Celebrity cruise air?

[scubarn1]

If a reservation is made directly with Celebrity and includes cruise air, can the cruise air portion be canceled? and is there a penelty charge?

Booked the NZ/HI cruise and was wondering can the cruise air be cancelled as we are planning to fly in a week early to sightsee, and would rather try to book are own flights instead of Celebrity custom air doing so.

 

Thanks!

If it's before the final payment date, yes, you can cancel the air without a penalty. I often book the cruise with the cruise line air, if I have lots of time before the final payment. My husband travels for his job and has lots of frequent flier miles. Since I know what the price of the cruise line air is, I can then look into mileage tickets or getting cheaper tickets. If I am successful, I cancel the cruise line air. If I can't get a better deal on my own, I already have the cruise line air in place.

If you are within 60 days prior to sailing, the cruise line may charge a penalty. I've never been in that situation so I have to advice to give in that case.

I just cancelled my Celebrity Air for my cruise that leaves in 2 weeks. I was able to find better (i.e. direct) & cheaper flights myself. Celebrity indicated that they would charge a $75 per person cancel fee (still I got a better deal even considering this penalty).

 

My question is how long before I see the credit showing up on my credit card?

As with anything else that is supposed to be refunded to my credit card, is should show up in about 2 billing cycles.
