Celebrity Cruises makes changes to Mercury sailings
Celebrity Cruises has switched the arrival and departure point of its ship Mercury from Seatttle to Vancouver.
The cruise line said this would offer guests more time in select ports of call and a better arrival time for viewing Alaska’s ice-blue Hubbard Glacier on its seven-night Alaska sailings in 2007.
Guests currently holding reservations with deposits made for cruises from Seattle between May 4 and September 14 2007 will receive $100 per stateroom onboard credit.
Celebrity’s Air/Sea department will make the necessary changes for any Air/Sea guests whose air travel is impacted by the shift to Vancouver.
Cruise-only guests who incur a fee due to changing their air reservations will be reimbursed up to $100 per person, providing proof of the air change fee is provided.
Celebrity said it is proactively contacting all travel agents with clients holding reservations affected by this change, but agents are invited to call its re-accommodation desk at 0845 165 9090.
