booking on ship....

[LynandBill]

When you book a cruise on the ship how much money must you put down for a 7 night and for 11 night cruises? Also, how much shipboard credit for each?

 

Thanks

if you are booking a specific cruise rather than one to be named later, it requires full deposit, sbc depends on cost of cruise, not lenght

If you book the room on board the deposit is the same as a normal reservation - $900/cabin. You receive an on-board credit which varies depending on the cruise fare per stateroom:

Under $2,500 = $50

$2,500 to $3,999 = $100

$4,000 to $5,999 = $150

$6,000 to $7,499 = $200

$7,500+ = $300

 

If you want the credit but don't know what room you're booking yet or don't want to put up the deposit you can pay $200 for a certificate that you can apply against the deposit on a future cruise after you get home and still get the on-board credit on the future cruise.

I'm mystified by this thread. We haven't cruised in several years, and I don't understand onboard credit. We're headed to Alaska on a 14-day cruise on the Millenium. Is onboard credit automatically provided by Celebrity, or is it granted as a perk by our TA. There is nothing on our voucher that mentions it. Could someone please clarify?

Celebrity has a promotion while on board one cruise, that if you book another future cruise, or buy the certificate I mentioned to be applied to a future cruise, then you will get a specified on-board credit on that future cruise. So if you did not book your upcoming cruise while on a prior cruise this thread does not apply to credit you might otherwise receive on your upcoming cruise.

did you know you could get a credit by buying stock in RCCL? You buy 100 shares and get a credit corresponding to the length of your cruise. You can later sell the stock--or hang onto it because you get the credit EACH time you sail one of their ships.

Thanks, Lsimon, for your clarification.
