Cruisingirl2012 Posted December 22, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I read on another forum that all inclusive was no longer available? How true is this? We booked last week and it was still available, what i noticed is that it was not an option on the online booking but we called and there was no problem. Anybody know more?

jelayne Posted December 22, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 22, 2022 It is showing on the sailings I just checked. There seemed to be a computer glitch a week or so ago and AI disappeared as a option but that was corrected. To see the AI price you have to go through the booking process past the point if selecting a cabin, then you see th. price 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Oceansaway17 Posted December 22, 2022 #4 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I for one am glad they give you an option. I am not an alcoholic drinker nor do I wish to use WIFI internet. Just want the ship, food, shows, and islands. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkWiltonM Posted December 22, 2022 #5 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I am so glad they've gone back to giving us the option for Cruise Only or Always Included. For those of us who don't drink alcohol, there's no reason to pay for AI. The benefits other than the drinks package don't justify the increased cost.

davekathy Posted December 22, 2022 #6 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I'd like to see Celebrity go back to the offer before (I think it was called good, better or best) the AI where you good choose, two, three or all four selections. CBP, gratuities, OBC and Wi-Fi. We always selected CBP, OBC and gratuities. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When AI was first announced it seemed like it was a direct response to land based AI resorts not to mention they received a huge marketing buzz for media calling it an "all inclusive cruise line" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish we had OBC and not the Wi-Fi option. Useless for us as we get the 180 minutes if CC internet plus we stay disconnected while cruising.

It includes much more than alcohol..coffee, bottled water, soda etc can add up. Room grats too..that said, do the math, everyone knows pretty how much they spend on a cruise on those items.

deliver42 Posted December 22, 2022 #12 Share Posted December 22, 2022 When we booked the Reflection on the Beyond, we got the All IN. When we got home, I called Celebrity to upgrade the drink part to Premium with my Elite discount. Had no problem with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamer321 Posted December 23, 2022 #18 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Book the cruise you want now with a refundable deposit and if a better offer comes along switch to that. Or save a few bucks, book a non-refundable deposit and if a better deal come along, switch to that and pay the $100 per person change fee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you didn’t have to pay the $100 if you booked a NRD and the price dropped/better deal for the same reservation came along. Have I got that wrong?

I was just doing some mock bookings on some 2024/2025 cruises and found, by default, they only offer the nonrefundable deposit option, which did not include the AI perks nor offered an option to add them. However, for whatever reason which I cannot seem to reproduce yet on some of those mock bookings, I was given the option to click on a link to book the cruise with the more costly refundable deposit option. When I selected it, the All Included perks by default were added to my booking summary. Not sure if that means the AI perks are not available any longer with NRD bookings, but thought it was interesting. In the past that clickable option was always available.

wrk2cruise Posted December 25, 2022 #25 Share Posted December 25, 2022 I found it to be acting funny as well. Sometimes with the cruise only option sometimes no options. I found that putting anything in the "See if you qualify for offers" seemed to cause some of the weird behaviors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
