Whether booking over the phone or with an agent at the Future Cruise desk while onboard. At least you have a recourse for action if something isn't correct booking over the phone v someone said blah, blah, blah on CC when it turns out to be incorrect. When you get the invoice or booking confirmation then you know what you get. So if an agent says something wrong you can correct it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you have a recourse for action if something isn't correct booking over the phone v someone said blah, blah, blah on CC when it turns out to be incorrect. Same here. When I am searching for the cruise I want, I have my trusty notepad and pen on the desk. I write down ALL of the particulars for the cruise, suite, perks, insurance and the cost of each as shown in the booking (almost booking). Then I call Celebrity, always get a very helpful rep on the phone, we review what I have and what they show, voila. Once that is done, they send me an email confirmation, we stay on the line, I review and double voila. Never had a problem doing it this way.

Since @Froufiewas booking on line and had questions/concerns is why I suggested/recommended calling Celebrity and book over the phone with a live agent instead of asking on CC and possibly getting multiple answers. I like my way a lot better. I'm not saying some here on CC don't share excellent advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGW59 Posted October 9, 2021 #331 Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) On 10/7/2021 at 4:13 AM, the penguins said: Allowing for tips AI pricing adds $100 per person per day to cover drinks and WiFi to the basic price. Figures are from Celebrity which gives you the breakdown when you cancel a booking that included AI. In comparison if you book a simply sail price ( very limited and guarantee cabins) Celebrity discounts the price by around $25 per person per day giving them a profit of $75. Solo passengers pay for 2 lots of tips, 2 internet packages and 2 drinks packages. My vote goes for a fair system of basic including tips everything else optional. Just (again) did a mock booking, Beyond, TA, Oct 2022. GTY Suite, only thing I included was insurance, total cost for 2 pax, $11,971. Also compared that to an S3, with AI and insurance, total cost for 2 pax, $13,555. According to my big number abacus, that is $132/day more or $66/day/pp. IMO a very good deal.

You should be able to request your TA send you a copy of the Celebrity guest copy. Mine does when i ask. I USED to use a huge online TA who's invoices never included the perks on it. They also charged a cancellation fee for their agency. I haven't used them for many years. I never trusted them after they stuck my credit card for a cancellation fee four months AFTER the insurance paid and closed out the claim. Otherwise I could have been reimbursed. My current TA does not charge cancellation fees. Edited October 10, 2021 by ChucktownSteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I click on that to view my booking. Three pages. All my direct Celebrity bookings have been this way. @ChucktownSteveis correct.
