DEC 15deadline for booking CM New Years Party of the Century

[Kuki]

Due to the current pricing policies... the rates we are currently offering on the CruiseMates New Year's Party of the Century Group Cruise are only valid until Dec. 15

If you've been thinking about this cruise ACT NOW to take advantage of the LOW prices, and the $100/per person deposit!
Here's a link to all the infohttp://www.cruisemates.com/articles/...entury2006.cfm

I'm beginning to feel bad for the Travel Agents.. the cruise line's group restrictive group pricing policies are making their work very difficult.

I understand the cruise lines want to get the higher prices for their cabins, but that's not good news for cruisers.

It is time to get off the fence.

Like Kuki SAID, the cruise industry is getting too Draconian in their group policies. I think that not too far in the future the cruise line's attitude is going to once again get them into trouble.

Well enough of that. Get out the credit card and give Nancy a call at:

1-800-561-0802

You won't regret it!!!!

Take care,
Mike

Like Kuki, the cruise industry is getting too Draconian

So now I'm draconian? I thought I was Canadian.

: Sorry Kuki: Forgot an important verb in that sentence.

Going back now to add the word SAID

Take care,
Mike (Who's wondering if his Freudian slip was showing)

And remember, for $100 per person you can lock in the cheap rate. If for some HORRID reason you find you can't come up with the rest of the money in time, you can cancel before the penalty period.

Can't wait to cruise with my CM buddies....

Kuki,

I'm having a "senior" moment, I guess. I don't see on the Celebrity website where the Balcony Cabins

Category 2A - $706.99 &

Category SV - $746.99

are located! Can you give me a hint?

Guess we need to make up our minds soon !

Thanks,

[Mike M]

Fern:

SV cabins are sold out but they are on the Sports Deck (12). The 2A cabins are on Panorma Deck (8 ). You have to look at the deck plans after May 30, 2006.

Hi Mike,

I looked at the link you provided and the cabins (2A) all look to be "ocean view" (even after May 30). Is a "Deluxe Ocean View" a balcony after May 30? To me, ocean view is not a balcony!

Thanks,

[Kuki]

Celebrity's web site truly isn't up to date and current for the layout after the scheduled rebuild. If you actually followed the process of trying to book a cabin, and IF you clicked on 2A, it will tell you they are 170 Sq. Ft. with a 42 sq. ft. balcony... but even there the listing is for Deluxe Ocean Views.

They are adding 350 balconies to the ship. The plus on the new balconies will also be that they are being built onto the outside of the ship...so cabin won't be smaller after the rebuild.
