We've cruised Celebrity a lot. I always used to use a T/A for the better prices and added perks until I discovered Celebrity's cadre of actual cruise planners. Not sales people, but actual agents who can "talk the talk and walk the walk" they had the knowledge and the authority to change your reservation. I stopped using T/As because at Celebrity, using a T/A means they will ABSOLUTELY without question, NOT talk to you about your reservation, period. So, when prices go down, I have to hope I can reach the T/A (weekends? nights?), tell them what it is I want, have them verify it and then wait while they try to contact Celebrity. Not so with my planner...all I had to do was take a screenshot of the deal, added perk, whatever I was looking at and send it to them, 24/7. When they next reported for work, he'd see the email and I'd get a return email and copies of my cruise paperwork with the new deal, even if that deal was expired because he had the screenshot. EASY peasy. He would even match the gift cards being handed out by big box retailers for your booking with Celebrity OBC. I often booked cruises 18 months to 2 years out and have changed prices on both refundable/nonrefundable cruises, added drink packages, wifi and so on, up to 6-8 times or more. Way easier with him than using a T/A. If you educate yourself, there's not much a T/A can do that you yourself can't, why wouldn't you use a Celebrity cruise planner, its so much easier.
