Coupon Book from TA

[josephsschmoe]

Currently there is a TA (c.c) who is offering a $350 coupon book for booking. These books are distributed on board after boarding.

 

Has anyone ever received this booklet? What does it contain?

 

Laundry?

 

Premium dining?

 

Other?

 

Thanks

Coupons are pretty much worthless IMO.

The coupon book is pretty worthless. Almost all coupons are "buy one, get 50% off second one" not even "buy one get one free". Have received many over the years and never redeemed a single coupon.

TAs offer all sorts of things. Had one that offered a shore excursion, but with so many restrictions it was impossible to book. To find out what the book includes you would need to ask. I think it unlikely that they can be redeemed on board!

Usually, they're offered as part of a Group deal or Cruise Night promo by Celebrity. TAs can't control whether their clients get them or not, unfortunately. I think everyone knows they aren't anything to brag about.

Definitely go with someone who will give you OBC or some other perk that equals cash in your pocket such as paying gratuities or free speciality dinners if it is something you would have paid for anyway. That truly saves you money. It doesn't save you money to buy one massage and get another half off, especially if you wouldn't spend money on a massage in the first place. And what if you don't want to buy an expensive piece of jewelry from the shop just to use that 20% off coupon? Those coupon books do nothing but make the cruises more money and most of those deals you could get without the book if you ask enough and know when to look for the discounts.

 

I recently transferred my booking to a TA and got $375 OBC. More than the value of all of those coupons and it is essentially cash since I would spend that much on board anyway.

Thank you

 

Mr. Schmoe was hoping for a laundry deal.
