Memorial Day Sale - Worth checking out!!

[Boscodog]

I was able to save $649 and add an additional $400 OBC on our August 2024 Iceland cruise.  It is definitely worth checking your booking for savings too.

I think you are the 6th one to start a new thread about the sale which started on Wednesday.

Sorry I didn’t  see any of the other threads .

Appreciate the posting!  Glad you were able to save.  I did as well.

Glad to know people are saving on cruise fare. After Celebrity raised the prices on the flash sale items in the cruise planner, I wondered if they did the same on cruise fares. I’m glad you found some savings. I may need to take a look at our Alaska sailing for next year.

They definitely did this - I was planning on pre-purchasing a laundry bag for my cruise and until this 'sale' happened, it was priced at $57 (AUD) with an 11% discount. Now, with the 20% discount, it is priced at $69!  I thought my memory was going, but my notes don't lie.  Now I don't know whether to jump on the special, or just leave it and hope the price goes back down again before my cruise...

You can purchase it at the current discounted price and if the price were to drop even lower in the future, you can cancel it and rebook. That's the time honored tradition here.

The OP saved on cruise fare, and makes a good point to check your booking itself and not just add-ons.

I can't reprice my booked cruises 2 has a better price/promotion but cabin category (SV)  it's SOLD OUT.

I appreciate seeing new threads as I don’t go back and read everything or search for specifics

Thanks for the heads up. Looks like our bookings we already made are still less than the current sales.

I'd been itching to get back on a cruise and so had my sister, so when I looked before the sale, the price of the cruise we wanted was about $1200 higher.  Glad we waited to get the cruise and cabins we wanted at a savings!  Now our boyfriends can experience their first cruise with us.

I agree. The CC mod squad will decide if threads need to be merged or deleted.

Mods generally only merge IF brought to their attention by the “report a post” feature. At least that’s been my experience over the years here…

 

I prefer all posts on a subject such as this one on a single thread, rather than having to comb  through several to get all the tidbits of info and experiences. BUT, that’s the nature of the beast in the wonderful world of message boards!

Where are you looking  for the sale prices?  Celebrity or another TA website?

I looked on Celebrity website.  I also double checked the price on one of the big box TA websites. 

Not sure if sale is still on but worth checking.

No more Memorial day sale now Spring into Summer Sale, whatever it's the same without the extra $50 OBC

[thorntor]

Saved $92 on four night dining package. 😁

I saved some money on two excursions last week…I appreciate the heads up. 

[davekathy]

No savings on our two future cruises but thanks to @Boscodog for starting this thread as it prompted me to check out our future Princess cruise. Saved a nice chuck of change for that cruise.  🤑

Until this weekend when they add the $50 OBC back like they have been doing for the last 6 months.

But sometimes a new thread has a new piece of info. People stop looking at same-old same-old. Anyone who would look at a voluminous thread will not be out any energy reading through 100 words again.

They have finally updated the beverage prices back to 50% off the original.  Also Premium wi-fi is now cheaper than basic.

Thanks for the info.  Checked all the items I booked and now the premium wifi is cheaper than when I bought it during the "sale" so was able to save a bit.

During last weekends Flash Sale all my future Shore Excursions (6 cruises) were discounted 35% versus the 15% discount when I originally booked them!

   When I tried to rebook them at the bigger discount Celebrities  computer system would not allow it.

   I called and was told the 35% discount was Only for New Cruise Booking guests!

 Then Monday Night I received an Email that the sale was being extended for another 24 hours.

   I went back and looked at my Many Shore Excursions and found the No Rebooking rule was Gone!

 By rebooking almost all (some were sold out) of my original bookings at the larger discount the savings amounted to thousands of dollars.
