Wow!  bullet points would have told the story better IMHO. I forgot what was being offered after wading through all of that.  In any case, thanks for the info.  I'll look at my deleted X email and see if ad blocker did it's job a little too well.

[Stateroom_Sailor]

Call it $15 and we've got a deal.

[Lady Arwen]

Wow, you copied all of that!

 

[mfs2k]

Another day, another sale.  

 

Let me know when there's a sale to upgrade from Classic to Premium

[mfs2k]

I just looked at pricing for the same Aqua class 7 night Western Caribbean cruise I'm taking in March this year, booked a month ago, vs that cruise next year using this sale.  The price is $400 more per person next year.  If I want to sail on Edge, the price is $1500 more per person. Ridiculous.  I don't know why people book so far in advance.

[Oceangoer2]

Wouldn't your March '19 cruise booked in January be at reduced fare considering it's after final payment date?  I booked in Jan. '19 for March '19  and the price was considerably lower than it was before final payment.  As for booking early, there's no guarantee there will be a sale for the particular cruise you want, or cabin availability.  Living on the edge (no pun intended)..LOL.

When I booked last month I had to pay 100% so yes, it was after final date.  A week later, the prices dropped $200 pp.  I couldn't get a price reduction but I was able to get a comp upgrade from Concierge to Aqua.  I booked one week too early apparently. 

 

Also, Ive never planned a vacation a year in advance.  I barely know what I'm doing this weekend, let alone next March.

So true re booking in the moment.  For years we booked well ahead, but lesson learned, we're now waiting until after final payment and take a chance on cabins.  Trouble is, airfare may not be as reasonable or available as it might be booking earlier.  So it's a balancing act.  If you live closer to the ports it's a no brainer, but we have a distance to go.

I've found the sweet spot is booking in January for our March vacations.  I can find the best deals if I'm not tied to a specific itinerary, cruiseline, ship or land based destination.   Also, you can still get some decent airfares 60 days in advance. 

 

Plus, the insane anticipation only lasts for 60 days instead of 360 days. 

 

It also helps that I'm not tied to a school vacation schedule so we can travel off-peak weeks.

[alishac]

Is there a trick to this? I selected a cruise, and there were two options for deposit - pay a non-refundable full deposit for extra perks, or $20 deposit with 2 perks. I selected the second option, but when I get to the payment page it is asking for a $500 deposit. Am I missing something? It's for the Apex sailing 4/10/20.

[alishac]

Nevermind, I've found the answer to my own question in your post 

Edited February 13, 2019 by alishac

[Oceangoer2]

Somewhere in the script on the site describing this deal, it says go to final payment date and select offer, put in $40.  I didn't try it, so can't confirm.  It may be only certain cruises as well, again don't know for sure. Call Celebrity to find out.  This is a limited time offer.

Booking in Jan. worked for us as well...and the flights were priced reasonably..the flights are up quite a bit right now and cabins are sold out, so timing actually worked.  May not be so lucky next year...we'll see how we feel.  And the 60 day waiting period (LOL) is also a good thing!

[bikerunner]

Limited completely.  Have 2 cruises set for this year, was looking to book next year for Thanksgiving time and there is a decent 12 night on Equinox but only is giving the 20 dollar deposit, no perks unless I feel like paying full deposit with penalty, which is always offered looks like.  Ill wait, they seem to be offering discounts on deposit lately and really am in no rush to book next years agenda.

Looking for this also 🤣🤣🍸🍾🍹

[Want2Cruise 701]

I just happened to price check for fun as I always do .  One sailing we could be interested in had a residency rate and the 20+20 rate.  Both refundable, but the price difference for the 20+20 was $600 more.  I think $600 for two perks for a 7night Caribbean cruise is ridiculous.  Maybe if you don't have Elite status and are Millenial (no disrespect) you might think it's a great deal.  My Millenial adult children would jump at $600 for drinks and another perk.  But, then again, my Millenial adult children aren't interested in cruising.  They would rather fly to a destination anywhere in the world over a cruise.  Maybe when they have children of their own they might start cruising again, but then again I think they would try Royal Caribbean or Norwegian first with young children before Celebrity. 

 

Since I even thought the residency rate was high, I won't be giving X a full deposit.  I won't even book the $20 rate just to lock the cabin in hopes for a reduction before final payment.  Nope.  I'm not going to boost X's bookings.  I'll wait until I feel the price is what I'm comfortable with.

 

I miss the days before Bayley and even before that when I could book a cruise I wanted early out for a reasonable amount and it was done and booked.

What ad blocker are you using?   For the last two weeks I have to clear 1-2 ads first on every website I go to, CruiseCritic is the worst!  Ads even pop up in the middle of reading a thread.

You can probably tell I'm not to techy.  Do have Norton but I am sick of these ads over and over.

Appreciate any help you can give.

I use Firefox as my browser, upper right corner there's a red icon with ABP (ad block plus) in it.  I click on enable ad blocker.  Right now it tells me it's blocking 14 ads on the site.  Best to do it from your home page so it's effective on all sites.  Hope this helps.

Depends on the situation. Whether or not you are looking at a specific itinerary, a specific cabin and whether or not it is a relatively rare itinerary.

 

In December 2014 we booked a Millennium Asian B2B for November 2016 (I think there was only one other B2B with the same itinerary one month later.) Got one of the two A2 cabins with the larger angled balcony for both legs. Over the next 20 months prior to final payment date, prices on both legs increased by about 50% while the perks dropped from three to one or two depending on the sale of the moment. And by final payment date, Aqua cabins were entirely sold out on one of the legs. After final payment, the sold out leg remained sold out and the other leg only dropped to about 40% more than the price of our 2014 booking.

 

Sometimes it's not "ridiculous."

I'm having a bizarre experience with this deal.  Curious, Gerelmx, where did you find the exact details?  I looked high and low on the website and various emails I got and didn't see that.  Thanks for posting.  Now here's the weird part.  If you notice the sailings supposedly included on the 20 20 sale have a little flag on them that says "$20 deposit + 2 free perks".  Well, I found a 2 night cruise (yes I see now on the OP's listing that it's supposed to be for 4 nighters and longer) but nonetheless, the flag was on it.  Tried a mock booking and it didn't give me the perk option, so I sent an email to celebrity.  Right now I'm playing phone tag with someone who got my email and is having the celebrity IT dept looking into it.  Basically my point to them in the email was that it's false advertisement to put the flag that says it's part of the sale on the listing and not honor it.  

[ghstudio]

I actually can't even see the deal and I've tried chrome, foxfire, safari and edge browsers.  I even received a reminder email today from Celebrity... pointing me to the site that doesn't work.

 

Great IT staff; great communications within the company; great management......who could ask for more.

[deliver42]

One of the 2 free perks in the internet, which is of no use for me. Never use on a cruise. Not interchangeable.

When I just checked, I was offered a choice of two of the usual four perks, and it was not limited to internet.  I was also offered three perks if I went with a non-refundable full deposit.  

[Lastdance]

Since they do not accept suites, I asked for and received a $450 deposit instead of $900, so that was not bad at all...you can always ask, and they can always say no, unless they really want my business!
