NLH Arizona Posted November 29, 2013 #151 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I'm booking the Summit today and will take advantage of the 123 promotion (first time ever), but will forgo the extra 25 points, as I prefer the concierge class location and it is not worth changing to an Aqua class just for the points.

AlbertaCruisers Posted November 29, 2013 #152 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Our fare remained the same. Our TA was able to get the BEV123GO Package attached to our September 2014 cruise on the Summit to New England/Canada and our January 2015 cruise on the Solstice from New Zealand to Sydney. We were able to keep our $350 OBC from Future Cruise Sales for each cruise. For the $350 for OBC from your onboard booking, did you book onboard after August 1? I think so, because I think before that the OBC was $300, but I just wanted to confirm. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the OBC was $350 for concierge or above for 14-15 nights, but $300 for 10-13 nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinyork Posted November 30, 2013 #154 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Well after posting on here about price increases if booking in the UK on a May cruise I was looking at prior to the 123 Promo starting, I went looking for a US agent. Found a great deal and booked it up. As a comparison: UK agent 2D Obstructed Balcony - £1849 Free Drinks package Free Tips US agent C3 Concierge Balcony -£1465 Free Drinks Package Free Tips $300 per cabin OBC The UK price for a C3 is currently £2255! Didnt particularly want a C3 but its all they had left on that rate and with those savings Im extremely happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C3 will give you more Captain's Club points; no contest for me. I hope all goes well, I don't see any reason why we can't book using a US agent, in the days of emails and credit cards.

Some people can use some extra points now that the system has changed.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Gal Posted December 2, 2013 #158 Share Posted December 2, 2013 You have it booked w/the "more" agency? Shouldn't be a problem. Are you able to give some more clues re this agency? I have worked out the 'con' agency but not this one and I would like to book a cruise plus get the best value for our dollar. Jennie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
