Our cancellation was before final payment and we haven’t been fully reimbursed. I think J was told it would come in pieces. Nothing yet.. we cancelled the excursions and dining online and have receipts. Then we called to cancel the cruise under the short lived "Cruise w confidence",: 50 % refund to card plus tax and fees and 50% fcc No rush but would like put it to rest and figure out our credit card refunds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told all I was getting was a future cruise credit if I were to cancel??? We cancelled as soon as the offer was posted..we were in 50% penalty. Offer changed shortly after that to fcc only!

"who had been aboard a Celebrity Cruise acquired the virus" And our news always tells the truth and nothing but the truth? Doesn't pass the smell test. Makes better news if caught disease on board. 50/50 IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We canceled on 3/10 and while in the 75% penalty phase. First, they honored the original cancellation agreement and refunded 25%. Then, with the new temporary policy, they covered our "cancellation fees" (75%) with a FCC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briguy071 Posted March 13, 2020 #33 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I was on this cruise. I contacted health officials immediately upon hearing this news report but I have been told to self monitor. My wife and I stayed home from work yesterday because we were showing symptoms of the common cold but did not want to take chances. Neither one of us have symptoms of the virus. Apparently the woman who tested positive was traveling with other family members and they are being tested. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briguy071 Posted March 13, 2020 #35 Share Posted March 13, 2020 They will not test unless we have travelled to affected areas such as China and Korea. I think it crazy since there has been an official guest that tested positive. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRgymnast Posted March 13, 2020 #37 Share Posted March 13, 2020 There is confusion regarding this bc Summit departed PR on Feb 29, not Mar 1. Summit was in St Thomas on Mar 1. A Carnival Fascination cruise fits the itinerary perfectly. So this is likely typical news mistake. We are trying to find clarification. Someone posted on a FB group that Celebrity says this is not true for Summit. I don't have confirmation of that, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briguy071 Posted March 13, 2020 #38 Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) That’s correct. Our summit cruise departed February 29 not March 1st. I will agree that’s it’s likely a mistake Edited March 13, 2020 by Briguy071 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted March 13, 2020 #39 Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) SUMMIT Cancellation progress....( posting here and on main CC bd) We cancelled one pre paid Specialty Dining and pre paid Excursions on 3/6 on the Cruise Planner. These were orig billed for a 2 person total but dining was credited back pp and total excursions were credited back pp to the card. It did all add up to what we paid. We cancelled the cruise itself on 3/7 with a Celeb res specialist..Nothing has come back yet on our card. We expect a credit to our card pp for 50% of the cruise fare plus taxes and fees pp and eventually a Future Cruise Credit pp for 50% of the cruise fare. Will post when that comes through. We lost the OBC, which was expected ;and probably are out the Cruise Care cost b/c being from NY, we had to buy from a sep entity than X..I will call them later to confirm...normally that would have come back as well but no option here. We also lost a very small amt for an extra evac and med policy that we usually buy from another company. Hope this assists those still deciding . Hope thise still going will have a wonderful time. We just did not want the extra stress or need to run around now to get a med note. Best wishes! Edited March 13, 2020 by hcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I briefed the T&C's of the offer when it came out, hoping to cancel and rebook for lower fares on upcoming cruise, but it said they would not be issued until I believe 10 days after cancellation.

boutit Posted March 13, 2020 #42 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Glad that I cancelled, would be boarding tomorrow. News article specifically states "Celebrity". Article may have the date of embarkation wrong. I hate it for those currently aboard if it is the Summit.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare firegal2539 Posted March 13, 2020 #44 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I am not absolutely positive but I believe it was the Summit that was sailing out of Puerto Rico. I believe it is the only ship the Celebrity has that sails from San Juan and the port calendar shows it being in San Juan on those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so lucky on my B2B2B. Final payment was made before all this hit the fan. So now I'm stuck with a huge FCC which I may or may not be able to use.
