gcarney22 Posted September 14, 2018 #27 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I am from the UK, should I buy this now with 20% off (but plus VAT?) or wait till international waters to upgrade? Also I have a classic drinks package included with cruise deal - I take it I can phone them and ask to pay the difference less the 20% offer? Appreciate any advice.

Logged in and looked at sale items but this offer wasn't there, I take it I am not eligible or still worth a phone call? The only dining offer was a discounted package on 3 speciality restaurants - 2 dinners, 1 lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colingu Posted September 14, 2018 #29 Share Posted September 14, 2018 We received an email and so logged in to the cruise planner. Got all the way through the booking process but it kept failing on the last step. Phoned Celebrity and got 20% off the price to upgrade classic to premium. Paid £150pp for a 12 night cruise so it was like not having to pay the gratuity. We worked it out to be same as 20% off upgrading onboard (the largest discount we've experienced or heard off) or cheaper than get 12 days if upgrade for the price of 11. Other friends didn't get the email or have the 20% discount banner in the website, so phoned Celebrity and managed to wrangle the same price.

jody75 Posted September 14, 2018 #30 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Don’t understand how £150/pp is 20% discount for classic to premium upgrade. 12 nights x $14 x 1.18 = $198.24 That is £154 ($1.2820 = 1GBP) To get 20% discount you should have paid £123.71/pp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckL Posted September 14, 2018 #31 Share Posted September 14, 2018 EXCURSIONS ON SALE? I received the email as well, which included a sale on some shore excursions as well. But when I clicked on the link, I didn’t see ANY shore excursions on sale. The last time they ran a similar sale the discounted excursions were prominently marked and i was able to cancel an existing booking and rebook at the sale price. Has anyone else come across this?

ericosmith Posted September 15, 2018 #32 Share Posted September 15, 2018 While I would prefer some of the stuff on the premium, I'm just fine enjoying the brands on Classic and avoiding the extra charges. That said, I do see a few beers on the premium I'd prefer. I don't drink a ton of beer but if I wanted a couple that were not included, anyone know what the typical upcharge/price difference would be? Like if I wanted an IPA on the classic package... In the past, Rebel IPA has been included. Beyond that they have various upcharges depending on the beer. Not likely high enough to upgrade for.

BNBR Posted September 15, 2018 #33 Share Posted September 15, 2018 In the past, Rebel IPA has been included. Beyond that they have various upcharges depending on the beer. Not likely high enough to upgrade for. Covers up to $9. I'm thinking, how freaking expensive is beer on celebrity? Lol. But yeah, a few craft stuff isn't included. Must be only a buck or two extra I'm thinking. But it's funny you can get Bacardi mixed drinks but not a volume iPa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcarney22 Posted September 15, 2018 #34 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Called them as this offer wasn't showing on my account and got it no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poffles Posted September 15, 2018 #35 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Covers up to $9. I'm thinking, how freaking expensive is beer on celebrity? Lol. But yeah, a few craft stuff isn't included. Must be only a buck or two extra I'm thinking. But it's funny you can get Bacardi mixed drinks but not a volume iPa. Ya it's clearly all about how they can best align the drinks to motivate an up-sell. They make sure there is always something just out of reach (ie more $) in every scenario. I upgraded to Premium this time, first time for me and really looking forward to it. Might be the only time I do since the 'pay the difference' change may take the overthinking part away for me when having the classic. I am more a beer drinker and looking forward to wider selection and being able to order some of the drinks that have appealed more to me in the past ... shaken daiquiri here I come!

So I just called and got it done using some remaining OBC. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flparalegal Posted September 15, 2018 #37 Share Posted September 15, 2018 FloaterForLife, my husband felt the same about the Bourbon choices on our cruise this past February. He order a Manhattan with Makers Mark (premium choice) and was only charged $1.18. Much cheaper than upgrading to the Premium package for the week.

sdnich Posted September 15, 2018 #38 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Sorry if I missed it I went back through everything what is it to upgrade from the classic to the premium was it 10 or $11 per day plus tax?Travel agent just said he played it yesterday and it was $92.51 pp extra upgrade from the classic to the premium on a seven day cruise? Call Celebrity it seems like it should have been less than that with 20% off the upgrade? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums I just called to get the 20% off for our 7 day cruise, if we already have the standard package and it is $14 more for the premium (14x7days)=$98 more pp, or 78.40pp with the 20% off, why are they charging $192 for the upgrade ?

sdnich Posted September 15, 2018 #40 Share Posted September 15, 2018 No they are charging us $92.51 per person for the seven days upgrade it didn’t sound right to me I’ll probably have to call today Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdnich Posted September 15, 2018 #41 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I didn’t know that was $14 per day more per person but it still doesn’t add up right Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdnich Posted September 15, 2018 #42 Share Posted September 15, 2018 After re-doing the math it does add up it’s off a little bit but we are using OBC it doesn’t matter!! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, 14 x 1.18 x 7 = 115.64 115.64 x 0.8 (20% discount) = $92.51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
