I have a friend who sails solo at least 3 times a year, but only on Celebrity. She feels safe but more important, she feels included.

Cruise Raider I think you nailed it....we transferred a booking from Celebrity to a TA to sail with some friends. Thank you all so much!!!

Me either, that's why I posted however it's on my invoice....confused. in case it is, do you have any infirinform what it might be? Much appreciated

Eastern Caribbean, January 3,2020

Just found out our Reflection cruise is listed as a "Food & Wine" cruise. Any details please?

Thanks

Change your thread title, misrepresents.

Was quite understandable

Bless your heart..you don't have to go. However for us, we enjoy them. Certainly well below pricing for our favorite places here. Each can customize as they wish, great thing about cruising isn't it?

Wow, where do some folks get their information?

 

CARNIVAL has just re-committed to Jacksonville where they have been sailing from for many years, not Celebrity.

 

Cruises out of Port Canaveral are hardly all for the budget-minded. We paid quite handsomely for our Oasis of The Seas cruise last year compared to what we have paid previously for cruises out of For Lauderdale and Bayonne.

 

And someone needs to explain to my bank account that when Celebrity sailed out of Charleston that I paid a deeply-discounted fare. Hardly the case. I would love to see X come back to Charleston as I am 20 minutes from the port. It is a very small, albeit vocal minority that have fought against our local cruise business. Primarily its a bunch of snotty elitists that moved to Charleston from up north and are obsessed with fighting against tourism. To me, it is not unlike moving to Orlando and complaining about the tourists. No logic whatsoever.

Actually it's more of wanting more commercial over recreational in Port...brings in more $$$. Buy Lindsey a scotch and he'll explain it all to you;););)

6. You never know what life will bring. Go.......❤️

My mom and I had a cruise booked she had wanted to do for years, she ended up pushing it back a year and died 4 months before we were to leave. Never wait on something you wish to do.

I wouldn't have spent 50 minutes on the phone trying to get them to give me information that is not available. Frankly, after being told by the first person it wasn't yet available it is hard to imagine what OP hoped to accomplish by elevating it to a supervisor.

Actually I was told she didn't know and

transfered me...my assumption, quite wrongly, was that I was being transferred to one who could answer as to if the dates were open or when they would be. LOL I've spent longer than that on line before....

Tried to tell them the schedules were coming out in May but [emoji17]

I actually didn't go back and see your post until later. As I said previously, will check when they come out. Thank you for the reply.

One question I have and that is how many people at various levels did you expect to talk to in order to get a different answer? All said they were not out yet. Rudeness is not needed/acceptable but trying to get an answer that does not exist is wasting peoples time.

Agreed, that's all they needed to say. Thank you

Posts like this are funny to me because when people are upset with the cruise line and book with another, you never hear them say " they just lost out on 4 ov's and 10 Insides. It always seems to be the most expensive cabins to try and "stick it to them".

 

In all my cruises on Princess and the numerous calls, I've never had a rude rep that hung up on me, maybe one that is not knowledgeable but never rude.

Wasn't my intention...just cabins we were booking for this particular cruise no matter what line. Last time was a bunch of OV's... thank you

Just curious but with a booking for 14 cabins and suites why wouldn’t you contact a good travel agent rather than book direct with the cruise line? Many TA’s offer very nice discounts and on board credit in addition to their service.

Our one we used to use retired. Book big cruises through lines every few years, never been an issue.

The good news is that the OP can check prices next month when the schedules come out and determine if Celebrity is still the better choice. When I've compared prices, Princess has come out better than Celebrity the past several years, especially when considering the value of our past-passenger perks and shareholder benefit. For instance, our September cruise on the Royal Princess is $800 less per person than a Celebrity cruise that's a week shorter.

That's the plan.

I certainly would not have spent 50 minutes on the phone if I didn't plan to make a booking at some point. No need to make assumptions about OP and intentions.

Neither did I LOL. Just wasn't the expectation from our past experience with Princess.

The Fall 2019 Caribbean schedule is due out May 16 & 17

Thank you

Celebrity doesn't have mini-suites. Perhaps you mean Concierge Class or Aqua Class? If so, they aren't really mini-suites. They're just the same size as the other cabins on the Millennium Class ships and slightly larger (20sf I think) on the Solstice Class ships.

I totally get your frustration though. I wish the Princess itineraries would come out sooner too.

Was not even the wait. All anyone needed to say was they'd be out in about 3 weeks and I would have waited. Thanks for being nice.

If you booked with Celebrity without waiting a few weeks for the Princess itineraries to be released, you must have found exactly what you want on Celebrity. You would probably have booked with them anyway. :) Enjoy your cruise.

Not the plan at all.

Give it three weeks and three days.

Thank you

Thank you Paul.

DrivesLikeMario, yup....sky Suites, as close to a mini as you can get. And yes. I was online nearly 50 minutes. But it was definitely the attitude. Not even a good bye, just click

I'm sure they won't. Enjoy your your day.

Actually if I had a ball park time frame I would have waited since it was the majority's first choice. The attitude was the killer. But thanks. Will take a look when schedule comes out for out January 2020. Hubs and I curious about all the changes and interested in Nieuw Statendam.

Thank you everyone. Ended up booking with Celebrity again. Princess just lost 4 suites and 10 mini suites. Really a shame.
