I have a Med cruise on Connie for September 2021. Saw the notice about the cancellations and forgot about the May deadline. Tried to Lift and Shift but, of course, it said my sailing was not eligible. I have not received the email someone mentioned above cancelling my cruise. This is the second cancelled today. I'm sure X is busy busy busy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw some letters that said you could rebook any other sailing on the same class of ship for this summer at the same per diem rate/perks you have now. That would mean you could move to Infinity if it made sense? This is not L&S and is only available for a couple of weeks if applicable to your sailing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might change our minds after visiting Athens. We are spending 4 pre cruise days in Athens, so we will get to see a lot of the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbenboys Posted January 14, 2021 #32 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Well yesterday we video chatted with dear friends in England. As a group we decided to move our June 2021 cruise to June 2022. Then this afternoon I came here. To see that our Aug 2021 cruise on Connie will not happen. I did look at some of the other European cruises, but prices were just to high to do a repeat cruise. So we'll do a land vacation to Germany and England if possible. Emailed TA to hold a suite on the April 2023 TP on Solstice. We have been wanting to visit Disney Japan, both parks. Now we only have one cruise before the 4 May 2022 use by date for our FCC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is Apex and Infinity from Barcelona, I was hoping to do an Infinity cruise Nov 7, 2021 from Lisbon to Barcelona. Maybe the reverse of what you wrote about? Haven't booked yet. Holding my breath that it doesn't go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules27556 Posted January 20, 2021 #35 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Hi all, I had a TA on the Constellation booked for October 2021. I received the Dear Guest notice with guidelines. Since the only other TA option from Rome was the Reflection I booked that trip. No discount as this is a different class of ship. However we did get the $100 OBC. My Constellation booking was made last September and was a terrific rate and Classic Bev pkg. The TA on the Reflection is almost 3X. My choice. The rates are also much higher across the board since Always Included was included. My Celebrity cruise lady indicated that bookings down due to COVID and they pulled Constellation. Let's face it, the Reflection is larger ( can accommodate Constellation ppl) and I am confident that although higher cost it should please. Vice Versa probably would be more chance of unhappy people.

Mr. Click Posted January 21, 2021 #36 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Anyone else still waiting to get the official email? I need it to send to my insurer to get a premium refund. TA has already put in for our deposit refund. It was supposed to be Oct 14 on the Connie from Venice...oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked two cruises directly that were cancelled and I never received notice. I found out on my Roll Call and it was confirmed by the Celebrity person I booked with.

Your travel agent should have received notice of cancelled sailings from Celebrity that they could then forward to you. Ask them as Celebrity would not notify you direct if booked through a TA.

You have to go a little further but try booking a room!! I'm booked on 4th October 21 and have just checked out 3rd Oct 22 to look at options. The site says the 2022 cruise is sold out YES SURE!!! I put a hold on Constellation 6/23/22...but another site - checking cabins available - told me the cruise was sold out. When I checked the 'other' site later it had some cabins available. Something is going on. I have a note out to my X rep looking for answers. First response, everything for that date is in place. No answer to my 2nd question re the sorry state its in per reviews... yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
