Booked On Board - Can I Now Change to Celebrity

[jegoodman]

I've been scouring the boards but I haven't found the answer to this question.

 

I booked a cruise while on board RCCL. I did not use Next Cruise but picked a specific cruise. I now do not wish to take this cruise but would rather take a Celebrity cruise. Does anyone know if you can transfer your same booking number to Celebrity (to retain OBC) or do you just have to start all over again with Celebrity and get a new booking number?

 

I do know that you CANNOT transfer a Next Cruise to Celebrity. It clearly states that on the form... but haven't seen anything on the topic I posted above.

 

Also, for those who have booked a Celebrity Cruise WHILE YOU WERE ONBOARD a RCL cruise, what OBC did you get? Is it the same as RCCL or is it dramatically different?

 

Thank you.

Don't know for sure but my TA has told me we can indeed do that. Seems like I've seen other posts where this question has been answered - and in the way you are hoping! I'm sure someone will be able to verify this soon.

I'm not sure but it seems like you can do that, best way to find out is just call RCCL and ask them.

I think I heard the X now gives less OBC for booking while on a cruise than RCL. So you may want to ask what you are getting?

 

Good luck......Judy

Yes, you can change your booking from RCI to Celebrity by keeping the same booking number since you did not use a NextCruise booking.

 

However, with Celebrity, your OBC will be determined by the total cruise fare only and not the number of days being sailed.
