Deposits for booking future Celebrity cruises while in ship
Arzeena replied to Honeybadger418's topic in Celebrity Cruises
We purchased a Future Cruise booking via the Book Later Form last Thursday on board the Reflection. Above where you had to sign, the rules are stated very clearly. After filling in your names, etc, it states: "By signing below, I acknowledge and authorize: .Celebrity Cruises to create a Book Later reservation with the above specified guests and charge the credit card on file. (Or you give them another card you want to use, which we did) . To be eligible for On Board Promotion of up to $500 obc, I have 6 MONTHS to pick ship and sailing date." ( with 6 MONTHS bolded and capitalized ). . After 6 months, I will no longer be able to take advantage of the Onboard offer. . If I do not pick a ship and sail date within 12 months of submitting this form, my "Book Later" will expire and I will lose my deposit. . Unlimited name changes on your new booking are allowed up until you pick your ship and sailing date, after which one name must remain the same." Also, after the you fill in your name, email, etc, there is a line in very fine print, that says "By default, Future Cruise bookings are assigned to the same travel professional as your current record. If you prefer other wise, check here......". Stating this because I have read a few posters saying that they did not know that they had to stick with the same agent. I believe that the Future Cruise person should point out all this while you are at their desk. But many people just fill out the Book Later form and drop it in, so just be aware of these things before you drop off that form. As someone mentioned, UK bookings and US bookings may have have different rules. What I posted above was for US bookings. -
ABC, Easy as 123... A Live Beyond Cruise Report
Arzeena replied to WrittenOnYourHeart's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Do you recall if the Cuban restaurant is still there in that strip mall? We have walked there from the Blue Lagoon Homewood Suites and enjoyed it a lot. We have never stayed at that Hampton Inn. How did you like it? Would you recommend? -

Have a wonderful cruise Beth! and Captain Kate is an added bonus.😁 The kitty Merida is such a cutie. Looking forward to your cruise reports. Bon Voyage! -
@helen haywood You had asked about Bimini. We ride the free trolley to its first stop, the Bimini Beach. Then to its second stop, the Casino to cool off in the ac and use bathrooms at the Hilton. Then strolled to Fisherman Village which was as uninteresting as ever. Then hopped on to the trolley and back on the ship. A two hour free excursion. I am extremely tempted to swim at Paradise Beach right down the pier. The waters are the blue est aqua and give Curacao waters a very tough competition....but Paradise Beach is also called Toilet Beach.....go figure, so reluctant to dip there. I didn't get off at Coco Cay since we have been there many many times. Enjoyed a peaceful solarium instead.

We went to the Pirates Museum and Queen's Staircase. Visited the Roman Catholic church wandered around and are back on the ship. I asked at least three men if they were Ken. No luck. Utopia is a loooooooooooong ship. You may need Uber to travel to the aft from the front. Note: I said "travel", not go to or walk to. Allure and Carnival Glory are also in Port.
