Ought To Be Cruising Posted January 22, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2020 On Celebrity a new promotion starts tomorrow. I can't decide to wait and see if it is a better deal. Does anyone have an insight of the new promotions?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted January 22, 2020 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Book now (unless if after final payment) and if a better deal tomorrow call in and have them upgrade your reservation with the new promotion or price if better than you have. U.S. bookings only. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisestitch Posted January 22, 2020 #4 Share Posted January 22, 2020 It isn’t so easy, and sometimes is impossible, for passengers in other countries to upgrade or cancel and rebook. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many countries have non-refundable bookings and often disallow any price matching after booking. In the U.S. we can cancel and price adjust without penalty up to final payment date. Since the OP did not post their location in the profile I thought it was prudent to point out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspected that might have been what you were trying to indicate, but it's not accurate to state "U.S. bookings only". Canadian bookings, for example, are treated the same as U.S. bookings. Maybe "Doesn't apply to booking made in all countries" instead of "U.S. bookings only"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't sure about Canada. I read often of UK and Australian bookings not being able to to do the same. Wonder if Mexico and Central American are the same as the U.S. and then we could say North American Bookings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, yet many of us do not know this and as such use the 'qualifier' U.S. bookings only. I, personally, would not have really known that all of North America (NA) was included in this policy and almost always qualify it as U.S. unless a poster, like yourself, provided an update. bon voyage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrk2cruise Posted January 22, 2020 #9 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Here is what was posted awhile back regarding "extra" promos being run over Wave Season. It has been 100% accurate so far. CEL_2020_ItsAllIncluded_DoubleSavings.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zauberflote Posted January 22, 2020 #10 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I have just booked yesterday and will be curious to see the new promotion. Meanwhile, I can't see the document without some further sign-in. Apparently being signed in to Tapatalk is not signing in to Tapatalk? Perhaps it's a private Google Doc?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted January 22, 2020 #11 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Wow...no problem here opening the PDF using a PC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMLAalum Posted January 22, 2020 #12 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Thanks for the pdf link. I've been trying to reach friends aboard the Equinox who booked for them and us on Sunday, to ask if they'd book for DBiL/DSiL before the sale expires. So far no response from the cruisers, but if they can't be reached, only the Onboard booking credit will be lost, and DBiL/DSiL can wait until the 30th for the same sale!

zauberflote Posted January 22, 2020 #13 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I went via web just now and it opened gloriously right up-- but is it going to be enough to convince Mr ZF that he wants to cruise two years in a row (21/22).....[emoji6]Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrk2cruise Posted January 23, 2020 #16 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I guess it went up $400 so you could get "Double Savings"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyinpa Posted January 23, 2020 #17 Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) whew got lucky, price went back down today so i will save 800 today instead of measly 400 yesterday. they always say prices go up so they can mark them down and this is 100% proof all sales are scams. never believe any countdown clocks. same on NCL too. actually they took away one perk. so the price truly went up 300 or more Edited January 23, 2020 by luckyinpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo1953 Posted January 23, 2020 #18 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Today's sale will either save us $800 or allow a move up to Concierge for $100 p/p and keep all four (4) perks, either scenario! We will lose $150 in OBC, too. A quick question for the sage 'upgraders' with X, will future upgrade ability be based on my original fare basis or the 'up graded' fare basis were I to upgrade today and next month a lower fare appears for next cabin (or two) levels up, become within a comfortable pricing range? bon voyage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted January 23, 2020 #19 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Bo - Your future up gradable fare will be based off of the current "up graded" bases fare and promotion (the new fare you get today). In other word when you upgrade, you are re-ticket and that becomes your new fare basis. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrk2cruise Posted January 23, 2020 #23 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Only 2 of my 12 future bookings were able to save with this promo. 1 booked a couple of weeks ago and the other booked when the 2021 Europe sailings opened. Both were NRD 1 Perk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRBlizz Posted January 23, 2020 #24 Share Posted January 23, 2020 So I (apparently unwisely) booked and made final payment on a cruise 80 days out two days ago. Now same cabin class is $400pp less, plus more perks. Nothing they will do, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So may be able to get an upgrade with more perks for minimal upcharge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
