Drysil Posted October 14, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Just rebooked for my March 2017 Carribean cruise using Celebrity's new Insider Sale promotion ( http://www.celebritycruises.com/htmlpage/caribbean-cruise-deals ) that runs through Tuesday -- went from Go Better to Go Best AND my cruise fare went down! Sale covers anything through April 2017, so check if you have a current booking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISABELLA Posted October 14, 2016 #3 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Prices have come down from few weeks ago. But I am still paying less for my 3/24/17 sailing 2D balcony. Waiting for an AQ drop.;) BTW - X is giving away November and December sailings...I never have seen prices this low, even after final payment.... I think a lot of people will reconsider booking in advance after seeing such price drop. I will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of people will reconsider booking in advance after seeing such price drop. I will. Agreed Isabela, these recent post final price drps are the largest I have ever seen. The price we just paid for the Silhouette Trans Atlantic was a very pleasant surprise. Strange things have been happening price-wise for both Celebrity and Royal recently. There was a crazy price drop on E1 balconies for the April 17 spring TA on Freedom OTS. Less than half price for one day !:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhcruiser Posted October 14, 2016 #5 Share Posted October 14, 2016 No drops on my Sept sail date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boscodog Posted October 14, 2016 #6 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Saw the price drop this morning for my March 2017 Eastern Caribbean and went from Aqua Better to Best and reduced my price. Could have saved a lot more if I stayed with the Better Plan but love having all 4 perks. I think the prices were much higher earlier this year and bookings may be down. Celebrity sees how much people are will to pay and adjusted prices downward. I am sure there are plenty of people who book their cruise and never check the prices again.

Did you end up going on the Anthem to Bermuda? Mine was a cruise from hell.. I am done with RC. It seems that X changed their pricing strategy. They used to have better pricing at the beginning and they will raise them as popularity increase. Now they start with inflated pricing to cover perks and drop pricing later, if the sailing shows slow booking - that is what have happening now. I think in the future, I will only book after final payment. Edited October 14, 2016 by ISABELLA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoddaj1 Posted October 14, 2016 #9 Share Posted October 14, 2016 We are booked on the Reflection sailing March 11th, 2017. In a 2A Cabin, but paid a 2B price due to Captain's Club. (7235) When looking at the Celebrity Canadian site I can't tell which category would be ours as it doesn't show and deck 7, midship cabins. Any tips as to how I can check? I'd hate to miss out on a price drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted October 14, 2016 #10 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Didn't help us. AQ is sold out on our April sailing & Conciege is $3600 more that we are booked at:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hate to miss out on a price drop. My best advice if you have sailed with X before is to call Captain's Club and have a representative check what the new pricing would be. That is what I always do when I think my price may have dropped, and they are incredibly helpful (as they were today). Can't hurt to ask, and they won't apply any changes until you approve!

Drysil Posted October 14, 2016 Author #12 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Thanks! Saved $400 This is the reply I was hoping to see! Glad I could pass along some savings to another cruiser. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen haywood Posted October 14, 2016 #13 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Thanks for the heads up. I looked at our February Reflection cruise but I have a 1A balcony for $400 less than a GTY is currently going for.... But sometimes it works the other way!

Golfwife1 Posted October 14, 2016 #14 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Thanks for the tip - and love all the members and posts on CC. We are on Reflection 3/4/17 in a C1. I bought into all 4 perks when booked just to make it easy. Our agent just got an additional $300 off our total bill thanks to your post. Money from heaven.

karena1 Posted October 14, 2016 #17 Share Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) No good for us. Our cruise has doubled in price since we booked it. We have the 123 promo that was available when we booked so have the Classic Bev Pkg. Now the cruise is double what we paid for it, so no way will it ever go down below what we paid to take advantage of any other promos. We got a fantastic price with the 123 so we are good.

watchdiva Posted October 14, 2016 #18 Share Posted October 14, 2016 We snagged an incredible price drop on our 2/25 Reflection sailing earlier this year. Price dropped $1100 total on our suite! Unbelievable price for our suite and couldn't be happier! Now if the price will drop on our 12/8/17 suite I will be thrilled!! Pays to monitor pricing....

Kiran Posted October 14, 2016 #19 Share Posted October 14, 2016 We added Go Best promotion since unlimited internet very important to keeping in contact with two teen cruisers. Go Best was $450- per passenger but wifi at $269 pp/ OBC $150 pp/ Grats $135 pp made it worth it for me. The Premium alcoholic package for adults (and premium nonalcoholic beverage packages for 2 teens) is the icing on the cake. We adults won't get much use out of the alcohol part but it is nice to be able to order without making a fiscal decision for each and every drink.

Rare Cruise Junky Posted October 15, 2016 #21 Share Posted October 15, 2016 We picked up a great resident special on the Rome to Abu Dhabi cruise for next year. So it may be more than just the Caribbean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
