Registering for Connections Party

[Crusinoars]

We just booked a cruise for Oct 2, 2011 to Hawaii on the Celebrity. I tried to register for the connections party and received a message that "Only purchased bookings can register for the Cruise critic party." I called the Captain's Club and sent an email to my TA and both have said that you cannot register until final payment has been made. We are Elite with Celebrity and Diamond Plus with RCCL and for the of me I do not think that is true. Did the policy change?

No the policy didn't change. Our roll call is pretty much all registered for our 2 December cruises and we're deposited but not in final payment. Try again in a day or so. The website is so glitchy.

You may need to wait a day or two for your info to make it's way into the system. We just booked a cruise, with final payment not due until mid-April. We were able to sign up for the Connections party the day after we booked the cruise. They must have heard "sign up for party" and thought you were trying to book in a specialty restaurant or something like that. Sometimes they don't listen or read the full message before responding.

Thank you both for your responses. I will keep trying. I thought maybe I was having a SR moment. I know I have registered many times before final payment was made.
