Do they still do the port pictures when you disembark at each port?

WOW! Thank you so much for this information! I really appreciate you taking the time to answer all my questions, @mahdnc! A lot to think about.

Thanks, @Jim_Iain! PS. As with @mahdnc, I greatly enjoy reading your beautiful live reports and learn so much!💐

Thanks again, @mahdnc! I think I understand more fully now the nuances.

@zgscl 👍 thank you!

@juanrod Thanks for the tip! Happy to hear you were able to get it resolved.

Since the group cruise pricing usually is refundable fare and cheaper, plus AI.

Thank you, @mahdnc. Do you know if you can assign the Book Later cruise to a TA of your choice if you book later? If your TA has a “Group Cruise” pricing on your selected cruise, do you lose the benefits of booking onboard? TIA.

Thank you! @mahdnc PS. Thank you for doing your “Live from” threads also. They are beautiful to read and I also learn so much each time.💐

But if you try to shift the booking to a different cruise, you will be charged a fee of $100/pax, correct? Just like there is a fee of $100 for shifting a cruise if you had booked it “normally” not onboard or with a FCC.

It’s a little scary there are so many minute details to watch out for! I’m less inclined to buy a FC certificate now. But will perhaps hold off final judgement on booking a new cruise while onboard until I maybe talk to them (I have never thought of doing that before on prior cruises). That is assuming I find a suitable cruise ahead of time.

🤦🏻‍♀️ Thanks for asking that! That’s why I originally posted the question above - I was all confused.

@mahdnc & @dunedinmaiden Thanks for the further confirmation. @mahdnc screenprint prompted me to have a second look at the last 2 pages of my guest ticket booklet (printed 3 days ago). It doesn’t say “non refundable “ deposit, just “reduced”.😁 As @jelayne wrote - conditions can change so rapidly. It seems Not even Celebrity themselves can keep up.

@dogsdogs, @Jim_Iain, @DingoMom, @BettyCruiser, @kokopelli-az, @jelayne Thanks so much for your responses! I think my personal take-away is that if you already have a particular cruise in mind, there is some benefit to booking onboard, but the Book Later deal is no longer as beneficial. And conditions change so frequently I had better read the fine print of the LATEST flyer I get once onboard!

@jelayneand @BettyCruiser Thank you .
