I DON’T WANT TO GO BY MYSELF, CAN THE MOODIES CRUISE TEAM ARRANGE A ROOMMATE FOR ME?

Unfortunately, we cannot be involved in any cabin matching, however, there are designated Facebook pages designed to help passengers connect with others in the same situation.

Please be advised that these pages have been set up by Moody Blues Cruise fans and not by The Moody Blues Cruise nor On The Blue Cruises. Therefore, choosing to room with someone you do not know is at your own discretion and neither The Moody Blues Cruise, On the Blue Cruises nor Celebrity will be responsible or liable for any issues related to these matches. Any problems associated with cabin mates (both on board or during the reservation and payment process) will be subject to the same terms and conditions, as any other cabin and the main passenger on the reservation will be held responsible.

In an effort to reduce costs even further for our Moody Blues Cruise family, we will offer a Paid in Full Discount for the 2018 cruise.

If you pay your cabin in full by Monday, October 10, 2016, you will receive a 5% cabin discount (basic cruise fare only).

*The Fine Print –Discount is applicable to base cruise rates only and is not offered on the taxes and fees of $250 per person. The entire cabin must be paid in full to receive this discount. The Paid in Full Discount expires Monday, October 10, 2016. Any cabin that chose the Paid in Full option at the time of booking that does not pay in full by 11:59 Eastern on Monday, October 10, 2016 will no longer be eligible for the discount. No exceptions. The Paid In Full Discount expires at 11:59 pm Eastern time on Wednesday, August 31, 2016.

If payment in full has not been received by Monday, October 10, 2016, On the Blue reserves the right to consider a reservation canceled, and to charge the applicable cancellation penalties.

At that time, the Paid in Full Discount will also be removed.

CAN I MAKE CHANGES TO MY RESERVATION OR TRANSFER MY CABIN TO ANOTHER PARTY?

Yes. However, the Passenger who places a reservation for a cabin onboard is considered the cabin’s “Primary” passenger, and is therefore solely responsible for initiating or authorizing all changes to the reservation. Downgrading your cabin to a cabin of lesser value is not allowed.

Primary passenger name changes are considered a CABIN TRANSFER and are subject to a transfer fee of $250 USD.

No transfer or change of a reservation to a NEW passenger shall be made without On The Blue’s prior written approval, to be given or withheld in On The Blue’s sole discretion.  Subject to the preceding sentence, under no circumstances shall a Passenger or any person or entity acting on Passenger’s behalf (i) sell a reservation, cabin, or berth to any other person or entity for more than the price paid by the Passenger, or (ii) offer the reservation, cabin or berth to any other person(s) or entity(s) as a prize or award in a drawing, contest, lottery, sweepstakes, raffle or similar event of any kind; a transfer in violation of this sentence shall not be permitted, and the Primary passenger shall indemnify and hold harmless On The Blue from and against any damages, losses and claims suffered by On The Blue as a result of a violation by Primary passenger, or any other passenger listed on the reservation, of this paragraph.  If a Primary or other passenger wishes to transfer the reservation, cabin or berth to a NEW passenger, the Primary passenger shall send a request in writing for approval of this transfer to On The Blue, along with (i) the reason for the requested transfer and a statement that the transfer will not violate this paragraph, (ii) the NEW passenger name, and (iii) a completed CELEBRITY CRUISES Passenger Contract for the NEW passenger. If the request is approved by On The Blue, the NEW passenger must make full deposit payment amount due based on the above due dates. Once that payment has been made, then the applicable amounts paid by the ORIGINAL traveler will be refunded directly to the original traveler. Any NEW passenger sailing with a reservation transferred to him/her in violation of this paragraph may be denied boarding by On The Blue or, in On the Blue’s sole discretion, removed by On the Blue from the Cruise at any port, at such NEW passenger’s sole cost.

Through March 31, 2017
Each cabin will be entitled to one (1) complimentary name change (excluding Primary passenger) or passenger addition, for second, third or fourth passengers, upon request in writing to On the Blue. Any Additional changes prior to March 31, 2017 will be assessed a $50 fee for each occurrence.

April 1, 2017 – August 31, 2017
Any changes made to a reservation between April 1, 2017 – August 31, 2017 including, but not limited to, the addition of any guest not currently listed on the reservation are $100 per change.

September 1, 2017 – November 30, 2017
Any changes made to a reservation between September 1, 2017 – November 30, 2017 including, but not limited to, the addition of any guest not currently listed on the reservation are $250 per change.

December 1, 2017 – January 2, 2018
No changes will be allowed.

To request a form, please email us at reservations@MoodiesCruise.com. The date that such written notice of change/cancellation is received will determine the applicable change fee/cancellation fees per the above schedule. No exceptions will be made.


 

HOW DO I MAKE A PAYMENT?

We do not automatically process your next payment for you, it is your responsibility to make your payments by the due dates. You can make a payment at any time by either calling us at (855) 622-3111 or by using the “PAYMENT LINK” located in your confirmation emails.


 

CAN I GO ON THE CRUISE IF I’M PREGNANT?

Pregnant women are highly recommended to seek medical advice prior to travel at any stage of their pregnancy. Women who are up to 23 weeks pregnant at the end of the cruise are required to produce a medical certificate of fitness to travel.  Women who will be 24 weeks or more at the time of embarkation for health and safety reasons are not allowed sail.  Celebrity Cruises reserves the right to request a medical certificate at any stage of pregnancy and to refuse passage if the Carrier and/or the Master are not satisfied that the Passenger will be safe during the passage.


 

DO I NEED TRAVEL INSURANCE?

ALL DEPOSITS ARE UNDER FULL PENALTY – PROTECT YOUR TRAVEL INVESTMENT!

As stated in the Terms and Conditions, due to the nature of this event, all deposits on The Moody Blues Cruise are NON-REFUNDABLE and therefore, we highly recommend travel insurance.

Travel Insurance is NOT included in your Moodies Cruise Reservation. The purchase of insurance is the sole responsibility of each guest sailing and is NOT offered through The Moody Blues Cruise. It is up to each guest to research and decide on a 3rd party vendor of their choice for insurance. On the Blue Cruises, Inc. and The Moody Blues Cruise are not responsible for any losses, including any and all deposits, due to lack of travel insurance.
