I appreciate everyone's insights and feedback. Thank you.

Unfortunately, it was a 5 minute conversation as we traveled together this morning. I plan on trying to get more information but clearly she was upset over the experience. I don't believe she used a travel agent since she indicated that she reached out to Celebrity directly.

While I have not traveled on Celebrity, I have cruised a number of other cruise lines. It has always been my experience that if the cruise line cancels a cruise that they offer you an alternate date for the cruise (if available) or offer you a full refund. In the case of my friend, that is not what happened. She booked a cruise on Celebrity for 2 years from now. She paid for the cruise in full at the time of the booking. Approximately 3 weeks later, she received notice that Celebrity was cancelling her cruise and suspending that itinerary. Since there were no alternative dates available for the trip she booked, she requested a refund. What she received was her money back MINUS the deposit of $500.00. She has contacted Celebrity several times but has been unable to obtain the full refund she was due. Has anyone else had this experience? Is this a Celebrity policy? I would appreciate the communities insight. Thanks.

In the Observation Lounge due to the weather. Not seeing too many beaded/ festive people. Where are you all at? 🍾🎊🎉🚢

Doesn't look like the weather is going to cooperate for our sail away gettogether on Deck 8 so it looks like we'll be on 17 in the Observation Lounge. Looking forward to getting on board and starting our vacation. 4-28+0600.pdf

Since I typically consume enough for both of us it is generally not a question 🙂

I brought snacks with me last year on the Gem out of NYC. They were packed in one of my carry-on bags which they did not check. The snacks weren't for me - I agree there is more than enough food choices for guests on the ship. I brought them to give out to the crew. These folks don't get off the ship much and what's available to them food wise is very limited so it's nice to give them something different after all those months. They were individually packaged chip bags and were very well received by the crew members who got them.
