Kia ora kiwichick62! Thanks very much for your reply.
We got a great deal for our back-to-back cruise through Vacations2go but never saw any Sales on beverage packages, etc.
5% discount was what was available on the Celebrity website, which seems a little tight...even though it was promoted as a "Sale." As far as the Specialty Dining, the last time we were on the Equinox, we had a number included in our cruise fare...not anymore, apparently... AND now, it's more expensive. I'll see what they say when I call them.
We're from Roto'Vegas and looking forward to escaping the early Winter!
