Amylou1981 Posted September 26, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I love it when this happens because we can get a big group together to all commit to at least making a deposit on a cruise. Far easier than the typical $900 deposit. Any insider info here? I have not seen one in a WHILE... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guilga Posted September 26, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 26, 2018 We reserved in March this year with the 50$ deposit, in a big group actually! So they definitely still exist, I don't know the frequency though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gishua_ Posted September 27, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I have been waiting for them as well. They typically do one in the fall and once at the beginning of the year. I am hoping around black Friday. Keep an eye out and follow Celebrity on social media, they always announce it on Twitter first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes folks book as many as four cabins on one cruise just to hold space until they decide which one they actually want. This causes low inventory levels. which may lead to price increases. Once final payment date arrives all the excess cabins are canceled and do to the glut of inventory prices drop causing angst for many people who duly note same on cruise critic.

dkjretired Posted September 27, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Keep in mind that if you transfer your reservation to a TA from Celebrity you may be required to pay the normal deposit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny01 Posted September 27, 2018 #9 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I agree with the problem noted with such low deposits, and the OP provides the perfect example of why it is not a great idea: “we can get a big group to at least make a deposit”. I guess if someone won’t make a larger deposit, then they aren’t that interested in cruising. Den Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
