Did Celebrity Cruises Give Chair Hogs the GREEN LIGHT?!
Celebrity Reflection Cruise ShipCelebrity Cruises Cruise LineRoyal Caribbean Cruise LineHolland America Group Cruise Company
A couple paid for their Holland America cruise in full—then received a demand for another $1,530. Holland America called it a pricing error, but should the cruise line honor the fare it accepted? Plus, Celebrity is moving final payment earlier for new bookings, Carnival has confirmed its non-smoking casino options, and a Celebrity Reflection passenger says crew told her chair-saving rules have changed. I share my concerns about earlier payment deadlines, my experiences with smoke-free casinos on Princess, and what I plan to find out aboard Celebrity Reflection. What do you think?
