Rare Chris Posted January 26 #1 Share Posted January 26 I just received an email about booking pre hotel stay with a celebrity partner hotel. The prices are very competitive. Any downside to using this service? thanks Christine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted January 26 #2 Share Posted January 26 You don’t say where the port is, but make sure the prices quoted are per room, not per person. EM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any downside to using this service? thanks Christine To me the only downside to booking your hotel through Celebrity is that you will not typically receive any award points from that hotel's loyalty program. That is not a deal breaker for many people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted January 26 #5 Share Posted January 26 Are you sure that the prices really are competitive. Celebrity charges per person, and most hotels charge per room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked with the hotel...it was a better price but may be due to the stay date. If you book with Celebrity do you have the same refundable/cancellation options? Is it payable at the time of the cruise final payment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it payable at the time of the cruise final payment? You MAY have both refundable and non-refundable options. On Hotels by X, you enter your trip details, it will show hotels, once you click on the hotel you want you select the room you want and it will tell you if it's refundable or not. Be sure that X Hotels can be cheaper but be sure you know if the hotel charges a resort fee and if that's included with X Hotels and which non-X Hotel booking site Hotels by X CAN be cheaper so it's important to shop around; if one is okay with non-refundable Hotwire is often the cheapest. With Hotwire, you pick the neighborhood and hotel star level then it will display pricing yet you can USUALLY match up the reviews to see what hotel you get before purchasing. In this example, all you have to do is match up the number of reviews which is 1,425 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted January 26 #12 Share Posted January 26 Generally speaking, it's per room. Yet there could be MINOR room rate differences between a room with one bed for a couple and a room with two beds for a couple plus their children. Also, some countries hotels may charge a per-person tax but again this is a MINOR difference, not double the price 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
