123GO beverage pkg promos may be going away for balconies/OVs

I have no idea if this is accurate, but here's what was stated in an email offer I got today from one of the major online TA's. Looks like once the SIS promo ends on Tuesday, it's not likely to be offered on a broad basis anymore below Concierge Class...

Celebrity's Popular Beverage Package Offer

Expires THIS TUESDAY (March 31, 2015)

@ 11:59 pm ET

 

Here's what Celebrity told us:

- The Beverage Package will NO LONGER be offered

for sailings prior to May 2016*

- The Beverage Package will NO LONGER be offered for Oceanviews & Balconies for all sailings

thru April 2017

(Only Concierge Class and higher)

 

* It MAY come back for specific sailings that fall behind projected sales and may need a "boost" in quick sales to bring them back on track,

however, most sailings are looking "good" right now.

I got the same email.

Looks like Celebrity is making their booking targets for 2015. If not, they will do a variation of this promo.

I was more interested in all the luxury cruise promotions that was included. Crystal, Seabourn, Regents all had discounts/promotions/ OBC. But the cavaet was the total needed to be under 5% of cruise price.

I have found that the UK sometimes offer different promotions, for instance there was a Classic Beverage package offered on TA sailings from Europe up to the end of November 2014.

Before everyone says 'it's not fair' remember that we have different T&C's and cannot move booked cruises without loosing our deposits. It's very rare to be offered large amounts of OBC in UK.
