Rare KKB Posted September 29, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I booked a solo cruise for next summer. When I booked, it shows an insane rate for AI...basically appears to charge for 2 people. When I called the CS rep said that is what I would have to pay to add AI. This seems insane to me that I cannot add AI for just me since I am traveling solo. Anyone have experience with this? (seeing double AI for solo but being able to add it when calling?) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremiah1212 Posted September 29, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Wait until Wednesday. The All Included changes will benefit solos a bit. It also shifts to 40% off every guest rather than 75% off the second guest which may work in a solos favor as well. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks From past experience as a solo, it was more cost effective to just purchase beverage package and wifi individually when on board. You should be able to add the gratuities beforehand, but if not, again, pay on board. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tyler414 Posted September 29, 2023 #4 Share Posted September 29, 2023 (edited) I also booked a solo for next summer in SS veranda on an E-class. I took the cruise only option with refundable deposit, as the AI was over $2500 more, plus almost $700 to make it refundable. Makes zero sense to do that when Premium Drink pkg is about $650ish and WIFI is $180ish for the week. My plan is to wait to add beverage and WIFI during the hopeful black Friday sale and save even more!!!

njguy_south Posted September 29, 2023 #5 Share Posted September 29, 2023 When booking with a TA that price is adjusted (at least it was 3 times for me). It is a glitch on the Celebrity site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Totally agree. I have had experience of this. It is blatant discrimination against solo travellers. The executive office gave me a load of waffle when challenged, as usual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giraffes Posted September 30, 2023 #8 Share Posted September 30, 2023 I am a frequent solo sailor and it is so frustrating having to always pay double occupancy. One way around it is to sail E class in a solo IV. Right now I am patiently waiting for the current promotion to expire to see if they might have a single supplement promo. 🤞🏼 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njguy_south Posted October 4, 2023 #10 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Purchase the lower price. Then once you are booked, you can book drinks and wifi (usually at a cheaper price). I went through this with Celebrity and my TA. It is a glitch in their reservation system that they cannot seem to fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disgusting. I booked the cruise rate only in a situation like this, It will be half that to add premium drinks and premium WIFI and even less when a flash sale happens....
