Why Should You Choose Celebrity Cruises?



On the gorgeous Celebrity ships which epitomize Modern Luxury, you can expect outstanding dining, anticipatory service and palatial spas. 

For sophisticated adults with gourmet palates who appreciate subtle nuances of dishes served with loving care in an upscale dining environment nightly, Celebrity is an obvious choice, but Celebrity also does a wonderful job with families who enjoy the finer things in life. 

Celebrity has recently stepped up efforts to reach out to families, with the exciting development of an enhancement for their popular 123 Go! promotion in effect until February 28, 2014.

As during last year's 123 Go!, first and second guests enjoy their choice of either complimentary gratuities, Classic Drink Package or onboard credit, with European cruises including a choice of two of those great amenities.

This year, Celebrity welcomes families by offering third and fourth guests two great amenities.

They receive the Classic Non-Alcoholic Beverage Package, valued at $16.10 per person per day. That means they never have to come to mom and dad to ask for a Coke.

They each get 38 minutes of internet time of their own, too. It's not enough time for them to waste their incredible vacation online, but it gives them a chance to tweet about their trip every few of days or quickly check facebook now and then.

So, in addition to an upscale large cruise ship experience for essentially the same price as mainstream cruises, right now you can look at your final bill at the end of the cruise and see these totals:

Gratuities for hard working room stewards and wait staff for Passengers 1 and 2: $0.00

Classic beer, wine and well drinks for passengers 1 and 2: $0.00

Sodas for kids: $0.00

Internet charge for 38 minutes of tweets and facebook time: $0.00

If you're someone who doesn't cruise because your bar tab is greater than the price of the cruise, this promo is obviously for you, but even if you simply enjoy several sodas a day, this would be the right configuration.

However, if you are someone who is fine with standard complimentary offerings like water, coffee, juice and milk, you can opt for free onboard credit instead of the beverage package, with $100 for 3 to 5 night cruises, $200 for 6 to 9 night cruises, and $300 for all cruises 10 nights and longer.

Fine print: the choice of two amenities for first and second guests under 1,2, 3 Go! applies only in Europe, with the choice of one of the three for other destinations, and you must book in an ocean view category or higher.

If the idea of getting a bit more dressed up than board shorts and tee shirts doesn't scare you off, then you should consider Celebrity Cruises. 

But don't wait too long.  It's time to 1,2, 3 Go!

Better service leads to better trips!
