My next Celebrity cruise is a UK booking, priced in sterling (GBP). I've paid for cruises in GBP on other lines before but not Celebrity, and OBC has always been in USD because that's the currency used on board. However, for this Celebrity cruise, the OBC is showing in GBP and says the exchange rate will be set the first time I pay for something.
I am completely confused! Everything on board is priced in USD, why do I have to pay in GBP and be committed to whatever exchange rate Celebrity chooses to charge? I would prefer to pay in USD and pay my credit card's exchange rate at the time. It's also much easier on board to have my OBC in USD when that's how everything is priced.
Could someone please explain how this works.
I have e-mailed Celebrity to ask for my OBC to be shown in USD but haven't received a reply.
