We told our good friends about it and he signed up for the blue chip club and then for a line of credit and they sent an offer.They got on the same cruise and upgraded to concierge a we booked a couple rooms from each other.I wish we would have done Aqua class but we are all happy with our deal !! This worked for you? My husband and I both got the offer but I would like my daughter to go as well. I was thinking about submitting his form but changing the name to hers, keeping the same email.

Book a cruise for you and your daughter in one stateroom using your offer. Book your husband and another guest in another stateroom using your husband's offer. Or, you could book two cruises with the three of you sharing a stateroom. The offer allows for three additional guests on each invite.

NorthStarStateCruiser Posted August 24, 2022 #253 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I was also surprised to see this offer in my inbox. We've only been on 1 sailing with Celebrity back in June 2019. I think we only used the small promotional freeplay on the cruise, so we're only Pearl. The wife and I are going on another cruise with Celebrity this December, so I asked whether she'd like to go with a friend on this free cruise and I can stay home with the baby and she's totally for it - what a surprise 🙄. However, she didn't receive the email like I did. I decided to call BCC this morning to see what they could do. They said only the person who received the email can apply the offer and must be the primary on the reservation. However, that person doesn't have to sail for the offer to stand (they can no-show and get the port taxes and fees refunded). They initially said that adding a 3rd person to the reservation (my wife's friend) would have to pay full price, but after she added them to the reservation the third person's cruise fare was only $1! We reserved the Feb 4th sailing on Solstice in a sunset veranda for no additional charge for that stateroom. Pretty cool offer. Any previous experience with the primary passenger being a no-show and retaining the comp benefit for the additional passengers? I asked a couple of times and the rep said that shouldn't be a problem. I've heard Royal Caribbean may handle these things differently... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re: the additional passengers, even though the form has space for 4 names, I was told the additional 2 pax would be full price no discounts.

If you pay the casino rate and get a discount, then I understand the perks are included in many cases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my understanding also. I paid $10 per person per day extra to upgrade to Aqua on my free cruise offer, and no perks were included. On one cruise I inquired about, I was told that the $10 upgrade to Aqua was not available, but I could get the casino rate, which I believe was a 60% discount off the usual rate. I believe if I had gone for that much higher rate, then the perks would have been included. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still can't figure out if it is for the whole stateroom on only one person (named in the email). Anyone know? nope you can add up to 3 more people for the same room. We booked and upraged to Aqua cabin, so excited for BLU!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baseball fan Posted August 26, 2022 #273 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I tried for 2 dates on the mexican riviera and both are not available. I may check again but may have to pass on this offer. Bummer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted August 27, 2022 #274 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I’ll say it again; Celebrity’s marketing execs are sure smart to offer this! Look how they went from struggling to fill the Solstice to 11 pages of us all booking offers and some sailings now being unavailable for the casino offer. Sure we aren’t paying for the cruise, but that just means more available for onboard spending! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular bookings made after June 2022 the Cruise only rate is not available on Aqua Class or Retreat. This is when they eliminated the Elevate and Indulge packages as well. Of course comp'ed BCC bookings are a different animal and I believe rarely include perks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
