Sea38 Posted November 28, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 28, 2023 As some of my future cruise drink packages came down in price I cancelled them and re-booked them at the cheaper BF rate 😊, any idea of approx time it takes for the refund to go back on your CC for the original drink packages I bought? Thank you 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jelayne Posted November 28, 2023 #4 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Generally they are processed within a day by X but the credit card companies can take a couple of days to a week to post the refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare prmssk Posted November 28, 2023 #5 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I cancelled and re-booked a shore excursion after business hours on 11/21 and don't have the credit yet on my credit card. Based on past experience, I expect to see it here in the next couple days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted November 28, 2023 #6 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I did this on Nov.8 and don't see a credit yet. I have called X and they verified it was done on their end. Guess I will call Visa tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted November 28, 2023 #7 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I had a refund processed by X on 11/25 and it showed on my credit card yesterday 11/27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea38 Posted November 28, 2023 Author #8 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Sounds like it’s how long is a piece of string then?! Tomorrow will be a week, think I will start chasing after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedIguana Posted November 28, 2023 #9 Share Posted November 28, 2023 The actual time for the refund to appear may also depend more on the issuing bank vs Celebrity. At least that is what I have been lead to believe. My credit union cards tend to be pretty quick, as in days, not weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare prmssk Posted November 28, 2023 #10 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Since my post an hour ago, my refund has shown up in my account (6 days since I made the cancellation). I agree that the length of time it takes to show up is very dependent on your credit card issuer. Some are a lot faster to post refunds than others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DaKahuna Posted November 28, 2023 #11 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I always use OBC for purchases pre-cruise and the refund is within a minute or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us steerage class folks often do not have enough OBC to fully cover some purchases, and often rely on a mix of OBC and credit card, or just the card. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand and appreciate that. I do get shareholder OBC and that sometimes may cover an inexpensive shore excursion. I do sometimes use my CC for larger ticket items to get the rewards points.

doghog Posted November 28, 2023 #16 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I liked to get a refund on the drink package for the drinks I (we) didn't have during the cruise. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshinegirl89 Posted November 28, 2023 #17 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Never got a refund from a Nov 1st cancelation. Celebrity said they processed it and AmEx said they never received it. Guess I'm out a couple hundred bucks. Not going to lie- leaves a really bad taste in my mouth a few weeks before our cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won’t be giving up on mine as it’s well over £1000 due back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can raise with Amex. You’ll have proof of the refund presumably (an email from celebrity or a screenshot of the cancellation) as proof.
