CruiseLifeIsTheBest Posted February 21, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Well, darn it! Just got the call. December 3rd 3 day preview sailing cancelled. So sad as it was a total surprise for my DH and aligned nicely with an Infinity booking which would have allowed 2 days in Ft Lauderdale between the two. On to planning something else I guess, probably a lot cheaper and he won't even know anything is different so there's the glass half full :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WonderMan3 Posted February 21, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 21, 2018 What reason did Celebrity give for the cancellation? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerelmx Posted February 21, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Celebrity web site does not display it, other internet site sends the message:No cabin categories are available for the specified sailing, air transportation city and number/type of passengers selected. Please go back and select another sailing or change the air transportation city or number/type of passengers selected. Chartered?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please go back and select another sailing or change the air transportation city or number/type of passengers selected. Chartered?? Yes. It has looked that way for at least the past month or so. It came up somewhere else in conversation in another thread with people wondering if it had been chartered. But now we see there have been people booked on it. There is a roll call for this sailing but no one there has posted about a cancellation. Wonder what’s going on.

Cruisenouvelle Posted February 21, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Strange....we had booked this several weeks ago, but decided to cancel ( and did so) two days ago. Couldn't really justify the shlep to FLL for three nights at almost 300.00 per person per night. We'll book down the road when the kinks are ironed out. I will miss that new ship smell, however!

MartiniBarhooked Posted February 22, 2018 #9 Share Posted February 22, 2018 We are on the Dec.6th sailing. And there is one other on Dec.1st. So did they move the Dec 3rd sailing to the 1st? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisy-mae Posted February 22, 2018 #10 Share Posted February 22, 2018 "No cabin categories are available for the specified sailing, air transportation city and number/type of passengers selected. " Could it be because there is no flight availability, or not enough seats left on the flights that were chosen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbette165 Posted February 22, 2018 #11 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Two possibilities spring to mind. 1) They’ve added a 2 day pause between the, now 1st December sailing and the one on the 6th, to go through the teething problems and adjust processes accordingly. Or 2) They’ve arranged a promotional cruise for the travel trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted February 22, 2018 #12 Share Posted February 22, 2018 With absolutely no knowledge of facts, I would think it's for travel agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downsmead Posted February 22, 2018 #13 Share Posted February 22, 2018 In our experience, following a recent 'redeployment' on Celebrity, it means they have changed their minds about the existing cruises and are rearranging them into either longer or shorter cruises. It looks as though the Dec 1st cruise is replacing the Dec 3rd one (a longer cruise, instead of the 3 day one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lastdance Posted February 22, 2018 #14 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Originally, I canceled my December 16 cruise when I found out they were opening up earlier sailings, even though changing would have been better for me and my DH. I had a feeling that something was going to happen, even before it did. Now, I am only booked on the TA in April, feeling good about cruising with our cruise buddies. However, I do understand how the OP feels, especially since it would be a great surprise, but with a higher opportunity cost. At least you have plenty of time to find something else...

CruiseLifeIsTheBest Posted February 23, 2018 Author #16 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Thing that is kinda digging in my crawl is I feel like (can't validate just feels like) Celebrity was selling cabins on the Dec 1st cruise well before they decided to notify Dec 3rd folks. When I went to look for a Infinite balcony yesterday, only guaranteed cabin available. Found that odd. Oh well, will definitely find a less expensive option :cool: It's their business and it's just that, a business. Still have yet to find a better value that we enjoy more!
