Jimbo59 Posted August 10, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 10, 2022 The last time I sailed on Celebrity (three years ago) they offered discounts on the speciality restaurants while on-board. Does Celebrity still offer discounts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Pennstatedj Posted August 10, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 10, 2022 First night only on board. After that it depends on demand on that cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Celebrity still offer discounts? Depends on the ship. On our Apex cruise, there were no discounts available. On Equinox, there was a first night discount of 30% and good discounts on port days. Times may not suit you though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted August 10, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Only discount beyond the 1st night on our sailings were $5 and only on Roof Top Grill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrk2cruise Posted August 10, 2022 #5 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Celebrity has come out of covid holding strong on their pricing across the board. Latest quarterly reports from the 3 major cruise corporations are reporting onboard pp spend up 30% over 2019. Good for the corporation if they can continue to fill the venues.

jelayne Posted August 10, 2022 #6 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Our last cruise there were shortages of crew and the specialty restaurants were not booking to full capacity as they didn't have staff to support a fully booked restaurant. Eden ran at 50%, That was April so maybe crew shortages are improving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. B. Posted August 10, 2022 #7 Share Posted August 10, 2022 We have done 6 X cruises since June 2021 and Never saw any onboard Specialty Dining Discounts offered. I always book a multi night package pre cruise. I once won the bean bag toss activity, and the prize was a Deck of Cards and a Free lunch in the Ocean View Cafe! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D C Posted August 11, 2022 #8 Share Posted August 11, 2022 We've negotiated discounts for a sizeable group of us, but according to their availability of course. Otherwise, I've not seen discounts offered onboard in the 3 post-covid sailings we've been on, aside from the first night. It will be interesting to see how they do with their ~50% price increases for specialty dining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murano went from $50pp to $59pp, Eden from $55 to $64.90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About a $20 increase on a $45 meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually today there is a slight discount taking the total with discount and gratuity to $99.98 for 2. Thats isn’t the 1st night discount price either.

Our planner didn't mention the added gratuity until check-out time, and then subtly added it as you would see tax added to an online order. Like they were hoping we wouldn't notice. No way are we paying $130 for a mid-cruise Tuscan dinner, or over $140 for le Petite Chef. You've gone insane, Celebrity! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted August 12, 2022 #14 Share Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) That’s interesting, we have 3 cruises on ships with Tuscan and all have the price with gratuity at $55, personally not a big Tuscan fan so will only go if I have OBC and no Murano. So how much is Murano in your CP. It is $59 with gratuity in ours. Edited August 12, 2022 by jelayne Added question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Tuscan and le Petite Chef which is $60pp, I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1st night discounted rate is $43.48, but that has been sold out for as long as I've been checking.

dreamer321 Posted August 13, 2022 #19 Share Posted August 13, 2022 They are offering pre-cruise dining discounts on my Jan. 2023 cruise but when you look at the prices that's because they are raising the regular price on the specialty restaurants. For example, Eden has been $55 on Edge and Apex but they are now pricing it at $60 on Beyond but then offering a pre-cruise price of $54.99. Le Petit Chef is regularly $55 on Apex but is now regularly priced at $60 on Beyond. They will give you an 8% pre cruise discount to bring the price down to $54.99. All the prices don't include the 18% gratuity added to the final price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickey89 Posted August 13, 2022 #20 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Onboard Credit offered by Celebrity seldom was above $200, nowadays they are offering $800. They have to recover it somehow........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barbarapga Posted August 13, 2022 #23 Share Posted August 13, 2022 When I travel solo, I purchase the dining package for daily use. My daughter doesn’t feel the need. Thought I could get package (using X cc & Elite discount). We could go to specialty and both would be “happy” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know that you could purchase a package for her if you had her confirmation number (you can "add a guest" when selecting guests on the cruise planner). That said, I am not aware of any loyalty discount on dining packages. I know E+ gets a discount on the cover charge for specialty dining, but does that apply to packages?
