Celebrity Cancels One Alaska Sailing!
Hi Everyone,
I received this press release from Celebrity Cruises and thought it would be of interest. If you have missed any of my news' postings, they are available on my web site. Best regards, Ray LIGHTHOUSE TRAVEL 800-719-9917 or 805-566-3905 http://www.lighthousetravel.com Celebrity Cruises Cancels One Alaska Sailing MIAMI, May 10 Celebrity Cruises is canceling one sailing on Summit to replace the starboard thrust bearing in the ship's propulsion system. The ship must enter drydock to replace the bearing, which will result in the cancellation of its May 20 sailing. The ship is expected to return to its scheduled sailings on May 27. The cancelled sailing is a seven-night Alaska cruise from Vancouver to Seward. Summit is currently sailing a 13-night West Coast / Alaska cruise that will end in Vancouver, as scheduled on May 20. Guests booked on the cancelled sailing will receive a full refund and a free Celebrity cruise from North America of up to seven nights, departing on or before September 30, 2007, excluding holiday and Celebrity Xpedition sailings. Travel agents will receive full commissions for the cancelled sailing, plus a $50 rebooking fee per stateroom when their clients reschedule their cruise. "I sincerely apologize to our guests who are affected by this cancelled cruise," said Dan Hanrahan, president of Celebrity Cruises. "Although Summit continues to operate safely, this is a matter that must be addressed now. Our business is to provide the best vacations possible and I regret the disruption this will cause our guests. We will do everything we can to assist them onboard other sailings." Celebrity has established a special help desk to assist guests and travel agents with rebooking, air transportation, land tours and other issues. That toll-free number is 1-888-281-9343. The cancelled cruise is expected to have a negative impact on the earnings of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. of approximately $.04 per share. Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. is a global cruise vacation company that operates Royal Caribbean International and Celebrity Cruises, with a combined total of 29 ships in service and five under construction. The company also offers unique land-tour vacations in Alaska, Canada and Europe through its cruise-tour division. Additional information can be found by contacting your travel professional. -- |

Celebrity Cancels One Alaska Sailing!
That makes me wonder... Since our vacation timeframes are pretty
flexible I wouldn't mind at all getting a full refund and then getting a free cruise on top of that (except for any airfare fees that I might have to suck up if I booked independent air). But I have a question. If we booked a fabulous cabin and then our cruise was canceled, would we be able to rebook our free cruise in the same cabin category? Or does the 'free' cruise really mean the smallest interior cabin on the ship? Just wondering |

I feel badly for people who have to "sign up" for their vacation weeks at the beginning of the year (usually by order of seniority). What do they do? We are leaving on the 25th of June with our whole family (7 of us). It is my oldest's honeymoon too! How do you reschedule that?? I feel badly for the passengers that are affected. Momma |

"Everyboysmomma" :
all planned and you find out 10 days before hand that you have no vacation? I feel badly for people who have to "sign up" for their vacation weeks at the beginning of the year (usually by order of seniority). What do they do? While true for some passengers, for the majority getting a full refund means they automaticly have the money to go on a diffirent vacation that they had planned and could not afford to do both. Or just stay at hom and throw a party or two. If they not know how to get the deep-discounts they even have enough left over to hire maid services to clean up. Me, it would be trip to the cabin with enough money to buy only the best in food. I already can see the lobsters with butter waiting. We are leaving on the 25th of June with our whole family (7 of us). It is my oldest's honeymoon too! How do you reschedule that?? I feel badly for the passengers that are affected. Momma You can't. But can you honestly say that your honeymooning couple would not like something else also? A trip to the Falls? A stay in Las Vegas? A beach hotel in Florida? White water-rafting { nothing bring couples into each other's arms like white water }, you got the money, blow it on something really fun! And send them on the cruise on thier one year honeymoon if they are not due soon.

"its_my_dime" (hold the .spam) :
I'm beginning to feel that your critics have a point. They would if not for the fact I can filter out all of Ray's posts with a single filter line in my OS. Whereas his so-called critics keep changing thier names to by-pass filters. Post false usenet guide-lines. And sure use some foul lanuage - none of which I have seen Ray do.
