Question

Are any discounts available?

Answer

Celebrity occasionally offers discounts for seniors (55+), US military, law enforcement, fire fighters and EMTs. Discounts may also be available based on your state of residency. Just ask John to see if you can qualify for a discounted rate.

Question

Did you say there are flexible payment options available?

Answer

Absolutely! We understand that this is not inexpensive and we chose this cruise because flexible payment options are offered. Hopefully this will allow many of you to join us for the celebration while also enjoying a wonderful vacation. PAYMENT OPTIONS 1. Celebrity has a no-interest option that allows you to schedule multiple payments in the amount of your choice. After you make your initial deposit, the payments are then deducted from your debit or credit card on the specified date(s) with the final payment completed by December 29, 2025. 2. Expedia offers a "Buy Now Pay Later" option through Flex Pay which can be used for total or partial payment. With Flex Pay, you can spread your payments between 3 and 24 months to suit your needs. Please note that Flex Pay is only available to US residents. Should you wish to explore either option, please contact John for more information.

Question

When does this have to be paid in full?

Answer

Final payment is due to Celebrity Cruises on or before December 29, 2025, unless you have made flexible payment arrangements.

Question

How much are gratuities?

Answer

Gratuities are additional and can be paid prior to sailing or charged to your onboard account: Inside, Oceanview and Balcony - $126 pp Concierge Class and AquaClass - $133 pp The Retreat - $161 pp

Question

Question

Can I invite other people?

Answer

By all means as the cruise is not restricted to invited wedding attendees only. Please note, however, that access to the actual ceremony may be limited by space constraints. Just speak with John or Chris if you would like to add additional guests.

Question

Okay, I'm in! What do I do next?

Answer

Yay! We are "beyond" excited to have you join us! The first step is to reply to the "All Aboard" in the RSVP section of this website using your given name. If you have issues, please contact John or Chris directly. Second, you will need to place your deposit to reserve your stateroom and John will be happy to assist you with this. While you do not need to make your deposit at the same time you RSVP, your attendance is not official until your deposit has been made. In general, deposits are $250 per person for standard staterooms, Concierge Class and AquaClass. Deposits for The Retreat will be higher.

Question

When do I need to RSVP and make my deposit?

Answer

Please RSVP when you have made a decision as to if you will be able to attend. The sooner we receive responses and can establish a guest count, the more time we have to work with Celebrity to create a fabulous experience for those attending. We strongly encourage you to make your reservation as soon as possible to lock-in current pricing as the rates have been trending upwards. If you would like a Single Infinite Balcony or Expedia Exclusive Stateroom (EES), please keep in mind that there are only limited quantities of both and they often sell out. Additionally, if you are hoping to be in a prime location on the ship, please book early while all stateroom categories are available to avoid disappointment. EES prices do not change but they are increasing for non-EES staterooms. If you book a non-EES stateroom, your rate will never increase after you've made the deposit but John can often get you a better deal IF the price happens to decrease before final payment is due. Because of the current popularity of cruises, price drops are not common.

Question

Do I have to book through John or can I book directly with Celebrity?

Answer

Although you can book independently through Celebrity or other channels, we encourage you to book through John so that we can add you directly to our wedding group. As part of our official group, we can help manage your reservation so that you are included in any important communications regarding the cruise and the celebration. If you would like an Expedia Exclusive Stateroom, they can only be booked through John.

Question

Can I book the cruise through John if I don't live in the US?

Answer

Yes! John can accept overseas bookings. Please note that pricing will be in USD.

Question

What if I have to cancel after I've made my deposit?

Answer

We understand that life happens. For that reason, some of the rates, including all Expedia Exclusive Staterooms, offer fully refundable deposits. This allows you to make your deposit to reserve a stateroom with the ability to cancel and receive a refund before final payment is due on December 29, 2025. After that date, a cancellation charge will apply. Alternatively, you may also consider purchasing a travel insurance policy that includes trip cancellation coverage.

Question

Do I need a passport for this cruise?

Answer

For our non-American friends, you will need to have a passport from your home country. If you are American, although recommended, you do not need one for this cruise as it starts and ends in the same US port. Instead, you will have to present your original birth certificate or certified copy along with valid government-issued photo identification. Should you wish to get a passport, however, you certainly have time to apply for one before sailing.

Question

Will I have free time?

Answer

Of course! The official festivities will be for a few hours on the first sea day. We are also inviting all of you to be our guests on a private excursion in St. Thomas. This still allows plenty of time to unwind and relax at your own pace.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

That's a good question! We will have additional details once we finalize location details with Celebrity.
