Must have just missed the flash sale that put it at $9.59 and they were in the process of changing it. Oh well. Black Friday is coming. I can wait.

kiwichick62 Posted October 26, 2023 #127 Share Posted October 26, 2023 It has gone back up again in my planner too. Originally - 5% off Yesterday - 15% off (what I first paid then cancelled.) This morning - 53.3% off (what I actually paid) This afternoon - 33.33% off. Fat fingers in the IT department? 🤷♂️ 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariettte Posted October 26, 2023 #128 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Same! so glad I got it when I did- though it's still not showing in my cruise planner and no confirming email. I rang Celebrity and they assure me it's all good... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMW5060 Posted October 26, 2023 #129 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I checked my 4/27 sailing on Beyond on my phone and it showed $6.99 when I logged into my account. Went to get card to book and when I went to pay, it went up to $9.99! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare theopup Posted October 26, 2023 #130 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I was able to upgrade my 2 upcoming cruises at the 53.3% discount. Very happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustyman Posted October 26, 2023 #131 Share Posted October 26, 2023 We’ll this is good news from Celebrity and whatever the reason they are to be applauded for bringing the upgrade to an affordable price. we have just upgraded 2 of 3 B2 B2 B cruises as the upgrade is £9.87/day. This was double that price only a few days ago. For some reason our middle sailing is still >£14/day so we’ve left that at Classic. A big thanks to the OP for highlighting the price drop. Now if food improves we’ll be on these cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me cynical but I have a sneaking suspicion that they are getting ready for a third tier of drink packages. I hope I’m wrong. I would be surprised if they added the complication of a third tier. If anything, I would suspect they bring the beverage package more in line with RCI and reduce it to just one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Captain-John Posted October 26, 2023 #134 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I've locked in at 53% discount just now. Earlier, it wasn't as much as that. It seems to be fluctuating all the time. Well, hopefully I've locked in and they don't retract it after the fact! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdcelebrity Posted October 26, 2023 #135 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Drink package upgrade is now $9.99 (plus gratuities) as of this morning. Oops, just checked (11:17 Eastern Time), and it is back to $6.99 (plus gratuities). I wonder if they are trying to make the Standard and Premium packages closer is cost. The difference is now $12 (plus gratuities). I hope they don't change the max. limits on the Premium package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweep2907 Posted October 26, 2023 #136 Share Posted October 26, 2023 We got 33% this morning when saw fb post as was shocked as it a TA on edge class ship with 10 sea days. Never seen more than 5% in UK but see it was over 50% off last night so interesting how quickly it changed. £118pp each for 12 night cruise is bargain and happy with that.

Booked upgrade yesterday for 9.69 CDN Regular price 20.54 (although a few weeks ago was around $26) This morning was up to 13.69 Now back down to 9.65 Not sure what is going on lol but take advantage if you can!!

Kelownadon Posted October 26, 2023 #139 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Just upgraded our Classic package on our transatlantic cruise for $6.99. Thank you cruisecritic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerunner Posted October 26, 2023 #140 Share Posted October 26, 2023 So about 630 last night it was 6.99 then went up to 9.99 around 9 when I looked again. Was at the 9.99 this morning for my TA next year and now it switched again to 6.99. So are we looking at dynamic pricing that switches every cpl hours?

scrapcreator Posted October 26, 2023 #141 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Yes! If you missed out, keep checking. Our offer has been all over the place but I managed to get the upgrade yesterday for $6.99 + gratuity before it went up to $9.99 later in the day. Now it is back down. Just keep checking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare desibee Posted October 26, 2023 #142 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Thanks everyone! I checked again after work today and it was back down to $9.56 CAD for me. Snapped it up quick! 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckck Posted October 26, 2023 #143 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I’m hoping the drink packages go on sale (not just the upgrade). Currently, not cost effective for how much we would use it. The convenience is fantastic, though, so here’s hoping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Softball20 Posted October 27, 2023 #144 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Keep it also covers specialty coffees, non-alcoholic frozen/specialty drinks, sodas and bottled water. So even if you're not particularly big drinkers - at the price per drink, about 6 - 8 is the break even, there's a lot of other options to chose from and sooooo convenient not to have to sign for a drink each time.

Rare bbtondo Posted October 27, 2023 #147 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Got the $6.99 upgrade. Woo Hoo! Now, waiting for a good sale on excursions.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 81Zoomie Posted October 28, 2023 #148 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I find it interesting that the per day price of the upgrade varies on different cruises. Some it’s $20, some 18.99, etc. It is not a consistent price per day across the fleet or cruises. I finally went with the $53% off of the going rate. Figure I can always cancel and repurchase if there is a better Black Friday deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
