Jayandar Posted June 16, 2020 #1 Share Posted June 16, 2020 From your experience, if you work with a TA, when Celebrity cancels a cruise, are you notified only from your TA or also DIRECTLY from Celebrity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted June 16, 2020 #2 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Sometimes I get the news from Celebrity first, sometimes my travel agent got it first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Pennstatedj Posted June 16, 2020 #6 Share Posted June 16, 2020 My four cruises, I saw first on CC. Only one was I notified by X. TA on three cruises never notified me of a cancellation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Georgia_Peaches Posted June 16, 2020 #7 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Word for our cancelled cruise in April came directly from Celebrity first and then for our TA. Both in the form of an e-mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayandar Posted June 16, 2020 Author #8 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Interesting. I learned of a cruise cancellation through a roll call. So far, no emails from either TA or Celebrity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted June 16, 2020 #9 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Last 2 cancellations I heard first on a Cruise Critic, got email from TA later no notice from X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excitedofharpenden Posted June 16, 2020 #10 Share Posted June 16, 2020 For my cancelled Summit cruise in October the email came directly from Celebrity with a link contained within it to acknowledge receipt. Nothing from my TA, except an email this morning advising me that final payment will be due in three weeks! Phil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the reason given for the cancellation? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margarita Jane Posted June 16, 2020 #12 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Never received notification from Celebrity nor TA for two cruises. Saw it on CC and verified on X website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Click Posted June 16, 2020 #13 Share Posted June 16, 2020 The only way I hear from my about to be ex-TA now is if I lob a hand grenade towards New Hampshire. Celebrity let us know that our Iceland/Ireland cruise was canceled by text and email. Of course they still have not refunded our money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted June 16, 2020 #14 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I received several emails from Celebrity that I was required to acknowledge. I informed my TA. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayandar Posted June 16, 2020 Author #15 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Wow, what a variety of responses. Like Mr. Click, I am feeling the same way about my current TA who wanted me to prove it was cancelled! I am too stunned to respond so I am going to hold back to see who contacts me first, and when. I don't have a lot to lose or get back as the deposit was very minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a number of posts, admittedly not on roll calls, where people have prematurely announced a cancellation. In some cases, Celebrity did indeed cancel at a later date, but the cruise was still "on" at the time someone said that it was cancelled. If neither Celebrity nor your TA have advised you, might the information on the roll call be premature too? Of course, if someone on the roll call has actually received a cancellation notice from Celebrity, that's a whole different kettle of fish!

But of course Canada has closed borders until at least end of October. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three 2020 Celebrity cruises booked with Celebrity, then transferred to a TA. All three cancelled by Celebrity and Celebrity always notified us. Not a word from the useless TA at all! I let my TA know when I requested cash refunds for the three cruises. Edited June 16, 2020 by davekathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just another disappointment this year. I've had to cancel a few including a land trip to Taiwan next week. I'm philosophical by nature, have been lucky to travel in the past and hope for good news in future. I really feel for the crew, from the general cleaners around the ship to the Captain. A real leveller it's been. You and Pat stay well. I found out yesterday that another friend of mine came down with Covid-19 and is recovering. This thing is still out there.

Pat & I are doing well, staying at home and rooting for AZ to get their Vaccine out to the world as soon as they can. 🤞🏼🤞🏼Please take care of yourself, hope to sail with you again someday.

At no time in history has communication been easier or faster, yet Celebrity continues to ignore the benefits of keeping customers informed. It's truly bizarre that they bother to inform some but not others on the same cruise. In the old days, perhaps you could blame it on the time it took snail mail to reach different destinations, but that excuse died somewhere towards the end of the last century!
