Celebrity OBC - still parity with US? How much can I buy?

[ratacake]

Hi everyone,

 

Can anyone tell me, as my TA can't, if it's still possible to buy OBC for our Century cruise tp Fiji in October. On an older thread, I read that Celebrity is offering Dollar for Dollar and I want to buy $AD500 worth, as we've got the 1-2-3 Classic Package, but we like a bottle of wine with dinner. We aren't "Elite" or "Conceige" class, just (youngish) :cool: Pensioners who enjoy our cruises once a year!

 

ALSO - hopefully we can book a night at Murano (if the money holds out). Any comments on the $45 pp charge?

 

Anyone, please?

 

Thank you all - love reading all the posts - specially the OZ ones....:D

Don't know about the obc but the food is so good I would not worry if you don't make it..we had dinner in murano and the Madrid was just as good. If you do want to try the specialty restaurants book the first night of your cruise it's usually cheaper.

I bought some more OBC a couple of days ago and the guy told me the exchange rate is ongoing but nothing lasts forever. If you ring Celebrity you will need to ask for Celebrity Admin as the call centre operator wont have a clue what the deal is

Hi all,

 

Thanks so much RugbyPopsie - not so much worried about the specialist restaurants now, but if the Madrid (new on Century? Indian? free?) is as good as Murano, we are looking good!

 

PS - my hubby follows Eastwood in the Sydney Ruggers........

 

Also thanks Beanb41 - I tried to buy OBC through the Celebrity website today and it was a nightmare - we're having enough trouble finding our Passports after last year - we've put them somewhere safe!! :confused: I'l give Celebrity a ring tomorrow and see what I can find out through their Admin. Dept.

 

Really appreciate your reply - thanks again

Oh, duh! :( Madrid - Indian? It's missplacing the Passports - I can't think anymore! A sign of Alzheimers do you think? :eek:
