deise17311 Posted September 1, 2013 #901 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I was given the e-mail address by Celebrity as a faster way to get my air change fees refunded. I attached my receipt from United as instructed by their agent. Me too...they said it was more organized and efficient via email...like Cindy I forwarded my new air receipt...you can also scan any other receipts...this way I also have an electronic record of this....

Cruisebaza Posted September 2, 2013 #905 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I also scanned and attached receipts to an e-mail. The correct address (or at least the one that seems to work) is indeed celebrityguestrelations@celebritycruises.com. The one I was given (on the cruise by guest services) is incorrect!!

josephsschmoe Posted September 2, 2013 #906 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Mr and Mrs Joseph S Schmoe (representing the Schmoes of Tallahassee) have been following this thread with some trepidation. We traveled on the Caribbean Princess on the voyage prior to the events documented in this link: http://www.cruisecritic.com/news/news.cfm?ID=4781 FWIW, I do remember returning to San Juan from Curacao on a single engine. I think that we averaged 14-15 kts which closely matched the float plan...we arrived on time. We had a wonderful experience. The way I remember the story is that all of the Princess passengers eventually received full credit for a future cruise so the 25% figure may have eventually been adjusted upwards. We are thinking about X for a PC trip next year. Will have to see how this plays out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillB48 Posted September 2, 2013 #907 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Since I can't find any other appropriate place to stick this..... For those of you following along the Millennium's passenger less Canal cruise, she has arrived in the Canal's Pacific anchorage. I don't have any idea when she is supposed to transit, but it could be as soon as tomorrow in the AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

specialdiet Posted September 2, 2013 #910 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Sad that so many cruisers had there vacations interrupted or cancelled! Out of curiosity, I'm wondering how many people found that their friends and family were far more interested in hearing about your holiday when things went wrong like this, as opposed to when you talk about an uneventful trip? Holiday horror stories seem to be much more fascinating for some reason... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cindy Posted September 4, 2013 #915 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Why would you want to email them? They require all your receipts, and I doubt they will accept copies submitted via email. I gathered up all of mine, made copies for myself, and submitted the originals to the address they provided in the letter we got before we left the ship. I was given the e-mail address by Celebrity as a faster way to get my air change fees refunded. I attached my receipt from United as instructed by their agent. I just received a call from Celebrity. My air change reimbursement is being processed...they had to call and get the credit card number because it's a different one than the card that's on file. The gentleman I spoke with said I should see the refund on my credit card statement by Friday.:D He also thanked me for highlighting the fees!:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think some people take satisfaction in the downfall of others (in Australia we call this Tall poppy syndrome) while others are generally empathetic. Luckily, it is normally easy to distinguish between the two. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C 2 C Posted September 4, 2013 #918 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Schadenfreude: is pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others. There are few more pleasurable moments than emailing from a cruise ship in February when a blizzard is making life miserable for your friends at home.. ;) Not that I would ever do that... :rolleyes: I am sure that there are many who are saying ( or gloating) I told you not to sail on a Celebrity M-class ship...

h2dcruise Posted September 5, 2013 #920 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Hi guys, Looking for help: 1. We still haven't received our refund, I tried to call Celebrity but the wait time seemed to long so I tried our TA. TA said it could take another 1 to 2 weeks. Has anyone gotten their refund yet... would it come to each CC paid in the original amounts? 2. Our TA said our 50% FCC is 50% Off whatever the future cruise we pick costs. I always thought it was 50% of what we had paid as credit... which is true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, if you paid $2000 on your cancelled sailing, you'll have $1000 to apply toward a future sailing. You might want to have your TA call =X= so that he/she doesn't keep making that misrepresentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the people who had their Galapagos Island cruise cancelled, they were unhappy as the % they received worked out from what they paid and not what the new cruise would cost. Some had a bargain $7,000 cruise which now costs $10,000, (the 25% of purchase price being $1750 now being only 17.5% off the replacement cruise).
