: I am fairly sure the PRAL means Premium Alcohol, as that has been stamped on my seapass card every time we have upgraded our CLAL (Classic Alcohol Beverage package). The rest of the code ...?... AI (All inclusive) CEL (I'm not so sure about this one...are you booked in a Celebrity Suite?). On my booking last week under the All-Inclusive promo, my booking confirmation has a code for the All-Inclusive Promo package, and then separate codes for the beverage package (in as a charge, and then backed out as a credit), the complimentary gratuities (in as a charge and then backed out as a credit) and an entry for the complimentary OBC in USD dollars.
