If this sounds perfect for your next cruise adventure, check out our top ten tips before you book with Celebrity to help you get the most for your money.
Where and when
By carefully combining the answers to these two questions, you're most likely to get the best deal. Different locations have different peak times. Sailing at the beginning or end of these seasons is your best way to ensure a cheaper holiday. So avoid the crowds and crazy prices by heading to the Caribbean in Autumn or the Mediterranean in Spring.

Best price guarantee
A stand out promise from Celebrity is their willingness to match the lowest rate you find. So if you've found a better fare searching GET.cruises, let Celebrity know and they will honor it (in nearly all cases).
Book flights direct
When booking through Celebrity Cruises, you'll have the option of adding flights. There are numerous benefits to this: you can exchange your flight if your cruise is delayed, they guarantee the best rate and you don't need to pay straight away.
Which room suits?
Celebrity have a range of room types, all with modern touches and comfy beds. Interior and Oceanview rooms are great for bargain options. A step up are the veranda rooms, where you'll have your own outdoor space, perfect if you plan to spend more time relaxing throughout the day. You can also upgrade to a concierge class or AquaClass stateroom. The former give you access to room service and other benefits, whilst the latter are situated next to the spa, with reductions on prices and access to the speciality Blu restaurant.
Splash out on The Retreat
If it's in budget, booking a Retreat suite is such a wonderful treat and the most exclusive option onboard. Just for adults, there are numerous ways they add that extra ‘wow’ to your trip. The rooms have customisable beds for your comfort, welcome gifts and dedicated concierge. Only Retreat cruisers can access the Luminae restaurant and Retreat sundeck, and drinks and WiFi are included in the package. All the Retreat areas are designed by Kelly Hoppen, so expect understated luxury at every turn.

Budget for the extras
Celebrity is good value for money as the quality of ships, entertainment and food are highly rated by its customers. Do just be aware that with the basic package, there are few extras added, so you will need to budget for drinks, WiFi, speciality dining, gratuities, excursions, spa days and many of the activities onboard.
Best to plan ahead
Celebrity are known for their excellent, intimate excursions which truly immerse cruisers in the culture of the surroundings. Due to this, they get booked out quickly, so we highly suggest securing your preferred options far in advance of your holiday.
Freedom to dine your own way
Celebrity offers two types of dining options to cruisers, both included in the package. You can choose the same dining time each night, which will have the benefit of the same waitstaff and dining ‘neighbours’. Alternatively, you can choose the Anytime package and head to dinner between 6 and 9:30pm if you'd prefer the flexibility. Make sure you choose which option you prefer early in the booking process as there are a select number of Anytime passes on a first come, first serve basis.
