At this point we are making alternate plans and hoping for enough compensation to get a Caribbean cruise in winter out of this! Oh sorry not supposed to be speculating about compensation 😒
-
My first VV also and agree there is good reason to look at alternate plans. What is the ta you reference?
-
Yes I saw that too and would agree that this cruise is unlikely. I had got on chat with Birgin a couple of days ago and was told : “I can guarantee that your voyage is still set to sail. It is just sold out currently.” seems like B to me and very poor customer service
-
Sounds good. What is I’ve only paid the deposit so far?
-
Curious - what were previous compensations?
-
I agree. Can’t book air fare home either as I use points and that usually incurs a cancellation fee.

Celebrity cancelled my Alaska cruise!
librarylady19 replied to JayBird7's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I've read about several Royal sailings being oversold recently, and they were offering passengers full refund and credit for another cruise. I would pursue this. -
Got this also and was wondering how to find rates - what # to call?

i just did a week on Harmony as Diamond and another week on reflection as Elite, so have experience recently with its systems. On all other celebrity cruises I’ve had drinks included but since it was just me (DH had to go back to work) I opted to go the budget route and manage with Elite drinks only. Let me say, I much preferred the Diamond perk which allowed me to choose any drinks, when I felt like having them. oI also liked the Diamond breakfast & nibbles in DL. The elite perk on Celebrity was much more restrictive, not just in timeframe but the drinks that were on the included list. Overall, Celebrity is by far my favorite cruise line but I did give Royal the edge in this category. Not. Deal breaker but just preferable.

Captain's Club Benefit and Drink Packages
librarylady19 replied to conquesodor's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Just got off phone w/ Capts Club and added the upgrade for 13 night TA. Worked out to $16.50 additional pp per day (essentially 1 cocktail😀) and I was able to apply by OBC. Thx for everyone’s advice! -

Can you use OBC (already on account) if you call in to purchase the drinks upgrade? -
Just on Reflection last week and this was not my experience. Food in MDR was great, service was on point, cabin steward was efficient and responsive. Did not have dinner in Oceanview so can't comment on that. Went for lunch once and it was fine (much more choice than on Harmony cruise week before where food was gross in Windjammer).

Question: why does Royal allow smoking in its casinos (which invariably impacts other areas of the ship negatively) when only 12.5% of the adult population still smoke? Many land casinos ban smoking and still make plenty of money. 2nd question: why doesn’t Celebrity switch to the more flexible Diamond drink “vouchers” rather than limit Elites to meager drinks list from 5-7 pm?
