Andy Posted February 4, 2013 Author #1226 Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) What does a non 5* rate mean? Hi Phaedra, Generally speaking, rates that are Non-Five Star, are special rates... such as: Senior, Resident, Guarantee (GTY) rates, and some other assorted rates. I hope that was gentle enough, and is helpful :) Edited February 4, 2013 by Host Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume that the promotion is applicable to GTY at least. Hi Wuselb, I have been repeatedly told the 123 GO offer is not applicable to GTY cabins. Either you got lucky, or perhaps... as I believe you are outside of the US, the terms might be different in your region. At any rate, I'm glad it worked out well for you !

Bobkat1542 Posted February 5, 2013 #1231 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I will be on the Reflection next week and I want to book 2 rooms for me and my family on a cruise in April. If I book by 2-18, I can take advantage of 123 Go. Is there a further advantage to booking these rooms while I am on board the Reflection next week? I read somewhere in this forum that Celebrity offers an OBC when you book while cruising -- true? Can I combine these 2 offers? If I put a hold on 2 rooms before the cruise, may I still go ahead and book the rooms from the Reflection, since time is short? If I book while on the Reflection, may I hand over to a TA for any further perks? Is there anything else I can do to minimize costs? Thanks!

Andy Posted February 5, 2013 Author #1232 Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) If the Captain's Club promo over with? The one with 1/2 deposits. Hi Iamthesea, The reduced deposits are part of the 123 GO offer, which is currently scheduled to end on 2/18. According the terms and conditions it states the following : 50% Reduced Deposit Offer applies to new individual bookings made more than 70 days from departure date. Reduced deposits begin Jan 17, 2013. Reduced deposit is not applicable to groups. Reduced deposit must be paid by Feb 18, 2013, unless sailing is within final payment period. I hope this helps.

Iamthesea Posted February 5, 2013 #1233 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Thank you. This was missing from my TA website when looking to book for next September. I thought perhaps it was the extra CC offer and that had disappeared. The site also did not mention the "get 3" promos for booking a European cruise.

Hi Andy Just talked with the Captains Club and was told Ocean VIew or above meets the 123 GO requirement, whether its a GTY or assigned cabin.

Andy, I am scheduled for the 3/23/13 reflection cruise. We are booked in AC and have the beverage package from the 123 special. My question, occasionally if the prices drop we trade up for a suite- would I be able to transfer the package to the upgrade? I deal with a travel agent.

Hi Bob, Celebrity offers 2 promotions for booking onboard, but neither of them are combinable with 123 GO. What you should receive, is a reduced deposit offer. From other members comments, this should be combinable with 123 GO. As for handing your booking to a TA - You can, but it's a short window (I believe it's 60 days) from time of booking, to move it to a TA. They may be able to offer additional perks, but that's something you would discuss with the TA. I hope this helps !

cheriberi Posted February 5, 2013 #1237 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We booked our February 10, 2013 cruise through our TA and were able to add the beverage package after final payment. We did receive a revised invoice from our TA indicating that we had the beverage package, but it never appeared on the Celebrity website. When I logged into my reservation today it was listed under My Cruise Extras. I was very relieved to have it confirmed on my reservation since we leave on Sunday! Can't wait for that first Pina Colada! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait for that first Pina Colada! I booked online and then called to get free gratuities for our 123 promo. I just looked and I had to go to the view reservation, then view payments. Where it details the charges, there is a credit for the gratuities under "other charges". Since we chose select dining, it nets out to zero. Seems like it depends on which promo you choose how it gets reflected on the bill. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booked through a TA, got it changed several weeks ago (after final payment), and just today I see it online with Celebrity. I do *not* have the option to upgrade this to the premium package online though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Andy, the german fineprint didn't say anything about 5star rate or whatever. As it did not say anything about upgrading to premium package. The german fineprint was rather unclear if not to say non-existent... No longer sure if that is a bad or a good thing though...;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doupa22 Posted February 5, 2013 #1244 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I'm sorry if this question has already been asked. It states: "Premium Beverage Package upgrade available for an additional charge of $10 per person, per day plus $1.50 beverage gratuity per person, per day by contacting Celebrity Cruises" $1.50 beverage gratuity? They mean per drink right? $1.50 per day would be ridiculously cheap. I assume they still want their 15% to pay the bartenders. Am I wrong here? Can someone help explain this to me:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind Celebrity has already included the 15% gratuity on the $44 per day "free" Classic beverage package. You're just paying the additional gratuity on the daily, additional upgrade. Of course you're always free to add additional gratuity to any bar server if/when you so choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare richstowe Posted February 6, 2013 #1248 Share Posted February 6, 2013 OMG - Over 1200 posts on this topic! Wow. Called my TA today to find out about the 1 2 3 promotion as we are looking at a Northern European cruise this summer. Unlike RC where you become a Crown & anchor member after final payment, with Celebrity you only become a Captain's Club member upon the completion of your first cruise. You only get 2 of the 3 perks for this promotion if you're not a "past guest". We are sailing only in 3 weeks and are therefore not Captain's Club members. Too too bad.:( (Yes I know it is still a very good promotion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike RC where you become a Crown & anchor member after final payment, with Celebrity you only become a Captain's Club member upon the completion of your first cruise. RCL is the same that you become a member after your first cruise. At best you can apply onboard, but you're still not issued a member number or anything else, just drop the application form off (and wait months!). In fact, all lines I've experienced have worked that way that you become a member after the cruise. Edited February 6, 2013 by The_Big_M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
