I hadn’t previously noticed a CC discount for Hollywood Hot Glass. I’ll have to spend more time checking out the newer benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laslomas Posted September 12, 2022 #27 Share Posted September 12, 2022 2 hours ago, Cruising from Mississauga said: I have found two separate pages on Celebrity's website, indicating that there is a discount to upgrade to a premium drink package from the classic package included in the fare. What is interesting is that one page says I get a 10% discount to upgrade; the other page says it's 15% (Elite level). I have asked and not yet received an answer as to what the correct number is, but either way it's higher than the 9% shown in a recent email offering discounts for pre-booking... The 9% is a SALE price, available to everyone at the moment. The Captain's Club discount is on top of this. The price comes out differently depending on which they take off first 🤫😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaroleSS Posted September 12, 2022 #28 Share Posted September 12, 2022 For our sailing, there is a 9% discount off "shipboard prices". Elite get 15% off and Select get 10% off. Currently, for us, the difference between classic and premium (with the 9% off) is $14 pp/day. Multiply that by 1.2 (20% gratuity) then again by .85 for elite or .9 for select, then again by the number of days in your cruise and you should get the price to upgrade.

CaroleSS Posted September 12, 2022 #29 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I guess the burning question is.....do you suppose they will have a Black Friday sale bigger than 9%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wynnne Posted September 12, 2022 #30 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Is it possible to upgrade only one person, or do both people in a cabin have to upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nimiq Posted September 13, 2022 #33 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Hello all, Were do you guys see the rebate on the upgrade as last week when I did my upgrade from my upcoming cruise on the Beyond in November the agent only gave me my 10% discount for being Select. So for our 7 nights cruise the the total upgrade price came out to 223,02$ Total. Like I said I only see the 10% discount for being select member. Let me know where and how to get that extra % off.

laslomas Posted September 13, 2022 #34 Share Posted September 13, 2022 (edited) When I upgraded a couple of weeks ago I worked out the price before phoning. The price shown in my Cruise Planner showed a 9% reduction then I took off 15% (Elite) and waited to hear what I was offered by Celebrity. The cost was slightly less than I had worked out, by a few pounds for the 11 nights, so I did not argue and upgraded. I just wanted to be prepared. If the cost had been higher I was prepared to fight it out!! Edited September 13, 2022 by laslomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimiq Posted September 13, 2022 #35 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Hello again, Here is what I meant it seems likey only gave me the 10% discount for being Select. Should I call back and ask for that 9% extra they are showing in my cruise planner ? ‘Also to make it clear when you à;; say upgrading from Classic to Premium do you all have the all included or you only have drink package and ask for upgrade ? Thanks all Sea Ya ‘Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaroleSS Posted September 13, 2022 #36 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Eric, If I do the math.... $223.02 / 2 = 111.51 per person 111.51 / 1.2 = 92.93 before gratuities 92.93 / 7 = 13.28 per day 13.28 / 0.9 = 14.75 per day before your 10% discount If you go to your cruise planner, what is the difference between classic and premium? Do you see anything that says there is an sale going on? We have the Always Included and are basing an upgrade upon the difference between the sale price of classic versus the sale price of premium. In our case, that would be $14. What number do you see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaroleSS Posted September 13, 2022 #38 Share Posted September 13, 2022 It appears that the difference is $14 (although part of the picture is cut off - so the price of classic isn’t shown), so.... $14*7*1.2*.9 = 105.84 pp price*days*gratuities*CC discount for both of you, it comes to 211.68 USD or 278.05 CDN (with today’s exchange rate) I would call back and ask if the 9% discount had been applied as it does not appear that they did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mljatsea Posted September 13, 2022 #40 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Just did our elite upgrade and only got the 10%. Basically that means I got a whole 1% extra over anyone who booked ahead. Sounds like discounts are all over the place depending on what agent you get. Oh, well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first called to upgrade, I was told by the agent that the Elite upgrade to premium was only 10% off, and I booked it. When I posted that on CC, a poster said that was wrong. So I called back and the agent I got that time said it was supposed to be 15% and I did receive the additional 5% off. I really appreciate all that I learn from fellow posters.

Steve H Posted September 13, 2022 #42 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I did a upgrade for my wife today and I can’t believe how fast I’m able to speak to a agent. I called and was speaking to someone In less than a couple of minutes. I got the sale price at $197cdn. tips included for 14 nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
