From time to time, I like to fill people in on specials that the cruise lines are offering. I get these emails regularly, and if I find something of interest, then I will let you know about them. Here is my latest on The CruiseHonk:
This week, Celebrity Cruises is offering incentives on its Alaska sailings. If you book your cruise from January 24-30, 2011, you can receive up to $150 per stateroom in onboard credit to use however you wish. You can use it on shore excursions, at the spa, at the premium restaurants, and at just about anywhere that accepts your card attached to your onboard account.
Go to CelebrityCruises.com to get more details on which sailings are available. They do have some limitations and conditions, like most cruise lines, so it pays to read all of them before booking to make sure you have everything covered. Here are a few of those regulations to spare you some time, courtesy of Celebrity:
"Prices are per person, cruise only on Alaska sailings from May 2011 to Sept 2011, based on double occupancy, in USD, subject to availability and subject to change without notice. Onboard credit Offer is applicable on Alaska sailings from May 2011 to Sept 2011, booked between January 24, 2011 to January 30, 2011. Onboard credit amounts are: 6 Nights plus: $50 per stateroom–inside & ocean view; $100 per stateroom–standard veranda; and $150 per stateroom–CC, Aqua and suites. Onboard credit amount is per stateroom and applied to published full fare rate by Celebrity Cruises within two week after Offer expiration. Onboard credit is not redeemable for cash and any unused amounts will expire at 10pm on the last night of the cruise. Offer is not combinable with any other offer or promotion and may be withdrawn at any time without prior notice. Onboard credit will be applied by Celebrity Cruises prior to the departure date. Double occupancy or higher required. Singles paying 200% qualify for full Savings amount. One Offer per stateroom , new individual bookings only, subject to availability. Government taxes and fees additional. Certain restrictions apply."
Remember, it does pay to use a travel agent when booking travel, even if it isn't a cruise. They don't cost anything additional (they are actually paid by the vendors, not by YOU) and they provide service in times of trouble that websites and low-cost booking engines do not. Also, the referring agency has excellent relationships with the cruise lines that most do not have and can price-match in most cases, or in some cases, beat legitimate prices outright! That being said, if you ever need a great travel agent, look no further than below. I will continue to provide this information on most entries, so do not think that you are seeing things after a lot of entries! Please look below for that information. Bon Voyage!
