NorthStarStateCruiser Posted November 10, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 10, 2022 They posted the flyer for the Black Friday sale on their marketing website. Nothing too special as expected. Same deal they've been running, but extra OBC. https://creative.rccl.com/Sales/Celebrity/General_Info/Flyers/CEL_11_11_22_BlackFriday.pdf 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare bebe08 Posted November 10, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Thanks for posting. Was hoping for reduced deposit. We are looking to book Hawaii for 2024. I hate having to make a full deposit on a cruise so far out. We will likely wait and book onboard during our cruise in early 2023. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare DaKahuna Posted November 10, 2022 #6 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Looks attractive but no rooms currently available in the same category as ours on either of our current booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfinigan94 Posted November 11, 2022 #7 Share Posted November 11, 2022 A cruise I was looking at last week now has gone up exactly $200 in the last few days. Guess where the extra savings and cruise credit is coming from! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrk2cruise Posted November 11, 2022 #8 Share Posted November 11, 2022 To me it looks like just extra OBC. I originally read it to be extra discount plus OBC but the "discount" is the same as what's showing today "Up to $800" for quad stateroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigyn Posted November 11, 2022 #9 Share Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) A cruise I pre-priced yesterday, before the sale, and today, with the sale, is the exact same price, but with an additional $600 of on-board credit since there are three of us sailing.

Extra OBC in addition to inflated prices. Celebrity has the gall to market it as 'Bigger and Better'? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3CanadianBears Posted November 11, 2022 #13 Share Posted November 11, 2022 We booked in October for a May sailing. Today, I went in to check prices on the same cruise, same cabin class - the price has gone up by $1000. Glad we didn't wait for a "sale" to book! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiescentlyfrozen Posted November 11, 2022 #14 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Stupid question - can one switch to this new deal if no other cabins of same class available on their cruise, or is that a no-go? I'm already booked for a cruise next year (through Celebrity directly), and this new deal is showing additional $800 OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHEZMARYLOU Posted November 11, 2022 #15 Share Posted November 11, 2022 The cruise we want to book won't be available until mid December. Too late for the sale and too early for an on board booking on our next cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally no but if booked direct with a Celebrity CVP I'd call them and give it a try. I've heard of a very few cases where it has worked. If you use a TA I don't believe they (like us) can see the current pricing on sold out cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyc12345 Posted November 11, 2022 #17 Share Posted November 11, 2022 The Asia cruise they just opened that I am interested in is both lower in price and has additional OBC. So this sale could be a deal if you are lucky. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if you take the new deal, you would lose any other amenities/packages you had secured before. For example if you had an something like an elevated drink package(which i am not sure they even do anymore) it would be taken off and replaced with whatever the new package includes. Just ask for a reprice for your current room. Never hurtsto ask! Edited November 11, 2022 by Ckirtz3 Typo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our cabin prices out the same under the sale, but with $400 more onboard credit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to rebook our Silhouette cruise for 2024, and will now have an extra $100 in OBC! Now, if I can only figure out how to cancel the original reservation on the Celebrity website... If you booked directly with Celebrity you should be able to go to cruise planner and cancel directly from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
