sandancer Posted September 7, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Can anyone confirm that Celebrity do not accept Amex cards for either paying for the cruise or onboard account? I thought I read it somewhere but I can't remember where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galavant3 Posted September 7, 2013 #2 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I just paid for a cruise, including onboard expenses, with Amex last month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandancer Posted September 7, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Thanks - that's just the answer I was looking for. I was so sure I had seen somewhere that they didn't take it. Want to get the air miles by using this card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phxazzcruisers Posted September 7, 2013 #4 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Amex is just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon stingray Posted September 7, 2013 #5 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I have only ever used my Amex to pay for cruises and our onboard accounts. If you are booking though a travel agent, I know of one of the big UK based cruise agents which does NOT take Amex, which is one of the reasons why I will not deal with them.

sandancer Posted September 7, 2013 Author #6 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Thanks Simon. No, we don't use the TA I am fairly sure you refer to. I am not a fan of big agencies. The reason I ask is because the TA we use has a system where the payments are made directly to Celebrity and not to the agency. No idea how this works but that's what happens. If Celebrity do accept Amex then it works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I booked my last Celebrity cruise through Amex travel in order to receive the double points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted September 7, 2013 #8 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I use an AE card for all my cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Celebrity do accept Amex then it works well. I had never heard of a TA not accepting certain types of credit, as you and Simon a taking about. So Just to be sure, I would call your TA directly to ask. It would stink if the day your payment was due, you couldn't make it. I love Amex and use it everywhere I can. Including with Celebrity!

sandancer Posted September 8, 2013 Author #10 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Thanks Mike. We are both from the UK. I don't think Amex is used as widely here as in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
