pbrady Posted July 18, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Can anyone tell me if Celebrity has any promotions when booking on board? It use to be a little extra OBC but just curious if that is gone. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFMilesJunkie Posted July 18, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 18, 2022 The current promo is $100 deposit per person and you can book the exact cruise you want on board or have 90 days to choose your cruise. The OBC ranges from $50-$500 depending on length of cruise and cabin category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one area that has not changed in over 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a bottle of wine or a small gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbrady Posted July 18, 2022 Author #5 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Thanks to all who responded. I'll wait to book until on board. The extra on board credit is just nice to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzzy55 Posted July 19, 2022 #8 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Also you do not pay any additional until final payment due date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecruisin Posted July 20, 2022 #9 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Make sure you double check the online price after booking onboad. We rec'd the OBC and when we got home the price was $300 pp cheaper and they adjusted the price without having to pay any additional down payment.

wrk2cruise Posted July 20, 2022 #10 Share Posted July 20, 2022 The only time i've had to increase the deposit when repricing an onboard booking is if the new rate is a group rate from the TA. Celebrity requires full deposit amounts for group booking rates regardless of the TA with the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerelmx Posted July 20, 2022 #11 Share Posted July 20, 2022 How does the BOOK LATER work, especially if you don't know the ship and the length of the future cruise. How is the ship assigned so that there are no penalties for changing it? How is extra OBC assigned if the duration of the future cruise is not known? I have many doubts that I will have to ask when I am on board, or can someone from the forum help me? I want to go to Europe in 2024 (Norwegian Fjords and/or Scandinavia and/or the British Isles) maybe it will be a B2B2B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't make a decision, it expires and your deposit is returned. When you do book, you then make a decision on whether the booking has refundable or non-refundable deposit. Here is a link to to the form itself with screenshots of it pasted below: Edited July 20, 2022 by mahdnc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrk2cruise Posted July 20, 2022 #13 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I believe after the 90 days you just lose the OBC but the deposit remains. To me the only advantage of these is the unlimited name changes so you can book one of these and transfer to friends/family once you get home. To me just booking a refundable placeholder sailing as far out in the future makes more sense to me. Then you can select sailing at any time (until final payment date way in the future). At the time you select the sailing of course it will be at prevailing prices but at that time you can change to NRD if you desire. The book onboard bonus OBC will be recalculated for the new sailing. If doing placeholder just make sure to not do NRD as you can never change a NRD to a refundable deposit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michidoeme Posted July 20, 2022 #14 Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) Was very surprised being told today by Celebrity via TA that the Book Later Certificate I bought on board was not combinable with the Special they have on right now (30% off, OBC, flights offered until tonight). Never heard that there was a limited use to these certificates. Has anybody experienced this yet ? Edited July 20, 2022 by Michidoeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrk2cruise Posted July 20, 2022 #15 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I think your TA got wrong information. It always says combinable with one other offer. The current promo would be that offer. Onboard OBC is combinable with everything. Make them escalate to resolutions department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
