      I have sailed on Celebrity at least five times and was looking forward to another wonderful cruise when I learned by chance that my cruise to ******* on the Eclipse on May 19th was cancelled. Booking #*******.I booked a cruise to ******* to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary with Vacations to Go on October 27, 2023. The cruise date was June 30, 2024.Two days later we learned that some of our friends were booked on the May 19th Bermuda cruise.We thought it would be nice to cruise with friends so we thought wed see if we could change our cruise to May 19th. While I was at work, my husband called and made the changes directly with Celebrity Cruises.All seemed well until I tried to access my cruise at the Celebrity website last week. I kept getting an error message when entering my booking #.I called Celebrity and was informed that my cruise had been cancelled due to lack of payment. I was shocked to say the very least as I am listed as the primary contact and was never contacted about payment or notified that my cruise was cancelled.My husband was never made aware that we had to call or pay online the final payment to Celebrity. We thought it would automatically be charged to the credit card we used for the $500 deposit.I now realize that my husband should have called Vacations To Go but he made an honest mistake in calling Celebrity and I was unaware.I was told that the May 19th cruise was sold out and that I lost my $500 deposit.I spoke to customer service supervisor ******* and explained that I never received any emails regarding final payment or cancellation. She said she saw them in her system and gave me dates. I asked her to forward the emails to me as I never received them and she said she could not.As of right now, I have no cruise, lost $500 and my husband has anxiety over this entire situation.

      My husband and I sailed with Celebrity Cruises on the Celebrity Summit from April 1, 2024 - April 6, 2024. We lost electricity twice and also lost water on the night of formal night for several hours. We also had no TV for two days which was very disappointing as it was during both of our days at sea. We notified the front desk, but they stayed many people had this issue and were unable to assist.

      I purchased a cruise on the Celebrity Summit for 04/01/24-04/06/24. Celebrity did not provide a safe or sanity cruise ship. The Summit was badly in need of repairs and it was not seaworthy. My husband was injured on a door leading out to a deck. The door had a jagged piece of metal sticking out and it gashed my husband's hand as he turned the door handle. My husband immediately sought medical attention on the ship and notified guest relations. My husband is immunocompromised, so this was a serious injury. The guest relations director was rude and said it was a minor cut, and that Celebrity didn't want people like him on their ships. Our port in ****** was cancelled, due to a bow thruster issue, causing interruption. We lost power twice on the boat, and a water main broke. In total, we spent more than five hours without power, without A/C, without drinking water, without showers, without the ability to wash our hands and without restrooms. We witnessed people stuck in glass elevators who were frantic! We witnessed flooding, the halls and our room smelled like a sewer, and brown water came from the sinks and toilets. The food in the main dining room took hours to arrive, and when it did, it was obvious that the food was left for hours at room temperature (such as melted ice cream).

      I am rejecting this response because: Celebrity cruises is not taking any responsibility for the poor condition of their ship (the Summit), the lack of communication from the captain, the inappropriate and rude guest relations director "******", and the unsanitary and unsafe conditions.  This sailing was a disaster with multiple incidents and issues that Celebrity could have prevented.

      My family and I were onboard the Celebrity Summit April 1-6 2024.During this time, we lost power and water twice, for extended periods of time. Not only this, but we submitted a request for baby food for my infant son 6 weeks before boarding the ship, only to be told that there was no baby food available.I have reached out to the company directly only to be told that the complimentary drink I received should be sufficient compensation for these events. I dont understand how I could even receive a complimentary drink after paying $300+ for a drink package, but even so, this is nowhere near the amount of compensation guests on this cruise should receive. This was our first cruise and our first vacation with our infant son. It was a horrific situation to be in the middle of the ocean with no power or water. It has been made even worse as a result of the terrible customer service we have received in light of this event. We paid thousands of dollars to go on this trip only to be left without basic necessities and no food for our child.

      Down payment of $200 in May 2023. Paid the remaining balance of $1727.72 on December 18, 2023 We were on the Summit April 1-6th and we experienced multiple issues. After being turned away from porting in ******- The port pilot and captain agreed it was not safe to dock in ****** (understandable).We were going very slowly to ****** because they decided that we would have 2 sea days to ******. On Wednesday afternoon we lost electrical power several times. One time lasted over an hour. The ship was just floating. People were stuck in elevators and had to be rescued. Several floors had been without water, air conditioning or internet. During the night several hallways and staterooms flooded from the ceiling.This continued into Thursday. It appears the issues had not affected propulsion but were affecting many other systems on the ship.The captain had not been good in giving information. Needless to say many people were upset and customer service was not handling it very well.For ourselves- we had lost water, no electricity, no working toilets, stuck in an elevator - WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! VERY SCARY Contacted customer service on April 9. 2024 and were told there was nothing they could do.From a health standpoint- it was very alarming. No water to wash hands after NO running water/toilets....Had we had the opportunity to get ourselves OFF the ship - we would have!! We were unfortunately IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN and this was not an option!We certainly DID NOT receive the promises or amenities that Celebrity Cruise Line led us to believe we would have!

      $2300 paid to the company on 09Nov2023 $1000 paid to the company on 17Jan24 the company offered a luxury cruise experience and 3 ports calls One of the port calls was not provided because the ship was experiencing mechanical issues My first room(2115)flooded with several inches of water when a steam pipe ruptured(which was incredibly dangerous considering my husband and I were mere feet away when it happened), we had to move twice in order to accommodate another family who had to put towels down on the floor of their room because their room also flooded but there was no room to accommodate all 4 of them other than ours(3028). Both of the new rooms(3028 and 7028) we had were of lower quality and the last room(7028)shook during live music and there was a door between us and another person in our room that was so poorly insulated we could hear her breathing, taking clothes off, getting into bed, not to mention any tv, eating or talking she did. There was a second pipe burst on floor seven that resulted in the entire hallway stinking like urine. Power outages resulted in my disabled mother not being able to move freely about the boat for several hours and shut the wifi down so we were no longer able to communicate with our party. The water was shut down so we could not shower or use the bathroom. The manager in the Effy shop yelled at me and my mother for asking(calmly and politely)to use our gift voucher and then told us he would fire Inielda if we used it. The entire boat smelled of urine especially in the bathrooms where many of the stall locks are broken enough that I got stuck in two separate stalls. After speaking to several customer service department employees we were offered $526 off our next cruise. In order to be compensated we would have to spend more money with this cruise line.

      I took a cruise on the ship Celebrity Equinox in between March 4th and March 14th 2024.On this ship operates an Art ******* selling artwork to the the cruise participants, directly or through auctions.On March 11th, the Art ******* organized a contest that consisted of guessing the weight of a painted dragon bronze. Please see the attached picture. A "fabulous prize" was promised to the person guessing closest to the actual weight of the sculpture. I entered the contest, filling out on a piece of carton my guess of 85 lbs.In a couple of days, I asked the Art *******'s employee (the same one who received my entry on the piece of carton), about the weight of that sculpture. She told me that it was 89.3 lbs. Considering that I was very close (less than 5% difference), I asked about my prize. However, I was told that "someone else guessed it right on the money", therefore I got nothing. In my opinion, guessing "right on the money" at such weight, does not seem plausible.I am asking Celebrity Cruises to find out that what was the truth and, if not true, I would like to receive the "fabulous prize" promised. Celebrity Cruises did not organized this contest, but I think they shall be responsible for the activities they are hosting on their ships.I would like to mention that I was not told that the contest was linked to any auction, or any other sales by the Art *******.

      I am rejecting this response because: The response does not mean or prove anything. It is their fault if they do not have records. Actually, it proves the shady way they conduct these "activities". Do they have a record of me being a participant? (because I know I did entry the contest in person). Or, do they have a record of the winner? Celebrity Cruises and their subcontractors prove again the minimal rating they get with BBB is correct.

      Sincerely,

      Dear ********************: 

      Thank you for contacting the Better Business Bureau regarding your Celebrity Silhouette sailing. On behalf of Celebrity Cruises, I appreciate having this opportunity to respond to the issue you have shared with your rebuttal. 

      Again, I am sorry that you were not the winner. There are no records of you being a customer or a winner with *********. As I understand your frustration, contests, as you know, are by entry in person. Just because a participant does not win does not mean that the contest is not true.  

      Upon checking, you have not called us yet to bring this to our attention, if you would like to, you may contact us ************. 

      We only wish you the best. 

      Sincerely,

      Billing Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      Prior to taking a cruise on Celebrity in Dec 2023, I was provided with a $200.00 on board ship credit as compensation for a Celebrity offer that I was unable to receive. This credit was never applied to my account and as a result, I was overcharged when the ship billed my credit card for charges incurred during the cruise. I have written several emails to Celebrity executives as well as the Celebrity services and to date not even a response. I attempted to dispute with my credit card company but they said I need to resolve with the cruise company. I have documentation and emails of everything. Please let me know if you have any questions or need any additional information.Attached are copies of my:1.booking confirmation as of Dec 1, 2023. The $200.00 onboard credit is clearly visible however, it never made it to my account on the ship. 2.Final Guest Statement as of Dec 7, 2023 where no credits were applied to my account.3.Feedback survey email dated on Dec 9, 2023. I had previously reported this issue but no one ever reached out or got back to me which I find extremely poor. Why ask for feedback and then ignore it?

      Better Business Bureau:

      I was chasing Celebrity for months on this matter.  Thanks for your assistance.  As soon as you contacted Celebrity, they reached out to me and I have received the credit to my credit card.  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

      Sincerely,
