No more sales to international clients

[mace1942]

Had an interesting reply to a cruise price enquiry to US travel agent from UK.

'As of April 3 2013 US Travel Agents are no longer allowed to sell Celebrity Cruises to international clients'.

Is Celebrity blocking yet another channel for UK and other international clients to get the deals that US citizens have access to?

Is this because of the high airfares the us residents have to pay to get to European embarkation points that they get all the perks?

Looks that way. What is it worth to you to rent my post box? :D

I know of at least three people who have booked via a US TA later than that date.

The same high airfares that I had to pay to the US when we cruised the Panama

OP, try another TA or two. You may get a different answer.

I have booked through a US Travel Agent AFTER this date and have my confirmation, Celebrity have charged the deposit to my Amex card and yesterday we even had our stateroom assigned (we booked a guarantee).

UK citizens have to pay the same high airfares to get to Caribbean, Panama Canal, Alaska, Hawaii, Bermuda and Asia cruises.

In fact our Air passenger tax is the highest in the world:mad:
