vermonter16 Posted May 11, 2020 #176 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Waiting for taxes and fees since March 23 - nada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_ll Posted May 12, 2020 #177 Share Posted May 12, 2020 On April 16, I selected a refund for 2 cabins (booked separately) on the April 25/20 sailing of the Summit. I had used 2 different CC’s for the deposits and a third for the balance on both. On May 8 all funds were back on the cards. While there were 8 or more separate credits to one card, it reconciled to the total amount paid by me. Elapsed time was 22 days, I am impressed by the speed and timeliness of the refund and no hassle. On a less positive note, Princess is on the other extremity. It has been 87 days with them since cancelling Feb 16. I did get airfare and taxes/ port fees back on Feb 17. The cruise fare and a 50% FCC are nowhere to be seen. Calling gets you it might be 60 days from this date or that date. I do send an email to them every day. While I am at it, I did get a refund from United Air in relation to the Celebrity cruise. That took 7 weeks, many phone calls and filing a DOT complaint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoke with Celebrity last week and they had said "give it another 2-3 weeks". Yes, we are also have issues with Princess but have received some compensation from them.

BP99 Posted May 12, 2020 #179 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I filled out the 100% refund online on March 15th. Yesterday (after 55 days) they sent me an email giving me FCC instead of a REFUND. I have seen them do this trick with others on these boards. They will do ANYTHING to prevent you from get your money back!! Now do I have to wait hours on the phone to months to FIX this??

Apparently they've been processing FCCs instead of refunds when you have requested through the online form. My March 15 cruise was cancelled March 13th and I requested 100% refund. Finally April 20th received everything back to credit card but it has been a complete mess. On another cancelled cruise which was split on two credit cards my friend received everything back in a timely manner while I waited 6 weeks for my refund. This baffles me as it was the same reservation number. Celebrity could not provide an explanation as to why this happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehg Posted May 13, 2020 Author #181 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Just to update, we have now received the whole refund from Celebrity. It came in numerous random payments but we have finally had it. 😃 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeroWA Posted May 15, 2020 #182 Share Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) I requested a refund on March 29th for our June 19th Alaska cancelled cruise. We received our full refund today (May 14) for cruise and shore excursions in separate amounts. All my doubts have vanished! Thank you Celebrity Edited May 15, 2020 by GeroWA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be able to do through your TA - I did - or via an email or online to Celebrity. My refund request ended up being a FCC as well. My TA fixed it quickly.

Mj17ak Posted May 15, 2020 #187 Share Posted May 15, 2020 On 17 April, I requested a refund for our 16 May 2020 Galapagos cruise ☹️ and received the credit to my Visa today (4 weeks) - very pleased to see the refund as offered. Am still waiting for a refund from Flights by Celebrity which I knew would be refunded separately. Expect it within the next 30 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My TA also fixed it quickly BUT I am being punished with waiting again. I see many are now getting refunds for much later cruises. But... Again, are they doing ANYTHING to stall some payments? I'm waiting for $10K? Do they get rewarded (bonuses) for errors and making people wait? I hate to be sceptical but many are being subjected to their errors.

gerelmx Posted May 16, 2020 #190 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Today after 4 weeks I receive my money back for the Cancelled summit cruise, the deposits are date May 13 and today is May 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallfir Posted May 16, 2020 #191 Share Posted May 16, 2020 update from prior post --- 70 days and counting. NOT A SINGLE PENNY refunded for anything. NO taxes and fees refunded. NO shore excursion refunded, NO nothing. Now TA is saying 60-90 days and ignoring all the hollow promises Celebrity/RCCL has made in the last 70 days. Pathetic!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISABELLA Posted May 16, 2020 #192 Share Posted May 16, 2020 We applied for a 100% refund on March 15 for cancelled cruise on Reflection 4/3. We got a refund 2 days ago for all but $100. That was a deposit we paid with a credit card we no longer have. So Celebrity said they issue a check after money returned from the CC . Will see... Glad we finally got a refund.

tallfir Posted May 20, 2020 #193 Share Posted May 20, 2020 final update --- after waiting for 73 days, we finally received a credit on visa statement today (5/19/2020) for the shore excursions paid for last December and the taxes and fees also paid when final payment was made in December. We're done! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newcruiserdave Posted June 17, 2020 #195 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I received my deposit from Celebrity on May 25 for our June 2 cruise ($250 per passenger). I made several calls to see about the remainder then last week was told that the remainder was sent back to my big box travel website on May 25th. Apparently my TA had no interest in refunding my money. I have spent the past week trying to get action from them. Today they informed me that they indeed have my money and will get it back to me "in the next week or so." Not that I ever see myself cruising again (all I picture is a floating petri dish) but I'll certainly never use a travel agent whose very name says "con".

opa&oma Posted June 17, 2020 #197 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Exact same scenario with us. And what is so maddening to us is that we're talking about thousands of dollars. Is this even legal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
