But I wanted to add to the topic of luxury suites cost. We are booked into Penthouse Suite on the Edge right now for 10 nights in Europe. But we are paying only the price of the Sky Suite on the Infinity for 8 days :))) I guess there was some error on Celebrity web-site at the time I booked Infinity Penthouse suite for an amount just smidge higher than the cost of the Sky Suite. I am positive it was! I could not believe my eyes when I saw the price, and I was sure it would not work if I try to book it. But it actually worked! It is a non-refundable deposit deal - which I normally never do. But for THIS price - for THIS room - I didn't hesitate :)))) When the Infinity got cancelled out of Europe, we were able to rebook to the Edge instead - for the same price. And Celebrity did follow their pledge and gave us the only Penthouse Suite which was left at the moment on the Edge. We will see if all this is going to happen - with all the financial troubles etc. I hope it will, as this would be the only chance for us to be in this type of a room :))))) I would never consider to book something like this for a "normal" price they charge. The Edge suite has two bedrooms, and we are only two of us. I asked how much would it cost to add extra people. But was told that the price would go to a normal level if I do. So here we are - booked at the luxury suite :)))) And if the cruise will actually happen, people also would think of us as some crazy reach people :))))) We are lucky to celebrate my birthday and my husband retirement on this cruise. So if all this happens - we are going to be pretty lucky people indeed! Great Deal..ENJOY! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was actually a mistake, unlike the Iconic Suite which was the only available suite left. From what I'm seeing I don't think it was a mistake. The refundable fare for our Alaska cruise in Aug is just $30, whereas our Caribbean cruise in Nov. it's about $3000 USD. I have a feeling that X is intentionally inflating the cost for refundable fares on itineraries where they expect a higher percentage of last minute cancellations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoieNsk Posted January 24, 2022 #85 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) Thank you, everybody! It was an amazing deal even on Infinity! I hope this all will actually happen - considering how things are nowadays for cruise lines. But we did several trips already (one of them was a cruise this January on Royal) - which we were expecting to fall apart every moment before we actually had to go. And the travel seem to be getting back as we all learn how to live with Covid. So - fingers crossed! Edited January 24, 2022 by JoieNsk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
