It depends on the time you check in--- no "big deal" though. As other folks have posted, less than 7 nights doesn't really give you the " feel " of Celebrity because the time goes by so fast. You mention "we’ll be booking next our next cruise while on this one!"--- Excellent idea to book while on board --- There "might" be a few benefits ( lower deposit, category upgrade, OBC ) that the Agent can offer. Also, if there is a benefit to you to transfer your booking to a TA , the Celebrity Agent can transfer the booking to them. Everything remains the same-- you do not lose anything. Some of us ( me ) transfer our booking to " Big Box Travel " where we receive a Gift Card based on a % of the cost of the cruise when we return home. It has worked very well-- never a problem.

Enjoy your cruise--- I have used a big box travel people on occasion. The only issue with them, and I am not sure it is a real issue, is that they don't participate in MoveUp bidding.

However, once you transfer the booking to let's say " Big Box ", they now are in control of the booking and would have to contact Celebrity for any changes. Perhaps they can bid on your behalf ? Also, I assume folks try/use the Move Up bidding process is to upgrade to a suite ? Because we are non-drinkers, require limited wifi , and would not need Butler services, we do not book a suite anymore (we did once). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
