rodndonna Posted November 1, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I'm pretty sure the answer is "NO" but never hurts to check ... If I have to cancel/rebook a Celebrity cruise (with the $100/pp charge) can it be moved to an RCL cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DaKahuna Posted November 1, 2023 #2 Share Posted November 1, 2023 You are correct. The answer is NO. They are two separate companies so funds do not transfer from one to another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted November 1, 2023 #3 Share Posted November 1, 2023 The answer, as you surmised, is no 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truckswain Posted November 1, 2023 #5 Share Posted November 1, 2023 This was two years ago, so many not work today but I did change a Royal Cruise to a Celebrity Cruise by calling RC. I had booked a cruise on Symphony of the Seas while onboard a RC cruise (deposit only). Returning home we decided we wanted to try the Apex (a great decision!) We were within 30 days of the booking, called RC, the agent checked and said yes and transferred the call to a Celebrity agent. I am Diamond on RC but have now sailed on Apex twice, going on Beyond in a week and have two cruises booked on the Ascent next year. I am glad Celebrity accepted the transfer. Point - call and see what they will do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted November 1, 2023 #6 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I think booking on board has different rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally prefer Celebrity, but am interested in a Pacific Coastal itinerary with RCL if it was an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerelmx Posted November 1, 2023 #8 Share Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) You need to cancel X and book RCL Change ship and date on X is very expensive $100 PP for a few clicks on the computer Edited November 1, 2023 by gerelmx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cublet Posted November 2, 2023 #9 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Hello, I was once, and only once, called by X to ask if I would be prepared to change my booking from Royal to X - with a number of added benefits for so doing. This was pre almost everything including the movement of back-office staff from the UK (in my case) to Guatemala so I think there is even less joined-up admin now and opportunities than there was.

Cruise a holic Posted November 2, 2023 #10 Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) Things have changed in the cruise world. It appears that the mission is high profits. Sad, but we do enjoy cruising. We have lowered our expectations. Celebrity has cut butler service off for sky suites, has modified menus- however I heard menus might be improved around thanksgiving.Some cruise lines aren't offering twice a day cabin service, and charge for room service in many categories. They have also increased amounts for tipping- while they should be paying their employees a fair and decent liveable wage and not ask to consumer to pay for this.

Regards, Cublet Thanks. That is actually how we ended up with this particular Celebrity booking. We had an RCL cruise that when cancelled by RCL opened the opportunity to move the cruise to a "similar" Celebrity cruise which we did. That was why I thought "maybe" if we decide to move that Celebrity cruise, we might be able to move it to RCL. The cruise is many months out and we are still undecided, but will certainly ask if/when we decide to move the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pay for it either way. Either the fares go up (like with the Australian bookings), or you tip separately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
