Hi,

As you discovered neither Royal Caribbean or Celebrity have 24-hour
call centers. OTOH, Carnival Cruises does have 24-hour call centers
but not the other Carnival brands. Cruise lines often take sold out
sailings out of their public displays. I am glad it worked out for
you. ;+)

Best regards,

I'm not that familiar with the other cruise lines, but on HAL they have
special pages for guests who have already booked a cruise. To gain
entry you have to key in your booking number and some other
information. Then you can see updates to your itinerary if any and book
excursions or request special services.

Am I mistaken in thinking that other cruise lines offer similar to their
guests?

Hi Brian,

You are correct. Many of the major cruise brands offer on-line
access.

At least on their website HAL appears to mark categories "closed" on sold
out cruises and then doubles or triples the listed prices to reinforce the
point.

That's correct -- on Celebrity, if the original poster has her booking
ID number she can go register on the Celebrity web site, fill in her
documentation, book excursions, etc.

Never said to contact the call center, which most likley is out sourced to a
company working out of a warehouse in Ohio.

If I was as worried as you appeared in your post, I would have called the main
office, where ever it is. They ARE open 24/7.
