The point is to entice the penny pinchers with the lower rate. There will be some that take it. Those customers typically don't want or need large OBC amounts. They want the cheapest product possible. The flip side for TA's is the upsell when people realize the lower rate really isn't worth it and go ahead and book the AI rate instead.

It's not a glitch. All tables are not open for prebooked online reservations. They have to hold some back for onboard bookings. They may still be having some staffing issues and can't accommodate filling every single table either.

Where do you begin… Edge class, LLP, Kelly Hoppen, decorative accessories, magnetic walls (this is a new one), chairs that aren’t Lazy Boy recliners, lack of loyalty recognition, “the cutbacks”, “the demographics”, IT, prices, boring itineraries, boring webinars, COVID tests, the use of an app, food quality, too much food, not enough food, fake sales….. The list is literally miles long 🤯

The short name that will show up on many TA’s website inventory has been changed to ‘No Perk Rate’ also. People will inevitably book it accidentally but it’s fairly clear.

There will be a few special events but it’s really not that much different. I’d also be surprised if she and other exec’s on board stay on for the entire duration of the cruise.

They will still cover the cost related to flight changes if you booked with Flights by Celebrity. As atrocious as their service can be at times, it’s worth the peace of mind IMO.

You can use the existing $420 FCC towards the deposit but you still need to satisfy the entire amount due on the deposit.

Their US site (albeit with some outdated information) still says they will test all passengers from US, Canadian and other high risk areas with an antigen test at the pier.
