RockinJ Posted November 15, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I am suspicious about Celebrity excursions that are discounted 20%. Do you think the snorkelling is poor due to the hurricanes? Or is there competition from private excursions? I have never seen Celebrity discount trips before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafig Posted November 15, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 15, 2017 They had a sale a few months ago. Anyone know if you can get the sale price if you've already booked? Or do you have to cancel and then re-book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisin lady ca Posted November 15, 2017 #3 Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) They had a sale a few months We booked excursions during a sale for our cruise on Equinox last spring. Was a definite savings over booking directly with the vendor and the regular price for booking through Celebrity. And booked an excursion during a sale for an upcoming cruise. Was notified of a sale (2nd sale) for the same cruise - but different excursions are on sale. I think the one we booked is sold out since I don't see it listed any longer.

Grandmaanne7 Posted November 15, 2017 #5 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Excursions for my 2019 cruise are not on sale. Are only upcoming cruise excursions discounted? Sent from my HUAWEI KII-L05 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty in Cozumel Posted November 15, 2017 #6 Share Posted November 15, 2017 The shore excursion I was looking at doesn't even show anymore. It was the "On your own" tour of Ho Chi Minh City. I wonder if that means it is sold out? Same for Laem Chabang (Bangkok). Also not seeing any sale prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EatonDoolittle Posted November 15, 2017 #7 Share Posted November 15, 2017 It seems to be arbitrary, and "up to" 20%. For my Summit trip in Dec, some excursions are full price, one that I have booked went down exactly 5%. The website felt the need to remind me that I booked it on xxx date. Did not mention that I paid full price, but I have it in my file. That's not worth it to me to cancel and rebook, but your mileage may vary.

gerelmx Posted November 15, 2017 #8 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Receive the email with 20% discount on shore excursions select sailings. I checked several shorex for Eclipse march/18/18 NO discount on this cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miXterOB Posted November 15, 2017 #9 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Saw this earlier today and checked out the Caymans snorkel/StingRay city excursion in early December was $70 per person while per person at reliable vendors was only $40. My cruise partner has never been there so there's a fair probability we'll do one through an outside source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvcrusn Posted November 15, 2017 #10 Share Posted November 15, 2017 A few months back there was a 72 hour sale of shore excursions. The email said up to 20% off. After trying unsuccessfully to book online I tried calling. After holding 3 different times for upwards of 30 minutes, 3 emails back and forth and them calling me back to book, I found out that the excursions we booked were 5% off. I saved a grand total of $6, certainly not worth the time it took to do. Also I could definitely book those same tours privately for less than I paid, however we've got a ton of OBC, so we booked with Celebrity. It's interesting that when most of us see the 20% and remember it we fail to see the two little words before it which are the important ones. "UP TO"!

Redtravel Posted November 15, 2017 #11 Share Posted November 15, 2017 called Celebrity. The 20% off is only for excursions in the Caribbean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footer6 Posted November 15, 2017 #12 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I'm confused. I booked an Equinox cruise next April, and have gotten several emails about 20% off excursions, but the prices don't look different than before I booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty in Cozumel Posted November 15, 2017 #13 Share Posted November 15, 2017 We booked the Hoi An on your own tour. It was originally $45.75 when I looked at it and we got it for $38 each during the 72 hr sale. Today when I looked, it was $49.xx. But the other two I was interested in were not listed there. Assume that means they are sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoedokey Posted November 16, 2017 #14 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Are the sale prices on the website or is there a promotion code or link needed. I'm not sure I would know if the excursions were on sale or not by looking at the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I would know if the excursions were on sale or not by looking at the website. The prices are on the site. It's hard to tell if it's on sale or not depending on whether you priced an excursion before the sale. You don't need a promo code. If in doubt, call. They were very helpful to me during another of their 72 hour sales on determining which ones were on sale and booking . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudithLynne Posted November 16, 2017 #16 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I read on one of these threads that X often discounts shore excursions on Black Friday, which is coming up. Anyone have any information on that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
