As is so often the case, those you speak to at Celebrity, and frequently their supervisors, are not kept up to date. Celebrity published a revision to its policy late yesterday, and those with mixed Pfizer/Moderna doses are now accepted as fully vaccinated. So your two friends are good to go. To repeat the new policy:

 

Will I be considered fully vaccinated if my first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine is from one manufacturer and the second dose is from another?

Following CDC guidelines, Celebrity will consider a guest ‘fully vaccinated’ with proof of vaccination that can include mixed doses of the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines only.  No other mixed vaccine doses will qualify a guest as ‘fully vaccinated”. Some ports of call may not accept mixed vaccine doses and therefore could restrict those guests from going ashore.

Thank you. I just saw this on another thread too.

The US and Canadian websites have been updated to reflect that Celebrity will accept mixed does of only Moderna and Pzifer vaccines.  

 

I just spoke to Celebrity on the telephone and this is the exact opposite of what they told me when I called to clarify - they said no mixed vaccines period. Clearly they have inconsistencies in what they're communicating. 

I called Celebrity today to seek clarification. The media stories are not consistent and trying to locate the answers on the website may be challenging for some. The representative (who also confirmed with a superior), confirmed Celebrity is not allowing any guests with mixed vaccines at this time, however they said this may change - as everyone naturally assumes. We're booked for an Alaskan cruise from Vancouver in May 2022 with three staterooms. Four of our six Canadian passengers are double dose Pfizer recipients so they're good to go and two have mixed MRNA vaccines (Pfizer & Moderna). Those two guests are the 'challenge' for us at this time. Only the deposit has been paid but we all intend to cruise and are excited about it so hopefully this works it self out in the meantime. We also booked in advance of this vaccine policy coming into effect. No country to my knowledge has allowed a third dose of any vaccine to 'rectify' the situation. We're booked in a nonrefundable fare category, so if Celebrity only gives a credit, the credit will be useless to the mixed vaccine couple unless the vaccine policy changes. I had a lengthy discussion with the representative about all the above, their best advice was to sit tight for the time being and keep in contact to see how this evolves. Our final deposits are not due until February 2022. What should be a happy experience becomes stressful when the bureaucrats around the world cannot communicate and give consistent advice - but that's in an ideal world which we don't have. For now, we will sit tight and see how this unfolds.
