Passenger Protection
You may purchase our Passenger Cancellation Protection Plan by selecting the yes option on the reservation screen at a cost of $19 per person for a two day Cruise and $28 for a three day cruise. All persons on the reservation must select the same option. The Passengers Cancellation Protection Plan will provide the purchaser with a future credit for the amount you are penalized (less the cost of the Protection Plan. In the event that your traveling companion still sails in the cabin then the single supplement will also be deducted from the benefit). The Plan allows you to cancel for any reason as long as you notify Celebration Cruise Line immediately upon the knowledge of the cancellation and prior to the scheduled departure date. The credit will be valid up to one year from the date of your scheduled cruise. This protection plan is not valid for pre and post Hotel accommodations.
