LLWS_Uncle_Rick Posted February 24, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Today Royal Caribbean changed the final payment date from 90 days to 60 days for June cruises. Has anyone heard if Celebrity will follow suit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TowandaUK Posted February 24, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 24, 2022 We are cruising at the end of July. Yesterday our cruise planner showed final payment due 21st May. Today it says “payment due by undefined”. Looks like a change may be on the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on Reflection end of July, ours still showing May 6th. Hopefully not another cancellation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deferring the final payment date is not a concern for cruise line based itinerary cancelation. Just the opposite. If it is done it would be to allow booked passengers extra (30 days) time to determine the protocols likely in place with their sailing v them opting out at 90 days should things appear uncertain to help preserve existing - and potentially new - bookings. It is a good thing. Previous RCCL cruises had the final payment date extended to 30 days prior to sailing. Assuming Celebrity follows suit, this would be a step move - and likely the last one - in place of the standard 90 day final payment window.

As of this morning final payment due on March 9 (approximately 90days). RCCL just made that announcement yesterday. If Celebrity is going to follow suit I would think they would typically do so by today or tomorrow. They may not, however, as RCCL caters primarily to families and with the different covid protocols with them and the higher volatility with family cancelations with protocol uncertainty, etc., they would be IMO more inclined to want to preserve their bookings by offering the delayed final payment. They moved to a 30 day window last fall for bookings through April - this seems to be just another step for them before returning to the typical 90 day window.

Saab4444 Posted March 3, 2022 #14 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Any news or rumours on this topic? I do not want to pay in full for our June Baltic cruise now. 30 more days would help to have a better view on the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted March 3, 2022 #16 Share Posted March 3, 2022 We had to pay for 2 of our 3 April cruises 90 day in advance and then they changed the last one to 60 days. Even after the change I contacted my TA and the computer showed it still at 90 days. She called her Celebrity Rep and confirmed so I postponed payment to 60. I think they were seeing so may cancellations at the 90 payment period they were forced to shift to 60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've followed very closely this thread, since I have to make FP for our June 13rd cruise in the next couple of days.... Nothing so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
