Rare Cruise Junky Posted April 8, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Do you think it will be back for fall cruise in 2016? No idea but it seems to be offered most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted April 8, 2015 #5 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Confusing to me b/c another cruisecritic thread is all about increased prices for alc packages etc., which made me think perks were beng phased out..the whole perks thing is. really becoming annoying . Happy for those who get it or already have it, but it seems inconsistent.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy1975 Posted April 8, 2015 #6 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) They have been doing similar things for the last 2 years I think and the timing of when promotions end/ come back are pretty similar. In my opinion it will be very difficult for Celebrity to stop offering a "pick your perk" of some sort because it is pretty much expected by those that want to get something for booking a cruise with them. I know it makes me think about what to do next if there is a promotion like this attached to the cruise, as long as I think I am getting a decent overall pricing. In fact we were looking at another cruise for November but decided to wait for the promotion to come back. I will check pricing today and tomorrow to see what changes (if anything) :) I am glad it is back Edited April 8, 2015 by Sandy1975 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamcruzin Posted April 8, 2015 #7 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) Well that was fast. I guess you have to end a promotion at some point to be able to legally advertise it as such or else it just becomes regular price.

GoSpurs Posted April 8, 2015 #8 Share Posted April 8, 2015 What are the chances this would apply to a TA from Rome in October 2015? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Junky Posted April 8, 2015 Author #9 Share Posted April 8, 2015 What are the chances this would apply to a TA from Rome in October 2015? Zero. Second line of the fine print says it excludes TAs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNJCruisers Posted April 8, 2015 #10 Share Posted April 8, 2015 What are the chances this would apply to a TA from Rome in October 2015? Zero. Second line of the fine print says it excludes TAs If I am not mistaken, I believe that the only time TA's were covered was during the very first incarnation of the 1-2-3 promotion back in January of 2013.

happy cruzer Posted April 8, 2015 #11 Share Posted April 8, 2015 It's also advertised here on cc with banners at the top and bottom. However when I followed the links to an Hawaii cruise on the celebrity site it says no special offers... Is it really available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It currently excludes transatlantic, transpacific and repositioning cruises. The Hawaii cruise must qualify as a transpacific one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogofman Posted April 8, 2015 #13 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Looks like this offer is only available in US, here in UK the only offer until 1st June is up to $400 OBC No drinks or grats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 81Zoomie Posted April 8, 2015 #14 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Notice it has been renamed..."3-2-1 Done." This complicates changing reservations. And, the prices are no bargain. You are definitely paying for your "selection." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Junky Posted April 8, 2015 Author #15 Share Posted April 8, 2015 It currently excludes transatlantic, transpacific and repositioning cruises. The Hawaii cruise must qualify as a transpacific one. The Vancouver - Hawaii cruise has never been classified as a Transpacific in the past.

happy cruzer Posted April 8, 2015 #16 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) Also I was following the links from the special page that were supposed to br the featured cruises offered. I'm guessing it may be for Europe 2015 only but the website doesn't indicate it. Edited April 8, 2015 by happy cruzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaBag Posted April 8, 2015 #17 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) We have it on the Hawaii to Vancouver cruise for 2016, but not the transpacific before it. These were booked on the last promotion. Edited April 8, 2015 by TeaBag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted April 8, 2015 #18 Share Posted April 8, 2015 We have it on the Hawaii to Vancouver cruise for 2016, but not the transpacific before it. These were booked on the last promotion. By last promotion to you mean the Spring Savings one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruizen Susan Posted April 8, 2015 #19 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Wow, I'm new at this promotion thing and choosing the right timing to book. We've taken many cruises, and used to just go through our travel agent. Then last year, I discovered free pre-paid gratuities and OBC included. Then last month, I caught the Spring into Savings deal in March, which includes the gratuities, the classic beverage package for two, AND $500 SBC!!!! Best deal yet. I will be more discerning now as to when I book!! Happy cruisin' Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmk Posted April 8, 2015 #20 Share Posted April 8, 2015 What are the chances this would apply to a TA from Rome in October 2015? I wish:rolleyes: Everyone on this board will tell you that TA prices are so cheap that these promotions are not for TAs. Bah Hunbug:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted April 8, 2015 #21 Share Posted April 8, 2015 So I just got an email from a major online cruise agency promoting this. At the end of the page without any details about it they have this line in red; "It gets even better! Book a Concierge on sailings January 2016 through April 2017 and receive all 3 perks when you book April 9 - May 10!" I'm wondering if this is exclusive to them or if Celebrity will be rolling it out tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ghstudio Posted April 8, 2015 #22 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I wish:rolleyes: Everyone on this board will tell you that TA prices are so cheap that these promotions are not for TAs. Bah Hunbug:mad: I suspect the real reason they don't apply to TA,TP and repositioning cruises is that you have so many sea days....and to cover the cost of the promotion, they would have to increase fares to the point where those cruises weren't viewed as bargains. Heck, the prices have already gone up a fair amount even without these promotions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamthesea Posted April 8, 2015 #23 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) http://www.creative.rccl.com/Sales/Celebrity/Multi_Dest/Special_Offers/15043765_CEL_PYP_2015_Offer_Flyer.pdf Notice it has been renamed..."3-2-1 Done." This complicates changing reservations. And, the prices are no bargain. You are definitely paying for your "selection." I think these are two different promos. PYP is choose 1 perk and is available for booking under thru May 10th. 3-2-1 Done is only available for three days - thru this Friday. Here you can get all 3 perks if booking an OV or higher.

When I checked on the Celebrity site this morning nothing was offered not even pick your perk. But.... We all know how their site is always hit or miss.

Heck, the prices have already gone up a fair amount even without these promotions. Yes, but many people on the Vancouver to Honolulu (and Vice Versa) say they got it on the promo for that part, which I actually thought was excluded. It has 5 sea days on it. Apparently I made a mistake by not booking during the promo period. It is considered a Hawaii cruise. Go figure. I checked my sailing for May 2016. I'm booked in cc and have all three. When I checked on the Celebrity site this morning nothing was offered not even pick your perk. But.... We all know how their site is always hit or miss. Yes, but today is the 8th. That promo, whether it's the agency or X's starts on the 9th. So if it is a X promo it wouldn't show until then. The PYP is only for cruises through the end of 2015, so it wouldn't be eligible for that. Edited April 8, 2015 by ORV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
