Election Happy Hours from Royal Caribbean and Celebrity!

If you're as tired of all the political commercials and posturing, an Election Happy Hour from Celebrity and Royal Caribbean sounds like just the ticket!

(But as an aside, next election, I want smart chips in our TVs so that, if we've voted early, we no longer have to be subject to all the political advertising!)

Want a break from the election on Tuesday? Then Royal Caribbean is bringing a bumper crop of Happy Hour specials to you! An extremely long list of sailings, mostly in November and early December, where you can save enough to make the memories of all the negative adds fade a bit into the background. For my solo occupancy clients, they're even being unusually generous in reducing the single supplement for this event. Check out all the savings at Royal Caribbean November 4 Happy Hour Specials


For Celebrity, they've decided to run a 3-day post-election sale from Wednesday, November 5 through Friday, November 7. Building on the popularity of the past weeks' second passenger at half price specials, they're putting almost all the January and February sailings to Australia/New Zealand, South America, Panama Canal and Caribbean on sale!

Perfect timing to get away post-holiday and when the winter doldrums set in. Are you wanting a winter vacation on Celebrity? This sale is for you!

During this sale, on the applicable sailings, you'll receive 50% off the base fare of the second passenger in your stateroom! Excluded sailings are Celebrity Solstice; Celebrity Xpedition; Celebrity Mercury sailing 2/28/09; and Celebrity Century sailing 1/8/09 and 1/22/09.

If you're interested in any of these specials, as always just call or email me to get your custom quote. Toll free is 888-SAIL-123 (888-724-5123) and email is amber@cruiseresource.com.

In the meantime, hope you have a good weekend filled with something OTHER than last-minute electioneering. While I've spent a good portion of my life as a political consultant, like you, I'm ready for this election to be over and to go CRUISING again!

Oh yes, speaking of which, we do still have a bit of room on the 2-night Celebrity Solstice Preview Charter on November 21. Want to join me onboard?

Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Week-Long Happy Hours!

Week-long Happy Hours aren't anything new for Royal Caribbean and Celebrity. After all, that's what Celebrity has done the past two weeks. What is unusual this week is that not only is Celebrity continuing their 50% off second passenger Happy Hours (new sailings for next week), but Royal Caribbean's week-long event features Holiday sailings, which are rarely put on Happy Hour, and almost never this early while you still have a chance to obtain semi-decent airfare.

The fares are for both Thanksgiving and Christmas/Hanukkah/New Year's sailings, which are typically some of the most expensive time periods of the year. In addition to traditional 7-night sailings, there are also some shorter or longer offerings as well.

These are bound to prove quite popular, so let me know if you're interested in any of the offers! While this is a sign of economic fears, it's also your chance to give your family a holiday vacation you didn't anticipate. What a great gift!

Celebrity and Royal Caribbean Happy Hours!

Since my newsletters are a bit missing right now until I can find a new marketing assistant, I've been at a loss on how to get you the information on such things as the Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Happy Hours. A regular reader of this blog and my newsletters suggested I upload them and post them here. What a great idea!

So when I'm in town, each week either late on Thursdays or on Fridays, I'll post the next week's Happy Hour specials!

For my solo occupancy readers, do know that the prices listed are double occupancy. But scroll down on the sailing in which you're interested, and at the bottom, it lists the applicable single supplement. For example, on this week's Royal Caribbean Happy Hour, the Legend of the Seas' 13-night sailing on 10/5 is at a 150% supplement! You match the reduced supplements with the lowered fares, and it's often a terrific combination.

Do know that the prices listed are for cruise fare and port charges. Taxes and fuel supplement are still additional.

Hopefully this will work to get the information out to you each week in a timely manner, and we'll figure out a way to get the newsletter back with all the specials. But continue to watch here for other specials, both for double and single occupancy.
