jebbs Posted November 22, 2016 #3 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Just wondering, do you ever look at the deals at the top of Cruise Critic page? When you click on that, there are lots of options. I found a travel agency in New Hampshire that is offering Thanksgiving specials. For instance, I checked a few October 2017 cruises on Constellation, and that travel agency offers to include gratuities and classic beverage package for same price as Celebrity page without those perks. Both also include an OBC! Take a look. However, their deposit is high and is NOT fully refundable. However, if you know what you want, you can't beat them!

fshagan Posted November 22, 2016 #4 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I've been signing up for email from all of the large online travel agencies I can find, and several are having sales this coming weekend. I'm trying to compile the listing of them for inclusion on my new site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before booking with this agency, check their cancellation policy. They are also not very willing to make any changes to existing booking - just FYI.

I believe the cost to cancel with this company is $50pp. We use them a lot, but fortunately have never had to cancel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marie I have used this agency in the past. We had price drop for our cruise well outside of final payment and I wanted to get price adjusted and cabin change. After leaving few messages, by the time they call me back few days later - deal was gone so is desired cabin. I felt that they do it on purpose, so they don't have to make changes. They got my booking and not too many people will cancel because of a bad service - just would not book again. At that time they didn't communicate by email- phone calls only. Maybe things got changed, but I would not book with them. Edited November 22, 2016 by ISABELLA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandgeezer Posted November 22, 2016 #12 Share Posted November 22, 2016 100% correct! I've used this agency exclusively for the last six years and they couldn't be more helpful. Price drop, got it. Change cabins, done. Always return calls and e-mails promptly. Best of all, they save me 12-20% on every cruise I've booked through them except transAtlantics. Yes, the charge a cancellation fee but nothing for making changes. Use who you want, if it's elsewhere, that keeps Celebrity's profits up so I can still get the deals, if they don't have to raise prices to do it.

Just like you, I was also expressing an opinion about a few personal experiences with this company. Nothing wrong in doing that, right??!!! ;) And I have booked with them and still have some cruises booked for the future. It's just that they are a pain in the neck to deal with, in my opinion, concerning any changes one wants to make or price drops etc. Edited November 23, 2016 by Arzeena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arzeena Posted November 23, 2016 #17 Share Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) I thought this thread was to discuss upcoming deals. Tristate residents deal works out to be the best for a couple of our currently booked cruises. Not combinable with any perk or promo but worth the price, in my opinion. The big box agency is offering "3 perks for the price of one", ocean view and above, new bookings only, not combinable with on board bookings and the usual non combinable "small print stuff". Work out whatever is best for you. Edited November 23, 2016 by Arzeena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremiah1212 Posted November 23, 2016 #18 Share Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) Celebrity's own Black Friday sale will be $25 deposits, one perk and half off the second guest for bookings on 11/28 to 11/30 and applies to sailings between 3/2/17 to 4/30/18. The current 'Season of Savings' offers run through 12/27. Various TA's will probably differ. I would check on sales through today and again for new ones over the weekend.

They have been a real pain every time during making any kind of change. One person handles the sales, another handles the documentation, yet another handles the changes. They drive me crazy and I would rather book with the cruise line direct, but RJ loves their "perks", sales and offerings. To me the headache is not worth it. Regards to Steve. Hope to see you both again on a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope to see you both again on a cruise. They do have deals that are hard to beat, but, I understand completely what you are saying. We booked three cruises through them this year, and have one booked for next year. On our TA in April, MANY on our Roll Call were getting upsell offers. We never received one. I am not sure the agency passes these offers along, JMO. If anyone who has posted on this thread has received an upsell offer, I would love to know. Perhaps my theory is wrong. I have mixed feelings about the agency. Like you, I would rather book directly with the cruise line, and at times have. Would love to cruise with you again!

mafig Posted November 24, 2016 #22 Share Posted November 24, 2016 It bothers me that I have to either book online or speak to a person. They won't quote me a price by email first, then I'll call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil1948 Posted November 26, 2016 #23 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Seems to me that Black Friday is just a way to promote sales without identifying what savings are being made! Prices advertised quote "half price second guest", "half price gratuities", "port parking", "OBC" so you really need to know what prices were 2-3 months ago. Always dubious about sales...

TommyD3 Posted November 26, 2016 #24 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I received an email yesterday. $25 deposit and 1/2 price on third and forth. For 3 days only. Went to the website thru the link to the deals but they dont show up (normal full price for third person).

chrispee Posted November 26, 2016 #25 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I re-fared our March B2B Caribbean cruise for 3 people yesterday and saved $865 CAD, so the sale worked out for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
