Celebrity Cruises - Bermuda R/T from New Jersey, 3rd & 4th passengers free plus free bonus perks!


Wow, first Norwegian Cruise Lines came out with a extra passengers sail free offer and now Celebrity Cruise lines is following suit albeit a much more narrow offering than Norwegian's wide catalog of choices.

Here is the low down:
- Pay for the first two passengers in the cabin and other passengers in the same cabin, up to the max capacity for that cabin can sail free (but everyone does still have to pay for taxes & fees).
- Cruise is one week long (7 nights), Sunday to Sunday.
- Cruise is round trip departing from and returning to Cape Liberty, NJ.
- The free sailings are restricted to the May 10th and May 17th sailings and not all cabin types are available.
- Most other dates have a discount of up to 50% off for additional passengers.  Again, not all cabin types are available.
- A few cabins are "Family Cabins" capable of accommodating a maximum of 5 passengers.  There are only a few of these special cabins on the ship and they do tend to go quickly.  Unsure if the 5th passenger would be free, you'd need to ask the booking agent.
- Gratuities are included free for the first two passengers.  This value comes to $168.00 calculated as $12.00 per person (X2) per day (X7).
- Classic alcoholic drink package is also included free for the first two passengers.  This value comes to $686.00 calculated as $49 per person (X2) per day (x7).
- Free 40 minute internet package for the 3rd and/or 4th guest.  I have to guesstimate the value of this at $25.00.
- Free classic non-alcoholic beverage package included free for the 3rd and/or 4th passengers.  This value is $16.00 per person per day or $112.00 value for the each of the 3rd and 4th passenger.



Celebrity Cruises - 3&4th passengers free plus bonus perks!


That's all well and good, but what is the cheapest deal?

Sail date, May 10-17th, 2015
Round trip from Cape Liberty, NJ
4 passengers total: 2 adults + 2 adults or 2 kids
Inside cabin - no windows, no natural light (good for sleeping in late)

Free gratuities, free classic alcoholic beverage package for first two passengers

Free 40m internet package, free non-alcoholic drink package for 3rd & 4th passengers
$599 each for the first two passengers = $1198
$203.37 taxes & fees for each passenger = $813.48
Total cruise fare for 4 = $2011.48


Average cruise fare per person = $502.87
Per day cost per person = $71.84

$71.84 is a really, really great per day value for meals, snacks, alcoholic beverages, lodging, tips, taxes & fees and entertainment!  :D
