Booking cruise onboard

Recommended Posts

We are sailing end of October this year. What are the current offers and bonuses -if any - for booking your next cruise onboard?

 

Earlier this year there were 2 perks and onboard credit. I like to book on board to the low deposit.

 

Thanks,

Gail

Here is the latest on-board offer - good through the end of October:

Be aware that if you make no special requests, your new on-board booking reservation will be assigned to whoever booked your current reservation for you - either Celebrity if you booked directly through Celebrity or your current TA if they booked it for you.

 

If it was booked directly through Celebrity, then you have two options: (1) do nothing special, have the new reservation automatically assigned to Celebrity or (2) request the new reservation be assigned to a TA of your choice that you have already contacted and obtained the necessary information to give to the on-board agent so that they can identify the new TA and assign the new reservation to them. Note: if you choose option (1), you will still have up to 60 days from the booking date to shop around for a different TA to transfer the new reservation to.

 

If it was booked through your current TA, the you have three options: (1) do nothing special and have the new reservation assigned to the current TA, (2) request the new reservation be assigned to a different TA as in option (2) above or (3) request the new reservation be assigned to Celebrity - with the 60 day period to shop for a different TA to transfer the reservation to.

 

 

If you do not take the automatic assignment and request the new reservation to be assigned differently, then they will give you a special form to sign to enable the different reservation assignment.

 

Have a wonderful cruise!

Another thing when booking onboard is if you book a future cruise the first day or maybe even the second day (?) of your cruise you will receive a bottle of wine for each sailing you book. Do a ghost booking for the cruise you are interested in and see what's being offered on Celebrity's website before you leave. We've always been offered the same perks booking on board as what is being offered on Celebrity's website for sail date and stateroom selection.

Thanks for replies. I want to be sure that 2 perks are included for Veranda. We booked a cruise for my sister on last cruise and got that gift which was a bottle of wine. I do agree that one should have list of cruises interested in and then book with reduced deposit. Can cancel or move the cruise at later date.

I like the new format. It should help clear up the confusion for some people concerning the Better and Best bundles, since it clearly states it also applies to on shore bookings. Thus it is not unique to on board bookings.

There have occasionally been times when the perks were different on-board vs shore-side. Think it was sometime in 2017 that shore-side was only offering 1 perk for a standard balcony while on-board was offering 2 perks plus the bonus OBC
