NorthStarStateCruiser Posted February 24, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Just wanted to give a heads up to folks with cruises in this time range looking to purchase beverage packages or shore excursions (or cancel and rebook to obtain a discount). Looks like 40% off base drink package prices and that includes zero-proof, classic, and premium. Also, there's up to a 30% discount on shore excursions. Trio dining package available on sailings 6 nights or longer. The sale appears to be mostly ship dependent and is not available for all of them. Here's the ships I found did and did not have the cruise planner sale: Apex ❌ Beyond ✔️*Shore excursions & Trio dining package only Constellation ✔️ Eclipse ❌ Edge ✔️*Shore excursions & Trio dining package only Equinox ✔️*Shore excursions & Trio dining package only Infinity ❌ Millennium ✔️ Reflection: 3/5 sailing ✔️*Shore excursions & Trio dining package only Reflection: 3/12 & 3/19 sailings ✔️ Silhouette ❌ Solstice ✔️ Summit ✔️ Here's the fine print: "Web only offer, must be booked between February 23, 2023 – February 26, 2023 (“Offer Period”). Offer applies to select products and select sailings departing March 2, 2023 – March 19, 2023, excluding chartered and holiday sailings. The offer provides savings on select new purchases of shore excursions, specialty dining Trio Package and drinks, varying by product, ship, and length of voyage. The specialty dining offer percentage discount varies by restaurants chosen, and it is only available on select sailings, 6 nights and longer. Drink Packages offer excludes upgrades. Price shown at time of purchase reflects savings." 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI, you should be able to call in and have them adjust the price (partial refund) so you don't risk losing your spot. The offer does say web only, but I question how stringent they are on that.

charleysmom Posted February 24, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I’m really curious how you learned about this…. Hopefully something similar will come up for our April cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the best excursion I've done with 29 cruises under my belt. The crew were fabulous! They took us to a small beach for about an hour or so and then lunch on the way back. Very good lobster lunch! I would book this again in a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully something similar will come up for our April cruise. I saw someone posted that there was a sale on their cruise planner in a Celebrity group on the big social media platform. Didn't see anyone post about it here so figured I'd put it out there in case anyone would benefit. I'm not booked on a cruise in this time period, and I had to use my little hack (details below) to figure out which sailings in this time period have the sale going on. I've seen this type of cruise planner sale come up before for a sailing earlier this month. Notice of that sale came to my email. Hopefully they continue this and offer it more consistently, but I think their only reason to do this is to bring in increased revenue for sailings that are a bit behind. Here's the post where I detailed how to access the cruise planner for a sailing you're not currently booked for: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I was very disheartened working through that list to find out how many ships/sailings truly had the discount offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really looking forward to it. I read quite a few reviews about this excursions on TripAdvisor also !! It is the only one that we have booked for this cruise!! We are just going to do all of the rest of the islands on our own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really: "The offer provides savings on select new purchases of shore excursions, specialty dining Trio Package and drinks..." I would be happy with 40% off Zero Proof, but probably not going to be available for our sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
