vatofla2009 Posted August 26, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I received an email from Celebrity about a beverage package sale and I have the classic included as a perk. Can you upgrade before you go paying the difference at the sale price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted August 26, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Not normally. I called and the upgrade was the normal $10+20%. I was told the discount didn’t apply to the upgrade for my sailing. Once about 2 years ago there was 50% off the packages and I was able to upgrade at $5 +18%. Only time it every applied to the upgrade in my experience.

The 11 night cruise was £78.92 each the 13 night cruise was £81.61 each if you change that to dollars, please be aware that the exchange rate was more favourable to the pound then than it is now.

Mapomp Posted August 26, 2019 #4 Share Posted August 26, 2019 How do you get these emails? I have an upcoming cruise and I'd love to see about upgrading, but my mailbox is empty 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted August 26, 2019 #5 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Check your Cruise Planner. The sales usually are for select sailings. We have 6 bookings and not all are included in this sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShonaTay56 Posted August 27, 2019 #6 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I received the email about 7-8 weeks ago and tried to upgrade but it was not showing on the planner page. I contacted Celebrity UK who advised that our sailing did not qualify for the sail so they gave me the equivalent of what I would have saved as OBC as an apology for getting the email in error. Lo and behold I got the same email last week and went in to my cruise planner and was able to book it so I ended up saving the 10% discount plus the $30 or so that I got in OBC. What a boost, thanks Celebrity🍸🍸 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vatofla2009 Posted August 28, 2019 Author #7 Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) I called Celebrity and they would not le upgrade at the sale price. They quoted $10 a day +20% gratuity. Is it worth calling back to ask someone else? Edited August 28, 2019 by vatofla2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A way this can be confirmed is, by looking at your CP, it will show up there. bon voyage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vatofla2009 Posted August 28, 2019 Author #9 Share Posted August 28, 2019 It showed up in our cruise planner as 10% off at $62.10 per day....We have the classic package and they would not let me upgrade at the sale price which would be a difference of $3.10 per day + 20%. We would love to upgrade to premium plus but she said no to that also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo1953 Posted August 28, 2019 #10 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Okay, it is clear to me now and I will try to clarify it for you... This sale is for those who did not purchase any beverage package and not for upgrades from classic to premium. As well, P+ can only be purchased as a stand alone package and is not eligible for any 'upgrade'. Cheers and bon voyage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We upgraded our drink package on our upcoming Med. cruise when they were having 30% off. It was a fantastic deal in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasset Posted August 29, 2019 #12 Share Posted August 29, 2019 My Cruise Planner offers the upgrade to premium for $12. Buying premium outright is discounted by 20%. I called Captain's Club to check on discounting the upgrade. They said that as a rule the upgrade is not discounted, but occasionally selected cruises offer the discount on the upgrade. My Infinity cruise is not one of them. In checking he said that several Constellation cruises are offering the discount on the upgrade now.

deliver42 Posted August 30, 2019 #13 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I called the last time they had the sale, and got the sail price from Classic to Premium on the Equinox for this December. I paid up front for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
