Constellation Europe 2021 Disappears

[york survey]

I know that the Celebrity web site is unstable to say the least. However I was repricing my October cruise this morning and noted that ALL Constellations' summer 2021 season has disappeared.

 

Winter 2021/22 Caribbean is still showing so unlikely to be a sign of the ship been sold. But as she was due to do long cruises could be that cancelations are on the way!! Time will tell!!

 

All the other Europe deployments are still available.

Have you rung Celebrity there is an 0800 number

[tromvest]

i just called Celebrity and the representative said there will be an announcement about the Constellation coming this week. She said she wasn't at liberty to discuss right now.

Does anyone have a TA that may have the information?

You did well to get anything out of them.

 

Sadly I think we might be seeing the end of Constellation. Celebrity hasn't lost any ships yet so I fear it's due. 

 

Keep an eye on the winter Caribbean season. If that starts to be locked off/closed the writing is on the wall

Not only Constellation.

There are "no rooms available" for the Edge in August and September 2021.  

[gerelmx]

in the Royal Caribbean forum the cancellation of all cruises through April 30 is discussed

[RickT]

I wonder if it’s due to the fact that Constellation is doing longer sailings?  Although I haven’t read anything about Europe restricting cruise length perhaps Celebrity is reducing every cruise to 7 days or less?

 

I did notice Reflection and a couple other ships with longer sailings but they too could disappear.

[gerelmx]

Will 2021 Europe season cancelled?

It's starting to look like it. Edge disappearing is a surprize but in this craze world we find ourselves in ... anything can happen

I think the whole of Constellation Summer 2022 in in the process of been taken down!!   You have to go a little further but try booking a room!!

 

I'm booked on 4th October 21 and have just checked out 3rd Oct 22 to look at options. The site says the 2022 cruise is sold out   YES SURE!!!

[almostnewtocruise]

Reflection to Israel seems to be still on.. So is Apex and Infinity from Barcelona,

Perhaps a major cut back in Europe.  We know that Celebrities customer base is mainly US and that a high percentage of people will be reluctant to fly long haul for some time. Could make some sense to concentrate ships in US waters.

 

Best hope is for some new, more imaginative, US cruises. But I fear it will be more of the safe and steady Caribbean!!

VOLUNTARY
GLOBAL SUSPENSION OF
CRUISING EXTENDED 

January 12TH, 2021

Dear Valued Travel Partner,

As we continue to focus on the healthy and safe return to cruising for guests, crew and the communities we visit, we are working closely with our sister brands at Royal Caribbean Group and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as government authorities around the world toward our shared goal. In order to return in the best way possible, we continue to extend the suspension of certain Celebrity Cruises sailings.

In brief, Celebrity Cruises will be suspending sailings through April 30th, 2021 including the May 1st, 2021 transatlantic cruise on Celebrity Apex. As well, May through October 2021 Europe and transatlantic cruises on Celebrity Edge and Celebrity Constellation will also be suspended.

For your guest's convenience, Future Cruise Credits issued as part of the Global Suspension of Sailing will also now be eligible for redemption by April 30th, 2022 on sailings departing on or before September 30th, 2022.

Guests booked on Celebrity Edge, Constellation and Apex will have the option to take a 125% FCC or 100% Refund, or to rebook any other 2021 Europe sailing and receive $100 OBC per stateroom.

FCCs issued as part of the Cruise with Confidence program will also now be eligible for redemption by April 30th, 2022 on sailings departing on or before September 30th, 2022.

 

No mention of Silhouette.

Edited January 12, 2021 by upwarduk

[bluwes]

We're booked on Silhouette to the Norwegian Fjords in August, so hopefully that is still going ahead as we lifted from last Summers cancelled sailing

[wrk2cruise]

I find the above poorly written as usual?   I understand Edge/Connie no Europe season.  But Apex says TA is cancelled but nothing else is mentioned until you get to the options statement where it says Edge, Apex and Connie are able to take refund, 125% FCC or rebook any Europe sailing and get $100 OBC.

 

Is that offer just for the Apex TA?  Or is Apex Europe cancelled as well?

 

I believe the offer also signals the end of L&S since it's not offered.

Edited January 12, 2021 by wrk2cruise

[almostnewtocruise]

We are booked on  Apex for  July. Seems to be still on.

[wrk2cruise]

I guess all other TA's were in April so got covered with the blanket extension.   Then it's funny that Apex TA guests who rebook a Europe sailing get $100 but other TA guests don't.   But I doubt TA guests will be rebooking at this summers prevailing rates anyway, and if they are $100 is meaningless.

Just got this which is very interesting if you have a great rate

This will be the third time a cruise our Greek cruise from Venice will be cancelled, I am beginning to think we are not meant to see Venice and the Greek Islands.

Interesting change where they are now letting you book based on the “Per Day Rate”.  I don’t believe this was previously offered and I know it wasn’t offered when my March 2021 New Zealand cruise was cancelled.  I will definitely reach out to Celebrity and see if that is now an option for me.  I was unable to Life and Shift and the only comparable cruise in 2022 was much more expensive.
