Dar & Bob Posted November 9, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) I was just checking our sailing on the Ascent April 21st, 2024 and it is nowhere to be found. The sailing the week before has also disappeared. I did a chat with a Celebrity rep and they said it is marked "code red". He said that could mean inventory maintenance, chartered booking etc. Since it is two weeks in a row I assume it isn't a charter but we got a good price on the cruise and really hope it is still on. Anyone else have an experience like this? We were told we would be notified at some point what is going on. Hoping if nothing else they will let us move the cruise to another date with same ship and itinerary.

Jeremiah1212 Posted November 9, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I would bet the transatlantic got pushed up a few weeks. Not that it doesn't happen, but a charter - even two consecutive charters at that - on a brand new ship this far in advance just isn't that likely.

AtlantaCruiser72 Posted November 9, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Most likely cancelled and transatlantic replacing them to get ship to Europe earlier than previously planned. This happens frequently when booking the last sailing or two of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank for posting Please let us know if you hear something. I was looking to see what else was available since it appears the rest of 2024 has been released for some of the other ships. Hoping they will let us lift it to another date if it is a transatlantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted November 9, 2022 #6 Share Posted November 9, 2022 The Ascent will be sailing in Europe in 2024 so likely some April sailings will be cancelled and replaced with a transatlantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Gopher Posted November 9, 2022 #7 Share Posted November 9, 2022 It’s closed out in the booking system. Typically when this happens they will let you move to another sailing at current prevailing rates. Meaning they won’t do a lift and shift and you retain your same price. Sometimes they will offer to allow to move to a few specific date sailings and keep your same price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says “Closed” and all categories are marked N/A and you cannot book anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoperDK Posted November 11, 2022 #10 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Just got a call from Celebrity. I was booked on the Apr. 21st sailing. It has indeed been cancelled. They did offer a price protected move to either the Mar. 31st or Apr. 7th cruise. We chose to move to the same itinerary in the same cabin on the Apr. cruise. Received an extra $200 OBC to boot with the Black Friday offer. I am pleased with the outcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare lv2cruisgrl Posted November 12, 2022 #11 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Our TA got a email: To accommodate an earlier Transatlantic voyage to begin Celebrity Ascent's new 2024 Europe deployment, a decision has been made to cancel the last two Caribbean sailings departing April 14, 2024, and April 21, 2024.

gerelmx Posted November 12, 2022 #12 Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) I booked directly with Celebrity the April 14 sailing, until now no news from X and my booking still is on my CP. Angry because X doesn’t respect the bookings already made. Edited November 12, 2022 by gerelmx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerelmx Posted November 14, 2022 #13 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I have booked on April 14, I just spoke to Celebrity, they told me that they have no information about the cancellation, that I should not listen to rumors, and if it is true, I should wait for an official statement 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verizon Posted November 14, 2022 #14 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Can someone tell me when Transatlantic open for booking? I surely like the new ship for crossing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerelmx Posted November 14, 2022 #15 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Finally in my cruise planner, my cruise for April 14 shows CANCELED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dar & Bob Posted November 14, 2022 Author #16 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Ours now shows cancelled as well. I am going to call to see if we can get moved - I sure hope so. I have two more X cruises in 2023 so I hope they do right by us and our friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerelmx Posted November 14, 2022 #17 Share Posted November 14, 2022 As we were in a B2B2B (2 times in Cozumel and 1 in Tortola), we do not like the change to repeat Tortola, we have canceled and requested a refund of the deposit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Update to my post- called and the only choice for our itinerary is April 7th which may not work for our friends 😞 any other dates are at prevailing rates. Hubby and I may be cruising alone. We really want to try the ship and we got a great fare so April 7, 2024 it is ....... Only 509 days away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
