FLASH SALE

Celebrity just announced sale with big discounts on Bev Packages, Specialty Dining and Excursions

[Georgia_Peaches]

Is it still 50% off the inflated base price of $149 pp for the premium drinks package?  There was a thread posted by @RichYak on Wednesday detailing this “flash sale” but Celebrity upped their base prices in the middle of the sale.  Just wondering if the IT dept fixed the “error” yet.

I saved over $100 canceling and rebooking my excursions. I recommend double checking what you paid before, though, because not all of the sale prices are actually less. They were for my excursions, though. 😊

I as well cancelled and rebooked my excursions and saved some money.  I also reserved the drink package which I did not originally have.  I definitely saved some money!

Saved a few hundred $ on already booked tours....

 

bon voyage

I was able to save a little over 100 bucks by cancelling and rebooking an excursion and I bought another while I was at it.  
 

at first when I called, the customer service rep.  Tried to convince me not too, warning me that my excursion might be sold out and I could lose it all together.  I followed advice on here and called my TA.  They got it done!  And informed me that there were like 50 seats still left on my excursion.  The first customer service rep. Could easily see that and should have told me.   Yay for TAs!

It seems there isn't an excursion pre-cruise wait list, we cancelled two tours that were sold out and were able to rebook them

If you cancel and rebook when it was paid in OBC, does the OBC come back and if so how long does it take?

They did mine and it was instant.

I did cancel and rebook two excursions, but on the Baltic cruise 1st July I noticed that a number had been significantly increased before the discount was applied making them more expensive than my advance booking

 

Eg  "Day 5 Over the Bridge to Sweden" booked originally at  total for us both £136 .88 

Now at 35% discount £ 196.50

 

So be warned

 

If I have this wrong apologies but, Words fail me !

Just wondering....this wouldn't be considered 'snarky'?  as discussed on another thread....😉.

When I re-booked an excursion, I did a mock booking first to make sure there was 1. a reduction and 2. availability. That was definitely less costly.  However, when checking on dining, pricing had gone up from my original cost.

OBC is immediate, but refresh your screen.  Visa payment refund will take 'a while'.

I cancelled a sold out shorex. The OBC was credited instantly. The two cancelled spots didn't show up for another 10-15 min at which time I rebooked them saving $354. There's always a chance that the spots get taken from you before you can rebook.

Some may consider it to be snarky, some may not, we can only say "search before posting" so many times

[Swordfish1949]

Thanks for the post - we were able to cancel and rebook and saved $200-$300.

I'm assuming the sale is for sailings that are coming up in the near future?  I just booked for March 2025 and the beverage packages only had a 7% savings on them...not much of a savings for me, but I've got plenty of time before I'll book to watch for a better sale.

I cancelled and rebooked on Wednesday - the part on my Visa showed up today.

But...do we have to? What harm do repetitious posts do, especially since the mods can merge them, and no one is required to read them? And especially when the motive is to help, not take advantage of, other CCers?
