Tks Dr. M The coupon book bought on board is fill with free items (worthless) if you visit a store. But if you have children or grandchildren then they may make good gifts to take home with you. |

Celebrity Coupon Book
Hi:
The coupon books are usually sold during the "port talks" on the ship and cost $20. As the previous posts have said, they are basically worthless with a few cheap freebees. On a previous cruise last fall, a fellow cruiser got sucked into buying one. She got a couple of things out of it and not planning to cruise again and knowing I was, gave it to me. It covers all caribbean ports. In our concierge cabin on the Infinity, there was a book in the book shelf. Knowing that there was a charge for this, I asked if others had gotten one too. The ones I asked said they hadn't so I assumed that it was left by a previous occupant. Since I had my "own", I didn't call the desk to ask if there would be a charge for it. I didn't even use my own coupons as there was nothing there worth the time to get. I left my book with the other book in the cabin with a note to feel free to use it inside the book. Kinda reminds me of a joke we had circulating down here when the Astro's were tanking so bad at the beginning of the season last year.

Yes, they're a gimmick to get you into preferred stores, but they're not worthless if you go into it with reasonable expectations. Our son (17) got one to help him shop for his girlfriend. I thought it worked really well for him. He got some earrings, necklaces, sunglasses, a t-shirt, some loose stones, etc. We started calling it his cruise booty. For $20 he had a lot of nice (if small) gifts for his girlfriend and a few things to keep as his own souvenirs of the trip. I would never do it, just because I don't want to hear some sales pitch at every store before getting the goodies. But I don't have any doubt that he got much more than his money's worth. gpeters |

Celebrity? What do they intail? My wife and I were suckered into buying these on our first (and only, so far - 2nd cruise now booked for 4/16/07!) cruise. They give a fairly hard sales pitch about only 200 available for the entire cruise - Get 'em now while you can! - and they really hype the shops in the book. For us, we only made time for one of the coupons and it entailed dealing with a lengthy sales pitch at the shop before we got the goodie. Some others of our party who were more interested in jewelry shopping may have had a better experience but, for me, I'd rather wander around to more out-of-the-way stores and avoid the big glitzy ones that end up in the coupon book. Besides, the whole process (the shopping class on ship, the searching through the book and clipping coupons and the looking for the stores) took way too much of our short port times. |
