Elusive_Cruiser Posted October 22, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I've been searching, but cannot seem to find the answer - does anyone know - if we book a B2B (2 x 7 days, same ship) while onboard our upcoming cruise, will we get the benefit of onboard booking for both segments? (eg three category upgrade, $100 onboard credit, low deposit). Celebrity website just tells you to get details while onboard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted October 22, 2012 #2 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Each cruise is considered a separate cruise. You will get two different booking numbers. You get the benefits twice -- once for each cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Frances Posted October 22, 2012 #3 Share Posted October 22, 2012 You might have better luck in keeping the same cabin for both legs as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elusive_Cruiser Posted October 22, 2012 Author #4 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Perfect - thanks for the replies! And yes, we are planning to select a cabin that is available on both legs! Will be nice to settle in only once for 14 days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fblack Posted October 22, 2012 #6 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Here's the best benefit of a B2B. Sit out at the pool with a good book and in your bathing suit around noon on "turn around" day while the passengers on the second leg of your cruise are boarding. They will look at you with envy.

Rare ORV Posted October 22, 2012 #7 Share Posted October 22, 2012 2 seven day cruises will get you $200 in OBC and 2 cruise credits. 1 14 day cruise will get you $300 obc and 2 cruise credits. Just saying. Of course you have to find a 14 day that takes you where you want to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying. Of course you have to find a 14 day that takes you where you want to go. Yup, I know! We just like the itinerary on the B2B that we are looking at.... so are considering all the options - but thanks for pointing that out. We just want to make sure we can get the onboard booking benefits for 2 cruises, vs being limited to being able to book for only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For each 7-day segment, if you are CC and above you get 2 cruise credits for each -- total of 4 credits. For a 14-day cruise, you get 3 cruise credits if you book CC and above.

wrk2cruise Posted October 23, 2012 #10 Share Posted October 23, 2012 You should also request the 14 day obc amount if it's not automatically offered. You are giving them the same 14 days of business $$. They offered it to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ghstudio Posted October 23, 2012 #11 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Once booked on board, you have 60 days to move the reservation to a travel agent. The reason you may want to do this is that some travel agents give their own obc's and/or free gratuities in addition to what celebrity gave you on board. You do not lose the celebrity free upgrade or obc's when you do this...they remain. You just get additional obc's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jveevers Posted October 23, 2012 #12 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I am taking 2 cruises in January/ february 2013 and thinking of booking another for November 2013. What are the benefits of booking onboard in January as opposed to booking now on-line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a little known secret. Ask for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italy52 Posted October 23, 2012 #15 Share Posted October 23, 2012 You should also request the 14 day obc amount if it's not automatically offered. You are giving them the same 14 days of business $$. They offered it to us. This offer was given to us when we booked our B2B Alaska cruise while on the Millennnium a couple of years ago. HOWEVER, when I contacted Celebrity about the reservations I found out that the 14-day credit had been lowered to what is normally given for two 7-day cruises. What bothered me the most is that Celebrity NEVER contacted us about this; I just happened to find out by accident. I had paperwork to prove that we were supposed to get the larger credit but that didn't fly with them. We were not the only ones who ran into this same issue. Luckily for us, Celebrity was offering a special promotion and we were able to get a larger cabin price reduction credit which offset the Celebrity mistake. My advice to anyone who gets the 14-day larger OBC for 2 7-day cruises is to watch your paperwork/account to ensure you get what you were told.
