The money isn't stupid. How some spend it is. Spending it well is only one person's individual opinion. Why is it you feel so inclined to comment on every post that doesn't match your opinion? Whether you believe it or not, people who move on could care less whether Celebrity replaces them or not. They just know, that in their opinion, they're spending their money more smartly.

Today I checked a Sept cruise on Silhouette that we booked last June and I was shocked to see that the bottom line, with 2 perks and refundable deposit was $4,000 USD more than we paid with 3 perks. This was for the cabin next door us. I sure hope we get to sail. Yes the prices are going thru the roof. Clearly he has no idea what he is talking about. I encourage as many people as possible to report the "dying" post he sent. I did, hopefully CC will do the right thing. I was banned for 5 days because I mentioned underwear (totally in context with OP) and someone was offended and reported me. Will be waiting to see what CC does about the hopeful dying of people....

JeanieC,Aston Posted November 17, 2020 #86 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Hi Posted this on the All inclusive thread,,,,better here I think.... The cruise I am looking at,Baltic next August on Reflection. The price this morning on ‘Always Included’ is the same price as yesterday,with Grats and WiFi now included. Classic DP was included in yesterday’s price. Then again the price did go up +£500 a few weeks ago. Cant see a big jump in prices with the introduction of Always Included yet!!

Harrylinden Posted November 17, 2020 #88 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I checked the prices against the same cruise I have booked already with everything included and a 500.00 to spend on board and it is 3000.00 MORE minus the OBC! NO THANK YOU! Celebrity is cutting off their noses to spite their faces!!! I personally WON't pay those high prices!! JMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am getting a 14 night cruise on Solstice in 2022 for $1345 per pax or $2689 for 2 adults (including all port fees & taxes), with NO perks. Is that a good deal or what?

Travel agents may still have group bookings without any perks available, but "Always Included" is the new standard booking program with Celebrity and for travel agents non-group bookings. If this should, for some reason, be on Celebrity's website, please share a screenshot of the booking summary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this should, for some reason, be on Celebrity's website, please share a screenshot of the booking summary. You are correct. this price is the best of 10 offers (from 10 different agencies) I received from the bidding site. but then again, I have always benefited from last minute price drops on Celebrity. my best deal was $902 (including all port fees and taxes, excluding gratuities), for 2 adults for a 9 night Cruise in an ocean view on Constellation with 300 OBC included. An absolutely amazing deal and it was a fabulous Cruise! Remember, they need to fill the last few cabins for each and every Cruise and the higher the prices, the more difficult this is going to be. so I think it is best to wait for last minute price drops and bargains, if you are flexible with dates and cabin locations and you don't mind a guarantee cabin Edited November 17, 2020 by drsel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azamara is the more upscale line in the Royal Caribbean family and they're not even luxury IMO. They're a premium line. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
