If you’ve started pricing out a cruise with Celebrity Cruises, you’ve probably noticed something pretty quickly…
👉 There are a LOT of options.
- Different fares
- Different deposit types
- Multiple cabin categories
- And then… different classes on top of that
It’s no wonder so many cruisers feel stuck trying to figure out what they actually need (and what’s just extra).
🎥 Watch This Before You Book Anything
📌 What You’ll Learn in This Video
In this step-by-step breakdown, I walk you through how it all works in a way that’s easy to understand:
- 💰 The difference between refundable vs. non-refundable deposits (and when each makes sense)
- 🧾 What’s included in Cruise Only vs. All Included fares
- 🍹 How drink packages and Wi-Fi really factor into value
- 🛏️ The different cabin categories, including verandas and what makes them different
- 🌊 The truth about Infinite Verandas vs. traditional balconies
- ✨ What you actually get with upgrades like:

🤔 Why This Matters Before You Book
This isn’t just about picking a room…
The choices you make here can impact:
- Your overall cruise cost
- Your onboard experience
- And whether you feel like you got real value for your money
A lot of people either:
❌ Overpay for things they don’t use
❌ Or underbook and wish they upgraded later
This video helps you avoid both.
⚠️ Quick Heads-Up
Some of these options -especially things like:
- Cabin location
- Fare types
- Upgrade classes
👉 Can vary by ship — especially on newer ships like Celebrity’s Edge Class.
That’s why seeing it explained visually makes a big difference.
