Celebrity "Magic Pricing"

[bkbarrym]

We booked our flights through Celebrity for our upcoming cruise.  The rate was lower than what we saw on the airline site and other sites. The airfare was added to our booking and is due with final cruise payment. So far we have only made a small refundable deposit ($25pp) for the cruise so if we change our plans we can cancel all or part. It's good to have everything in place with minimal risk.

 

Celebrity will give us free seat selection once we pay however if we are concerned about getting seats together or location we can get these directly through the airline for a fee. We have our airline record locator and regularly check the seat map for our flights and so far it's wide open, so we will continue to monitor.

Here's the relevant quote, emphasis added by me:

 

"I spoke to Celebrity this morning and during the course of the conversation, the agent mentioned that they have some new options regarding air bookings.  The one that applies here is that they now have the option of using a refundable air fare instead of just nonrefundable.  A refundable fare does not have to be ticketed immediately but I would assume be subject to change until ticketed.  Once ticketed, the fare is locked in.  A nonrefundable fare needs to be ticketed immediately.  In days past, the nonrefundable fare is usually less expensive."

Just had an email to say kids now sail free on Edge bookings for this summer, together with the 4 free perks, the $25 deposit and further $ savings. Sales must be down if they are pushing to fill the third and fourth berths with free child places.
