Surf internet and elite discount

[srdancer]

I have a lot of nref obc from Celebrity, decided to purchase surf internet for one device with my elite discount since the price seemed pretty reasonable.

This is for a cruise on the Constellation for May, 2021.

 

I called the Captain's Club number and was told it's too early for the discounts to be loaded for my cruise. The package (without discount) is available on my cruise planner and has been for a while.

 

Is this usual? Are captains club discounts usually unavailable this far out?

Note - I am not ranting, just curious.

Not sure if unusual.    If you find a good price now then book it and have the discount applied later.    I personally would wait until closer to cruise or just wait until aboard.    Once on-board the CC discount is already applied when you sign up.

The last time I waited until onboard the basic price for the Surf package was higher than if I had booked in advance. I had waited since part of my obc from my TA was nref.

 Your experience is like ours, prices are higher on board.  If we don't have wi-fi as a perk we purchase before we board by calling the CC so they can apply the discount.
