transfering onboard booking to TA

[Can'tstopcruising]

Hi! I don't usually do this. But I did it this time. I just received a confirmation from the TA with a new booking number. The TA claimed "they do this all the time". Is that true? There is no mention of my OBC. The answer was It takes a few days. Also, the new booking mentions that the $200 paid as a deposit is insufficient. I am now waiting (they said 72 minutes!) to speak to Celebrity myself. And woe be the person who says I have to go through the agent.

Some TAs put everyone into a group to provide the OBC. If that is the case, they require the entire deposit of $250 or more per person. Your booking number should be the same, however.

I finally reached someone at Celebrity (Annie) and she said everything is in order and I don't have to worry.

So...if the TA gives you OBC will that show up on your reservation when you look at it on Celebrity's website? Or do we have to wait until we sail and "hope" it shows up?

I have a new print-out that shows the OBC

My TA OBC doesn't show up on the Celebrity site. Neither does the Celebrity OBC I have (Celebrity Passage) but I do have written confirmation. The only thing that shows is the 123 package. I booked with Celebrity then transferred a day later.

 

My TA tried to get another $700 or so out of us for the deposit since we only deposited $200 due to the Celebrity Passage. I told them no, please check into it. Ended up they didn't require it.

 

The booking number also stayed the same.

enjoy,
