WILL PRICES EVER COME DOWN?

[zitsky]

Didn't we establish if you take the discount, you lose the other perks... tips, wifi, drinks?

[VitaminSea53]

Nope..... you don’t lose the perks. I was offered a 5% discount but still had AI,  for the booking I was using as a test. I am just at the Classic level for CC.

I just tried a booking a few minutes ago.  I was logged in and I entered my CC #.  What you see is not what I see.  If I use my CC number I lose drinks/tips/wifi.  I get asked if I want to pre-pay tips.

I have seen the same thing on "dummy" bookings I have been comparing.  I think Celebrity's old pricing system is fighting with the new pricing system!!

This is my trial booking. See the MembersOnly Discount.  AI is still there

The Celebrity website always works perfectly to give you wrong info.  My TA said they pulled more staff into handling refunds and L&S.  Maybe this means the website will get even worse.

Curious to know duration of the cruise, destination and ship.

OK thank you!  To me that is a fair price for that cruise in an Aqua suite, do think it is?  We have an APEX 12-day, same exact Med itinerary as yours, Sky Suite S1 #9306 aft.  Aug 28, 2021, $13,821.78, we feel good about what we are paying.

For that booking it works as you said but not all bookings.

I must have missed something. How do you trigger the MemberOnlyNRD perk. When I try to book a S2 suite on a May 2021 cruise, that NRD perk doesn't appear?

The IS parameters from old and new are fighting one another.

It is a joke, referencing some seeing the site asking if they want tips to be included, others seeing all of the new "perks" included in AI in booking.  The old system and the new system are not quite yet in sync, or so it seems, I was saying that the systems are duking it out to see who wins.

Thanks! I had a feeling there was a joke in there somewhere. 🙂

No, no. It's cool. I'm just going through cruise withdrawl and with 14 future cruises currently book, my big joy every day is trying to find how I can get a better deal on any of them. 😁

Are you entering your CC number before you start the booking?

Yes, as well as being logged on. It's a 7 day Millennium Alaska cruise in May 2021.

Are you being asked to prepay tips?  I just tried my booking again and it's the same.  I lose AI if I enter my CC #.

 

I wonder if there will be a fare sale after New Years?

No, it just asked if I want it to be a refundable deposit and if I want insurance. I also just tried booking a veranda, but AI was automatically included as well.

Are you getting any discount with your CC#?  Remind me what is not working right?

I'm getting the Military discount, but not the MemberOnlyNRD perk. BUT AI is always included.

I could be wrong, but I think this MemberOnlyNRD perk is associated with the Captains Club promo going on now on cruises between July and Dec 2021, of which the May cruise I'm looking at doesn't apply.

I'm looking at a 11/7/21 cruise.  Discount means no All included.  I see no pattern.  Maybe my TA can get the discount.
