It's never been an issue and I would call Blue Chip Club and inquire why $80 was given back as FCC. While other cruiselines' casino comped cabins may charge an administration fee(NCL) or a non-refundable deposit that given back onboard as OBC (Carnival) both Celebrity and Royal always refund the entire port fees and taxes since there's no additional fees. For those who have cancelled a free Blue Chip cruise, are you normally refunded the full amount of port charges and taxes? I just received an email from Celebrity with a $40 pp FCC because of the cancellation. Guests who smoke in their stateroom or veranda will be assessed a 250 cleaning fee.
Casinos on Celebrity are entirely non-smoking. A refund of $188.84 was issued to our credit card a few days later. Celebrity Cruises has designated smoking areas on each ship, allowing cigarettes, e-cigarettes, pipes, and cigars in these sections only.
We decided it was not a good time for us and cancelled. I was assured we could cancel with no penalty. At the time of the booking, the agent explained we would be responsible for the port charges and taxes which amounted to $268.84, which was a great price for a four day cruise.
Hello, We received an offer in June for a free Blue Chip cruise and booked it for mid November on the Summit.
