hvsteve1 Posted September 9, 2018 Author #26 Share Posted September 9, 2018 The new promotions offer two perks instead of one in the lowers levels. Our second leg of the B to B (Dec. 6 preview and Dec. 9 Inaugural) we're doing is in IO. Our agent tells us that, as we haven't made final payment, he was able to add OBC to the beverage package we already had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evitacruiser Posted September 9, 2018 #27 Share Posted September 9, 2018 We can’t name it here but if you google cruise price alerts (and the name seems a bit fishy), you will likely get the one I use. Thank you, I found it.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DachshundsRule Posted September 10, 2018 #29 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Some inside cabins @$499pp just opened up on the 3-day Dec 6 sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pema Posted September 11, 2018 #30 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Would it be to my advantage to check and see if my cruise 4/7/19 is part of this price drop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted September 11, 2018 #31 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Always good to check...we do it regularly. For now our AQ class price went up..so no adjustnent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nednrom Posted September 11, 2018 #33 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I was interested in this thread until I looked at the prices for the Jan 20th (my sail date) prices. Now there are no AQ cabins available and a Concierge cabin is over 2X as what I paid for the AQ. I selected the same perks as far as perks go. Of course I booked the first week bookings opened so this has been a long time coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailingskyward Posted September 12, 2018 #34 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Booked on Day 1 for the Dec 6th cruise, and somehow got a Single Balcony cabin for $1100 with a $300 onboard credit. And then randomly another $150 "Goodwill Shipboard Credit" was placed on the booking. So now I guess there is $450 to spend onboard during a 3-night cruise to Nassau. At this moment I don't think I'll actually go, and need to make a decision before Final Payment. Am I being absurd for cancelling this cruise?

I'm the wrong person to ask. ;) If it were me, there is no way I would cancel - I would use the OBC to optimize the cruise: premium drink package, specialty restaurants, spa treatments or thermal suite pass, some Edge souvenirs... I guess it just depends on how much you want to try out this ship. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DachshundsRule Posted September 13, 2018 #36 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Now there are $699pp oceanviews avail on the Dec 6 3-day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evitacruiser Posted September 13, 2018 #37 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I wonder why the cancellation policies are so different between the US and the UK? We lose the deposit if we cancel even the day after booking. That is why we book via a US TA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DachshundsRule Posted September 14, 2018 #38 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I don't know about other sailings, but the high prices on the Dec. 6 preview sailing have apparently not been too well received. There is still inventory as final payment approaches, especially in Sky Suites. We were booked in S3 and just upgraded to S1 for a lower price than we were going to pay for the S3. Another small drop for S1s and S2s on this cruise today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulamoon Posted September 20, 2018 #39 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I too am very excited about the Edge, but am on it later this year. Are you checking with TA for price drops? I am not seeing where cruise critic has that feature anymore, but I have been absent awhile. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl94 Posted September 24, 2018 #40 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I've just received a promotional email from Celebrity and clicked into it to look at an 11 night Amalfi Coast cruise on Edge in September 2019. No way would I ever consider paying stg £7642.06 for two pax concierge on a cruise like this! Absolute joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't name a site on here, but you can google cruise price alerts to fish around for a site that will alert you about price changes for a small fee.

I tried to change our IV today to a lower level (6th level obstructed, a better location for us) through my TA and Celebrity wanted to jack the price up $400 pp, plus we would lose our $300 in shipboard credit. Yes we are paid in full, but I can't fathom why they wouldn't jump at the chance to getting back a better cabin. We said no thanks. We're Elite Plus but that did not matter at all.

Just a curiosity question, why is a lower level obstructed view SR better for you than the one you have now, which I assume is unobstructed?

That doesn't make sense, does it? I have never had a problem changing cabins within the same category, and the changes I made were always for a better situation.

My TA is a 20 year veteran Senior TA veteran, manages the location, at a major agency and has a lot of contacts at Celebrity. Had no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
