Pilot70D Posted April 1, 2009 #1 Share Posted April 1, 2009 This morning I noticed that Celebrity was doing a new open cabin promotion to stimulate bookings during this downturn in the economy. It does look interesting. Celebrity is going to set aside a certain number of cabins on all Alaska sailings this season. There will be cabins from almost all categories and they will be available on a first come first served basis on the day of sailing. The pricing for all of these cabins will be the same and will be whatever the inside cabin rate is for that particular voyage. Apparently this promo is only for new bookings only. I think this promo is a great idea but I do have a couple of questions. Won't demand for these bargain basement cabins cause the terminal to look like an after Thanksgiving sale with all the people lined up? Also, how can they issue docs and get these last minute passengers aboard? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veronica13 Posted April 1, 2009 #3 Share Posted April 1, 2009 What Elite Members? You mean some of us are still booking Celebrity? ;) No Globe, I think the new cruisers will be just fine, with lots of similar company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
