20% off most cruises fares through 9/16

[Jeremiah1212]

May want to do some price checking or shopping around. I'm seeing some pretty substantial price adjustments this morning.

 

 

[Lady Arwen]

Just refared  our Edge cruise for 2022 and saved 1400.00!  Wow!

[mikkelhansen]

The official "promotion" page is here: https://www.celebritycruises.com/promo-controller?contentPromotionId=promotion-170

- 298 sailings included at the moment, which sounds pretty much like all future sailings, except Galapagos.

I expect several users on the board to be able to fetch substantial savings with this promotion.

As a newcomer to Celebrity, if you have already payed in full and a promotion comes out with a lower price, can you refare your cruise? Is the refund sent back to your credit card or is it in the form of OBC or FCC?

We were booked on Beyond, TA, Nov 2022, we have since canceled.  We were able to get a better suite on Oceania, similar itinerary, though 2 less days, 10 rather than 12, $$ diff for the two of us was almost $8k.  No always included but with the $$ savings who cares.  Anyway, today I looked at the same suite on Beyond that we have canceled, it is now $3k LESS than what we were booked at.  Something is happening, Delta giving people pause and starting to cancel? IDK but just glad we do not sail until late in 2022.

I just checked the new price on my cruise and it would reduce my fare by less than $40. The 20% discount was applied but the base price had increased by nearly the same amount in just the past week or so. I hope it works out better in general.

You should be able to have the cruise repriced, and after final payment the difference would be awarded as non-refundable onboard credit, as far as I am aware.

Just got $578 additional OBC on a Edge  cruise.

[Fouremco]

Checked my March 2022 booking, and it would cost $2,000 more to refare. Perhaps a good sale for more recent bookings, but not for ones that have been held for any length of time.

[gerelmx]

Haha, After yesterday's price increases this discount is a joke, the discount it's not valid world wide 🤬

If you are before the final payment the price is adjusted, if it is after the final payment it is on board credit

Do all cruise lines do this or is it just Celebrity?  SO if one is saving say $1500, it goes to OBC, kind of hard to use all that if your not buying overpriced jewelry, art work etc.

Yesterday there were substantial price increases on all my cruises, it seems that this discount is a joke

We booked our Edge cruise for Europe in 2022 in early spring and the price never changed until today when the 20% discount was applied.  We got a major price reduction!

[susiesan]

As the cruise I am looking at is Nov. 29, 2021 Millenium from Ft. Lauderdale if I book it now I have to pay in full. So if the price drops again I would have to take the OBC.

 

For a veranda guaranty the price went down $458 and down $680 for the AI  veranda between yesterday and today.

After final payment the cruiseline is really not obligated to give you anything.  The fact you’re able to get it in OBC is beyond fair.  Use it for excursions, specialty restaurants, the spa, etc.  I would be thrilled with $1500 OBC!

[MarkWiltonM]

Thank you! Just re-fared a cruise on Millennium for next April and saved $1,000!

[duck65]

To those who got back  $$ as OBC, when the price went down for myself they gave it back as cash, and doubled it. WHY, do not know.

Thank you!  I guess things have certainly changed recently.  In the past, once we were after final payment, you had to beg for a little OBC if the price was reduced.  Many times we were denied.  I appreciate the update ver much!

call them and find out, most they can do is say no

[5waldos]

Assume you have to go through your TA to do this? My cruise has dropped significantly.
