Can you change the date on a Celebrity cruise once you put the deposit down?

Hello,

I already put down a deposit on a Celebrity cruise, but now have to change the date? Can I change the date of the cruise without losing the deposit?

Best if you post this on the dedicated Celebrity Cruise Forum for more response

Ask this on the Celebrity forum. Maybe someone will know. If you are before final payment I would think yes since you could cancel and rebook. But if you have already made final payment, I doubt you can change.

It's just a cancel and rebook without penalty - unless you used a TA that charges a fee for cancellation. Or if you live in Europe/UK where deposits are not refundable. EM

Have you called your TA or Celebrity?

I agree with Don. I would just call Celebrity today or if booked with the TA contact them.

Terms vary depending which country you booked in.

No doubt answers you've been given are appropriate for the USA.

But, as essiesmom's post, not necessarily for those booking in UK/Europe. And mebbe not in Aus.

Best to read thro Celebrity's terms on their website for your home country, but even if the terms say you have no entitlement it's worth asking them - you might find them co-operative if its just a change of date & the cruise isn't imminent.

Celebrity now has nonrefundable bookings. If your booking falls in this category there will be a $100 fee per person to change. If you purchased refundable there is no penalty from celebrity but there may be from your TA. Good luck.

Contact whomever you booked with for the answer but a change of date is most always a Cancel and Rebook . If you have a cancelation penalty with the TA or Cruise Line , that will be in effect.

Celebrity does not require you to cancel and rebook if you want to change your cruise date or ship as long as you are not after final payment, have book under US booking policies, and did not book under the new non refundable deposit program. You keep the same booking number and just make the change. This is handy if you booked on board with a book on board OBC.

Thanks everyone for responding. I was able to change the date without a penalty.
