rlgtan Posted April 4, 2013 #1627 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Can someone please tell me if after final payment and I want to upgrade can I still keep the 123:confused: Hello, I did. I checked pricing weekly to see if the pricing dropped. This past weekend it dropped. I upgraded from a balcony 2C to AS (Aqua Suite) for $120/person on an 11 night Mediterranean cruise on the Reflection. I was able to keep my 123 promo. I chose the beverage package and $300 OBC. I was also able to keep my $315 and $75 dining credit from the TA. I originally booked back in December 2012. I was on the phone with the TA for an hour. It was worth it in my opinion.

Andy Posted April 4, 2013 Author #1628 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Does anyone think they will open the 123 package for the April 2014 sailings again? I have a group of people on the April 5th Reflection cruise. More people want to book but this time the package was only good till March:( Hi Sami, Unfortunately, there's no way of knowing. The 123 GO promotion is very popular, and I wouldn't be surpised to see it offered again at some point. Keep in mind that Celebrity is running another offer for the new deployments for Captains Club Members. It's not 123 GO, but it's a pretty good offer. I hope this helps !

Thanks The original 123 Go sale that came out in Jan included into April of 2014, but when it came back in March it only included up to March of 2014. My understanding is that if you didn't book during the Jan sale, you can't get the drink package for the April 2014 sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisersTimesThree Posted April 23, 2013 #1635 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Hoping someone has done this and can give me a clear answer. Booked a cruise over the weekend with a Celebrity agent to Bermuda and took the beverage package for myself and DH. Payment was made in full since the cruise is in June. Told the agent that we wanted to upgrade to the premium package, but will do it onboard as we will have $600 in OBC, so that is how I want to pay for it. He told me that he can put in the upgrade, we'll get an invoice for the $161 cost of the upgrade, but we don't have to pay it, it will be put on the onboard account and then taken from the OBC. Has anyone done this? Requested the upgrade prior to cruising, not paid it and then had it on their onboard account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keys Kathy Posted April 24, 2013 #1636 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I have read on this thread that that is the case. I upgraded mine onboard on the Silhouette in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upwarduk Posted April 24, 2013 #1637 Share Posted April 24, 2013 This is the reply that has been sent to me regarding my query about 123 Go promotion, which I sent to Celebrity on JANUARY 22 nd. It has taken 3 months for Celebrity to reply: Good Afternoon Mrs Calverley Thank you for your email. I understand your disappointment that the US 123 promotion is not applicable to UK guests. Firstly, I would like to reassure you that we genuinely appreciate your loyalty, and the loyalty of all our guests. It is certainly not our intention to disappoint you with our promotional policies. However, as you are aware, we run a variety of promotions throughout the year to encourage new bookings. All of these are bound by certain restrictions such as ships, sail dates, and booking dates and promotions can change in a matter of weeks. Across our International Company, we have multiple offers that are country specific. These offers are not combinable with other countries offers. We are very sorry for any upset that you experienced recently due to the different promotions that we offer. I would like to opportunity to welcome you on board one of our ships in the future – I know we would be able to restore your faith in our company. Thank you for taking the time to contact us. Many Thanks and Kind Regards, Laura Hearn Senior Service Agent UK & Ireland Guest & Trade Services Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadianguy Posted April 27, 2013 #1639 Share Posted April 27, 2013 With the newly announced Triple Play offer, has anyone been able to add a third choice to their existing 1-2-3 promo (previously had to choose 2 of 3) before final payment on a summer 2013 European booking?

NorthShoreCruiser Posted April 27, 2013 #1640 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I'm not sure if this was mentioned in the postings or not, but I'll give the info anyway. If you do book the Triple Play - it needs to be on one of the selected Europe sailings, which is easy to find if you look at the Triple Play on the Celebrity Site. Also, I found out - if someone books a Suite Category cabin you will get an additional $500 credit (cabin credit I believe). Hope this might help someone. We had to disembark from our April cruise on the Navigator in Fort Lauderdale because I injured myself.... Anyway, we are trying to find another great cruise. One thing that we were upset about is the great people we met onboard (only if we were on the ship for 2 days) through Cruise Critic. We're still very sad about the incident. However, we look forward to meeting up with many of you again. I'll try and keep my feet planted firmly on the ground the next time. Northshore Cruiser & N.O.Angel PS I think the beverage package is great and hopefully we will continue to get similar packages on some of our other cruises.

BEAV Posted May 25, 2013 #1641 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Friends who booked a 2014 Aussie sailing under 123 w/beverage package are no longer able to make that cruise. They'd like to switch to a Sept 2013 cruise aboard Millie Vancouver to San Diego. Can they retain their 123 beverage package on the Sept cruise as long as they remain on a Five Star or Group X rate?

knowehead Posted May 25, 2013 #1642 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Hi Wwcruisers, Thanks for sharing your experience. That's exactly what I experienced on Connie a few weeks ago, and will be sure to inquire while onboard Eclipse. Hi andy just found this topic I booked and paid the deposit on the 10th of January for a cruise on equinox on the 4th of July 2013 should I have not be offered 123? I live in the uk. Final payment was made on the 6th of may. Sent from my iPad using Cruise Critic Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishayes Posted May 25, 2013 #1643 Share Posted May 25, 2013 When I booked my June, 2014 Med cruise, I asked about whether the 123 promotion was going to extend into 2014 sailings. The CSR told me that as of now, it was not on 2014 sailings, but if they extended it, all I needed to do was call back and they would add the promotion to my sailing. From what I am now reading, that doesn't sound like she was correct in telling me that. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My DH and I learned of the package last year and our TA added it to our reservation without any problem I am waiting for same for 2014 if and when they offer it We do not use an on line discount TA, so I cannot advise about that.

I went to the bar and upgraded myself and dh decided not to upgrade. Nothing was taken 'automatically' from our shipboard account. Also, when we checked in, it was not reflected on the face of our cabin cards. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keys Kathy Posted May 30, 2013 #1646 Share Posted May 30, 2013 If you have the OBC, you should use it for the package. They will put a sticker on your card at any bar or the front desk. If you "loose" your card, they will print you another card with the package type printed on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christina i was charged the gratuities at $132 and then i had gratuities code with a -$132 next to it to show my pre-paid gratuities were applied. i think it is safer to have it noted on your confirmation than not.
