Thanks all, getting my points for booking was what I hoped for and was leaning towards and it's good to know that is what will happen.

If you book online with a third party or for that matter with a travel agent, instead of directly with Celebrity Cruises, do you receive Captain's Club Points with Celebrity? I know they mention barring point credit for travel agents fare but I believe they are talking about a greatly discounted fare for only travel agents, to get the agents to book the cruise line more. I don't think they are referring to the price a consumer gets using the agent. The point may be moot as the discounted price is 450 dollars cheaper so would take forever to get any benefits worth that. I still would like to know if I am forgoing any points by using a third party of any kind to book. This is a cut and paste from a massive document of fine print on their website. Complimentary sailings, Seminar at Sea, Travel Agent rates, and employee rates do not earn Club Points in the program. Reduced rate upgrades, pre-cruise and onboard, will earn Club Points at the original stateroom category purchased, and NOT the category of the upgraded stateroom.
