I just wanted to inform you that I have just increased your chances for a WBTA by... oh, about 1000% (of course, 0 plus 1000% is still 0 but that would mean splitting hairs, right?).
How? I have booked a TA on Celebrity Eclipse.
Usually, if I do something, something even better pops up.
I order something online? You can be sure, next day it goes on sale. 90% off. Or I get an unexpected gift card for just that store in the mail. Or an email, offering 20% off my next purchase. Or free shipping.
I book a TA on Celebrity? Pay a 10% non-refundable deposit? Of course, three days later I get a newsletter... that they now include a classic drinks package if you book a cruise with them (that was after the UK offer had been available for a few days). New bookings only, of course. Canceling and rebooking (which would have made sense, even losing the deposit) not allowed. Our travel agent's advice? Cancel the newsletter, the offers will even get better. Well. Thanks
[Yes, I am happy with the price we paid for the cabin we picked and I don't need a package that includes alcoholic drinks but still...]
Conclusion?
I assume there will be a WBTA for a great price with a very special and wonderful itinerary on a completely refurbished Magic, you will all be on it and I will be extremely jealous
