    The thing that really decided us was that we had a very similar cruise booked with Celebrity for late June, and we had to cancel due to family illness. Fortunately we had booked with a US TA and we had our deposit returned in full within 48 hours. That cruise was costing the same as this one is but then we had an inside (now it is balcony) and no perks, and we would have paid tips. So, by cancelling and re booking we have got a really great deal.

    Hope you manage to sort your booking out. Quickly!!

    Would you pm the email for Karen? If I can pester hubby in the morning there is still a chance.

    My date doesn't qualify for all 3 of the 123 Go but 2 of them and 2 free excursions. I think it is tremendous value. My only reservation is DD would probably prefer Carnival, RCCL or NCL. But can't get near a deal like this on them.

    ............................. $900 OBC, just checking out now how it will be spent.

    ..........a good way to use that obc is to book the Unlimited Dining Package, only available on the first day onboard. It costs $29pp/day then you will able to eat in the 5star restaurants every night. Sheer indulgence, it would be ideal to combine with the free drinks you have. It would be a definite cruise to remember.

    We are not on either of the ships this applies to. We got all 3 of the 123 promotion offers, I think with this deal you get 2 plus the shore excursions.

    Good luck with your booking.
  • Hey folks

    Just been looking at all the usual haunts in search of a good deal and apart from the celebrity 123 deal I can't seem to find anything half decent (except msc and costa).

    Compared to last year there were quite a few deals going especially in may and some in June....as pointed out here!

    Is there any reason for the lack of deals as I thought there would be more deals as the yanks aren't booking like they have been in previous years?

    You aren't looking in the right places, there is a price war at the moment. Check out cruisecritics and many more, agree the Celebrity 123Go deal is unlikely to be bettered although - Try HAL Norwegian Fiords £1699 down to £399
