WASUP Posted September 10, 2005 #1 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I am reading and finding out that the Celebrity cruise line debits or charges your account the minute you book an excursion. We are over two months out and not knowing what we wish to do yet, I am hesitate to book an excursion,have them charge the card and then change my mind and have to wait to get the monies credited back,etc.I am also not clear about their cancellation policy. I have heard that the bookings for the shore excursions is closed ten days prior to the sailing and then you can only purchase tours on board. Does anyone know their cancellation policy? Other crusie lines allowed us to book an excursion and NOT charge us, then we got on board and had till the day before the excursion to cancel the tour and not get penalized Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahoymatey3 Posted September 10, 2005 #2 Share Posted September 10, 2005 The cancellation policy, lenghty as it is, may be viewed here (scroll down a bit on the page) http://shorex.celebrity.com/cc/TermsAndConditions.asp?ShoreXSessionID=C9044FFDDE0A4049B647147704B72E05&pagreement=0&pbkid=&preflang=ENG&pcur=USD The main reason to reserve early is to be sure you get the excursion you want. I too use a debit card and like the fact that all my excursions are now paid for. That will less the :eek: factor when I get the shipboard bill.

JORAY Posted September 10, 2005 #3 Share Posted September 10, 2005 We have pre-booked and later canceled one or two, Have not had a problem as long as you cancel in the correct time frame before schedule date with no questions asked. The credit was on our ship board account fast, almost before we were back to the stateroom. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahoymatey3 Posted September 10, 2005 #4 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I forgot to add that I did cancel an excursion (70 days from sailing). I only took 3 days for the refund to show up on my debit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richsea Posted September 10, 2005 #5 Share Posted September 10, 2005 We prebooked an excursion for our Hawaii cruise, then cancelled it the day before while on the ship & it was credited to ur shipboard account immediately. I wouldn't worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
