How difficult is it to switch staterooms?

[patterson3]

Our cruise is still over a year away but I was wondering if there is any difficulty in switching staterooms at this point or is it simply a matter of calling up Celebrity and picking a new stateroom?

That's not a simple question as there are so many fare restrictions and special price offers. Are you wanting to be in the same category? Did you book through Celebrity or a travel agent?

Booked through Celebrity directly, hoping to switch from a 1A to a different 1A (with a larger balcony, if one is available of course). The prices have not changed since my initial booking.

No problem. Just call X and request a change.

It's VERY easy... Celebrity does not have that many categories, so it's very easy. Call your TA or Celebrity. Whoever you have your cruise reserved through.

Thank you very much. I didn't think it would be a problem, but figured I'd check with CC before I'm able to call tonight.

One thing to make sure of when doing any switching-keep the same booking number in order to retain whatever incentives you may have gotten with the initial booking.

 

Happy Sails to You

Did that yesterday for next April-called Celebrity-took 1 minute-no problem.

Call Celebrity and there should be no problem since you are going from 1A to 1A. I have done this and no problem.

Over a year away should be no problem. Unless you got some special that you may lose by making a change. Ask X first.

As you get closer to sailing, making a change is more difficult. And the risk of paying a penalty is more likely.

And if you board the ship and then decide you don't like your accommodation--lots of luck. Even if there are a few unsold cabins, getting the service desk to make a switch is akin to 'mission impossible'. They will probably tell you all cabins are booked. They may hold a few cabins unsold as 'protect' space in event some cabins are 'bad-ordered' by plumbing or HVAC issues that cannot be timely corrected.
