iandjm Posted March 9, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Hi, I have just booked Eclipse for 2012 and was amazed that the third person fare for an 8 night cruise is £739! Seems very steep when you think that last year the third person fare in a Celebrity Suite on a 16 night cruise was £350! Anyway am glad I have it booked. Really looking forward to Norway on Eclipse :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uktraveller Posted March 9, 2011 #2 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Seems to me that the £350 is more out of line.......our 3rd person on a 10 night Equinox is £800ish. Did you book through the Captains Club preview event? I've got my eye on the Norway/Iceland itinerary...:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iandjm Posted March 9, 2011 Author #3 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Hi, Yes my agent booked via the captains club event that I know nothing about lol. Once again the captains club advertising has failed. No emails or post telling me I can book today. I only knew thanks to an agent telling me. It's great being elite :rolleyes: Come along Ian :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisestitch Posted March 9, 2011 #5 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Now might be a good time to go to "My Celebrity" on their website and update your mail and e-mail preferences. Maybe they are keeping you from getting the e-mail updates you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie Jean Posted March 9, 2011 #9 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I have just booked as well and the 3rd person cost for a 14 night 2012 cruise was around £900 - quite steep for a 20 month old baby! Although it is cheaper than the £1000 3rd person cost for our cruise this September... What was interesting was that I was told that the itinerary for the 14 night Azores/Canaries cruise is now different to the one published in the email that went out yesterday - looks like they have dropped the stop at Porto.

They have done the same on my 2012 med cruise. Its a way of saving fuel (it's only 1 day at sea from Vigo!!) and making more onboard revenue too. Not that happy as was looking forward to visiting a new place. It is not good marketing either, telling us all about the new port of Porto, then a week later cancelling all stops there. The last they could so is stay in Lisbon til midnight? Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iandjm Posted March 10, 2011 Author #11 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I can see P&O and Cunard taking a lot of Celebritys UK bookings for 2012 with the 3rd person prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
