Can I book the “cruise-only” (no perks) rate?

Yes, we can book the cruise-only (no perks) rate offered by Celebrity Cruises. However, most of our guests choose a fare that includes perks, as it provides a more complete and seamless group experience.

If you select the cruise-only rate, you will not be able to attend any of our private events that include bar service. The cruise line charges us $25 per person, per hour for bar service at private events for any guests without the beverage package, which is why access is limited to guests with a beverage package.

That said, you’ll still be able to take advantage of many of the benefits of traveling with our group, including:

  • Access to select group activities and gatherings that do not include bar service
  • Invitations to our pre-cruise parties
  • Access to discounted pre-cruise hotel rates (when available)
  • Optional transfers and private excursions organized exclusively for our guests

While the cruise-only rate matches the cruise line’s standard pricing, many guests find that booking a fare with included perks—such as the Classic Beverage Package and Wi-Fi—not only enhances their onboard experience, but also allows them to fully participate in all group events.
