Thank you for pursing this with Celebrity. Unfortunately, it seems to me that the above response could still be open to interpretation.
Maybe it's just me, but, I would be more comforted if someone who actually went through the experience - buying discounted Celebrity gift cards on the AARP website, applying those cards to their Celebrity cruise payment, and then cancelling their Celebrity cruise - could post their outcome so we can understand what happened.
How about it?
Anyone?????
