Rare woodards Posted August 5, 2021 #1 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Hi all, Has anyone had experience of requesting Best Offer Guarantee through a UK travel agent, I am assuming I am unable to go direct to Celebrity and request? Price dropped a week after booking through 'chilly' TA and all they said is they would come back to me after they have spoken with Celebrity...... Be interested in anyones experience/successes! Thanks' in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downsmead Posted August 5, 2021 #6 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Was it Celebrity’s price that dropped? I see that some TAs are offering a cheaper deal than Celebrity but that does not count for the Best Offer I don’t think. From what I have seen, Celebrity have been very careful with the U.K. sailings not to drop their price in order to avoid the refunds, though other sailings (such as Apex) have had reductions as shown above.

Yes Celebrity have dropped price. So I have some level of optimism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
