Spotted this early this morning, just in time to change our flights across the pond to get the caribbean cruise next weekend.

 

thanks what was the offer something about obc if booking before april?

Just released in the UK extended deal to 30 april 2014 see:

http://www.celebritycruises.co.uk/cruise-deals/choose-and-cruise.aspx

 

does include some caribbean for early 2015

 

Also special deal for Century in far East

It would also appear that the cruise has to be eligible for 123go, for the 25 points to kick in. That, I guess means I do not need to rush at booking a transatlantic before the end of the year. (not on the 123go list). The devil is always in the detail. !! see http://celebritycruises.co.uk/images/123Go%20Sailings_tcm20-47253.pdf for applicable 123go deals per the UK site.

 

According to Celebrity UK, per phone, 25 points is applicable to new bookings of non 123go cruises for Captain Club members.

You sure you went to the UK site.

 

Just taken a look and it doesnt say Aqua and above on the UK site. Only the US site.

We are considering taking a 14 day on the Eclipse out of Southampton. The Itinerary had 6 sea days and 7 port stops. We would love to hear from those who have gone on a Celebrity 14 day cruise with 6 sea days during spring (May 10 - May 24, 2014 are the actual dates). How was the weather through the Atlantic in May given we would hope to use the ship fully on those 6 days. Thank you in advance.

By the end of day 2 you should be near entering the Med and temperatures should be rising nicely. On the way back the last 2 days from Lisbon to Southampton you could expect it to get cooler, but all being well, warm enough to sun bathe. Have a great trip you will love the Eclipse.

Yes Sue, I noticed it at the weekend too. I have now removed the Celebrity US bookmark I had and replaced it with My Celebrity Login using this link which seems to take me to the area I used to look at:

Thanks, Phil

Have added the link.

Cheers, Roy

Since the weekend, everytime I try to log onto www.celebritycruises.COM, I am taken to www.celebritycruises.CO.UK. As I usually want the .com site [for My Celebrity, Gifts by Celebrity, etc.], this is very annoying.

 

Is this a recent change by Celebrity or have I changed some setting on my laptop?

Hi Sue

I also have struggled with this issue since last week.

I spent a lot of time identifying celebrity cookies and deleting them. To no avail.

It is very frustrating being forced to websites that you do not wish to go to.

Presumably, Celebritiy's actions now also prevent any visitors to the UK accessing their home sites.

Regrettably, these changes also mean multiple pages to be accessed just to log in.

[SIZE=1][quote name='Tennant']I received an email from celebrity (by mistakes?) About 6 or so weeks ago offering free beverage packages on European sailing for UK residents only. I think this has already been mentioned but that promotion was definitely not available to US residents. Why didn't some of the UK residents that are so upset about this issue book several weeks ago when a similar offer was presented? Not sure why celebrity offers these promotions to certain residents only but I would have been eligible for that promotion as it included inside cabins if it had been a available to US residents since this one does not.[/quote][/SIZE]

The drinks package that was released in the Uk for bookings from 10th Dec only applied to two ships. Generally going to Norway. At this time I was onboard Constellation and as a non US or CA citizen could not partake of the super deal at that time of $1000 0BC.

It is my understanding that the 123 deal applies to some 450 sailings,(including anywhere in Europe) but I stand to be corrected..........[I] "With as many as 450 cruises sailing from February 2013 to April 2014, you're sure to find the perfect vacation and the perfect offer to go with it."[/I]

Yes, folks in Europe are a bit upset about these double standards.

Having just returned from Eclipse 4 Night Southampton - Cork -Southampton, I can report as follows. New prices have been introduced which include the gratuity (as previously expected). The premium package price limit per drink was $13.75 . The price of a cocktail at the Molecular bar was $13.75 (So, technically, the cocktail price reduced !) The price limit on the Classic package was $5.75 for the miscellany of smoothies, coffees, teas, beers etc. The limit for wine by the glass, cocktails and spirits was $9.25. The daily package price was $56.35 per day and $44.85 respectively.

I am afraid I am unsure as to whether or not the new pricing was for 'out of Southampton' sailings only or for all Celebrity European sailings.
