Celebrity Cruises price drops after booking

Celebrity's Best Price Guarantee allows an eligible lower fare to be reviewed before final payment or within 24 hours of booking. The replacement fare must meet the program's deposit-type and promotion rules.

Current official policy reviewed

Before final payment

Celebrity says an eligible booking may receive a price adjustment or an available higher-category upgrade. If already paid in full before the due date, a refund may be issued.

After final payment

Within 24 hours of booking, the same adjustment rules may apply. More than 24 hours after booking and after final payment, Celebrity describes a possible complimentary upgrade rather than a general refund, subject to availability.

What needs to match

Lower fares offered through Celebrity's website, reservation desk or onboard Future Cruise program. Refundable-deposit bookings can use either deposit type; non-refundable-deposit bookings can be repriced only to the same fare type.

Important exclusions

Some promotions are excluded. Confirm the same sailing, category, occupancy and included benefits. After final payment and more than 24 hours after booking, an upgrade requires an available higher category priced no higher than the booked room.

  • Older Cruise with Confidence pages describe a temporary program that ended; use the current Best Price Guarantee page.
  • Verify what happens to every included perk before changing offers.

What to do when CruiseGem finds a lower price

  1. 1Capture the lower fare or offer while it remains bookable.
  2. 2Compare the exact stateroom category and guest count.
  3. 3Call Celebrity or contact the travel advisor that owns the booking.

Say that you found a potentially lower comparable fare and ask for a review. Do not cancel the existing reservation until the booking owner explains the net result in writing.

Frequently asked questions

Am I guaranteed the potential savings CruiseGem found?

No. CruiseGem can identify an observed lower price, but only the cruise line or advisor controlling the booking can decide whether your reservation qualifies.

Could repricing remove my onboard credit or perks?

Yes. A new promotion can change deposits, onboard credit, drinks, Wi-Fi, gratuities, cabin assignment, and cancellation terms. Compare the net value before agreeing.

Should I call or contact my travel advisor?

If an advisor owns the reservation, contact that advisor. Direct bookings are generally handled by the cruise line.
