Booking of Cruise and Ports of Call: This was our first cruise and cannot say enough GREAT things about Celebrity and the ship Constellation. Itinerary was a 7 day southern Caribbean cruise with the following ports of call: San Juan, Case De Campo Dominican Republic, Barbados, Dominica, Antigua, St. Thomas and then back to San Juan.
Good to Know: 2 ½ months out from our scheduled cruise date, our travel agent called to inform us our cruise week was chartered out and we had 2 options: 1) pick another week to cruise or 2) receive a full refund. I guess this can happen (although we are told rarely) & where you book a cruise and then someone comes along and charters the entire boat out and you have to move your week or get a refund. We opted to move our week.
About 45-60 days out from our cruise date, we received a detailed booklet about our cruise itinerary, flight info, the dos and dont of cruising, our luggage tags etc. This booklet really helped us get ready for our trip.
