@topspotHow deep is the water that you snorkel in with them? I'm a real fraidy-cat snorkeler. I can handle floating on the surface but diving down freaks me out (and not being able to see the bottom would freak me out too!). Do you have to dive down a lot to see things (that's the impression I got from the video on their web site). Thanks!

Thanks to an amazing sale and no solo supplement a couple of months ago...I will be on the Celebrity Millennium for three southern Caribbean cruises Feb 11, 18, and 25 out of San Juan. This will be my first solo cruise, but I travel solo often (am travelling solo in Quebec right now.). Any other solos here on this cruise yet? So far the roll call is all couples and large groups. And it was pointed out that the first one is a Valentine's Day cruise. Yikes! I never thought of that. Won't be going to the MDR that night. 🙂

So true! When I occasionally travel with others I am so grateful to be able to go to the washroom in the airport or train station without my luggage and that I don't have to try to find another seat when I get out. Or that there's a second person to help boost my bag up into the overhead bins or luggage racks in the train (although last week on the train someone offered to help me before I even asked---the joy of getting and looking older, it seems).

I'm guessing it just came down to the relationship that the branch manager has with their contacts at the cruise line and them recognizing that an honest mistake was made and being able and willing to honour the original bookings. If there's more to the story I'll never know!

If anyone's curious, the bookings are being honoured at the original prices. Thanks again for your responses.

Thank you everyone. I'll give her office a call tomorrow and speak with the manager. Normally I would have been more on top of this, but I was packing and moving and wrapping up a job so things were crazy. I think I do have the email paper trail. I have the three booking numbers and PDFs of the bookings. She just forgot to make the deposit, it seems, so the cruise line cancelled them. I'll see what happens!

The TA I've had for years did not return to work after Covid and I continued with one of her coworkers. I booked three back-to-back Caribbean cruises for February next year on Celebrity at a phenomenal rate and with no single supplement. Or so I thought... The last communication I received from her was her confirming that she had the same room number booked for all three and then I replied saying to use the credit card she had already for the deposit (if she'd kept it from a different cruise she had recently booked for me) or otherwise to phone me when she needed the information. I never heard back and (foolishly) assumed she'd booked it with the same card. A couple weeks has passed and I realized I hadn't received anything from her. I checked my card and nothing was billed. I checked one of the cruises and my cabin is showing as available. I am clearly not booked on these cruises. She is currently on vacation until the second week of August. How would you proceed? Is the agency (I'm in Canada) obligated in any way to provide these cruises for me at the rate I thought I'd booked (the price has now doubled)? I'm feeling so dumb right now that I didn't follow up sooner. And I'm really, really missing my wonderful retired TA.

I just received confirmation that my shareholder OBC had been applied. I submitted the information by email and it took 20 days.
