That sounds terrific, doesn't it?
I remember a mother and daughter booking an amazing Mediterranean cruise a few
years ago who went with an interior room because of the enormous price difference,
even though they would actually have preferred an ocean view or better room, which
came with amenities like a Beverage Package or $150 per person on board credit
under "Go Big."
Back then, the ads for Celebrity all read "Go Big, Go Better or Go Best," meaning
choose one, two or four perks, depending on the category and price point. This new
promo applies to all categories. It's really not groundbreaking so much as nuanced
change, but it does a nice job of illustrating how cruise lines tend to break up their
offers, though all have differences. In many cases, we can strip away amenities or
make a deposit non-refundable to improve the price.
So, you now have a glimpse into the future with one cruise line.
However, if you have children under the age of 17 who will be sharing a room with
you, then you may prefer to book before this new promo starts. While I can't assure
you of what the price difference may be once the new promo starts, I can say that
currently Celebrity has a true "kids sail free" promo that doesn't apply to only
toddlers in tiaras. It applies to kids 17 and under traveling as in the same room as
3rd and 4th guests.
summer vacation during our Sail Beyond Event and kids'
fares are FREE. Visit Bermuda, the Caribbean, Europe, or
Alaska and SAVE on sailings departing through December
2019. And, first two guests in your stateroom choose two
SO, if you've been thinking about taking a family vacation this summer --- or if
you haven't thought about it yet but that sounds like a great idea --- you may want
to seriously consider booking your dream cruise this weekend.
P.S. AmaWaterways currently has rarely offered FREE AIR for prime summer
cruises! Glide between Amsterdam and Budapest on this full TWO WEEK
CRUISE combining the two most popular river cruise regions, the Rhine and
the Danube!
Prices start at just $6,899 per person for select departures on June 30, July
