AnOnymously Posted January 28, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) https://www.celebritycruises.co.uk/ Wrong way round I can access it using https://www.celebritycruises.com/ but it tells me it is an insecure connection, yes I can believe that with Celebrity's website, but then it goes through. Prices convert to £. Edited January 28, 2017 by AnOnymously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesflygirl Posted January 28, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I found a way... can't remember how now, and found a depressingly lower price. I say depressingly, as I could not figure out how to get it. I contacted an EU travel agency, and they said they could only book for me if I had an EU address. If you know a way around this, let me know, and I'll figure out how to access the celebrity non-US site again for you.

DebbieMacG Posted January 28, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 28, 2017 You can't access the .com site anymore from the UK it defaults to co.uk whatever you try :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKPete71 Posted January 28, 2017 #5 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I want to check the prices and offers, when I access tge .com site it defaults to .Co.uk Clear the .co.uk cookies from your browser and you should then be able to access the .com site.

bogofman Posted January 28, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Clear the .co.uk cookies from your browser and you should then be able to access the .com site. That only gets me to the hone page, When clicking any further it defaults back to the ,co.uk The rotal carribean site dies work using the above after tge ,com so I assume the must be a way with cekebrity as well.

wingnut2005 Posted January 28, 2017 #7 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Scroll down to the very bottom of celebrity home page lower right corner you will find different countries listed scroll down to United States highlight it that's what I have to do being from Canada if I want to see U.S pricing. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesflygirl Posted January 28, 2017 #8 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Ok, but once you see another country's pricing, is there any way to get it? Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesflygirl Posted January 28, 2017 #10 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Easiest way would be to contact a U.S. Travel Agent. wait, if I am in the US, and I want to get U.K. Pricing, I contact a US Travel agent? Really? (Though as said, the U.K. Agent to,d me they couldn't help if I didn't have a U.K. Address. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk By far the easiest way is to log onto the UK website (for example) and then click on any of the links that take you to the US website - e.g. Manage My Booking or Gifts by Celebrity. You may then go to the US site to your heart's content. Edited January 28, 2017 by Project_gal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare villauk Posted January 28, 2017 #13 Share Posted January 28, 2017 You can't access the .com site anymore from the UK it defaults to co.uk whatever you try :( Agree, even when you clear your cookies and history - it's so frustrating :mad: Website is tracking you by your IP address. Sign up for a VPN. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk Yes, I need to try something else like you suggest. I've tried using /ncr (or a proxy server) on my browser and as soon I have any other tabs open, which is great to start with, the X website redirects me back to the .co.uk site. If I only have a Celebrity tab open, and I've just cleared my history and cookies, then I can access the US site, but only that one. There's definitely been a recent change somewhere in the system as previously I could have UK sites open on tabs and it wouldn't affect the X US tab? ProjectGal, It does change when you click on one of the pages you suggest, but then redirects back to the UK site when you search for prices etc. ;). I've tried that one :D.

soraya Posted January 28, 2017 #14 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I search for Celebrity prices on the Expedia site and then contact a US TA. The only way to get the Celebrity US site is using a VPN - I do find it worrying that even on private browsing with cookies/history cleared etc it still moves to the UK. Clearly high quality cookies:) I usually use a US TA (unless booking with P&O which isn't happening anymore) - and I've done this for my next cruise. But with £ being affected by Brexit, I would double check the cost at final payment date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKPete71 Posted January 28, 2017 #15 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I'm in the UK and can access the .com site ok. There are muliple cookies for the UK site so you have to clear them all. I've been able to monitor prices in $ for an upcoming cruise I was after and then booked via a US travel agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vino123 Posted January 28, 2017 #16 Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) I use a download called tunnelbear. It allows you to access US websites from the U.K. by having the ability to switch your browser address the a USA one. Google "tunnelbear " I am able to look at Royal and Celebrities USA websites this way. Just remember to switch off tunnelbear after you have finished browsing as you only get 500mb per month for free but that is plenty for searching cruise prices!

yoj13 Posted January 28, 2017 #17 Share Posted January 28, 2017 More often than not I use Firefox and have no trouble logging on to http://www.celebritycruises.com. Internet Explorer for me is slow and takes me to the co.uk site immediately. From the UK we always used an American TA and have had some amazing deals in the past. However, since our currency is not so good and you never know where it will be by final payment time, it is best to check the UK Agents as well.

I've been able to monitor prices in $ for an upcoming cruise I was after and then booked via a US travel agent. I've been doing it for years with no problem, but suddenly it doesn't allow me to open other tabs whilst I have the US site open, without redirecting me.

I always say, and I've said it many times on CC :D, check both sides of the pond but always remember you have to be happy with your initial price if you book in the UK ;). If you're looking for price drops, refundable deposits or being able to easily change cabins/offers on your reservation, then the US is the place to go.
