Non-Refundable Deposits

• Australian guests report losing $900+ deposits when cancelling well outside the sail date.
• The non-refundable structure on promotional fares is often described as harsher than competing premium lines.
• Customers flag poor disclosure of the policy at booking.

USD Pricing on AU/NZ Sailings

• Onboard accounts, beverage packages, shore excursions and specialty dining are billed in US dollars.
• Australian guests effectively pay the prevailing FX rate plus card foreign-currency fees.
• This inflates the headline AUD cost of cruise extras meaningfully.

Post-Cruise Billing & Refund Delays

• Disputed line items appear on credit cards after disembarkation and are hard to reverse.
• Refundable deposits and cancelled-sailing refunds can take weeks or months to process.
• Some guests are offered Future Cruise Credit (FCC) instead of cash refunds.

Shore-Side Customer Service Friction

• Long phone hold times and calls routed to Philippines-based contact centres.
• Inconsistent answers between agents and unresolved cabin-change requests.
• Pre-departure booking confirmations sometimes contain errors that are slow to fix.

Onboard Experience Friction

• Aggressive upselling of drinks packages, specialty dining, spa and excursions.
• Repetitive dining menus and aging interiors on the older Solstice-class vessels.

Phone Support (Australia)

• Number: 1800 003 002 (Australia toll-free)
• Hours: Mon–Fri 8am–8pm AEDT, Sat–Sun 9am–6pm AEDT
• Best for new bookings, existing booking changes and urgent pre-sail queries. Have your reservation number ready.

24/7 Live Chat

• Available around the clock via the chat bubble at the bottom-right of celebritycruises.com/au.
• Best for quick questions, fare clarifications and basic booking checks.
• Save the chat transcript for written reference.

Email (Written Record)

• Australia admin: cruiseadmin.au@rcclapac.com — payment, AU-specific booking corrections.
• Global guest relations: cxc@celebrity.com — post-cruise complaints and feedback.
• Include reservation number, sailing date and a clear summary of the issue.

Online Contact & Post-Cruise Form

• Use the official Celebrity Cruises Contact Us page for current numbers, regional offices and special-needs requests.
• A post-cruise feedback form is available via the Customer Support hub.

Travel Agent Escalation

• If you booked via an Australian travel agent, route booking changes and disputes through them first — they have direct trade-channel access.

External Escalation

• Unresolved? Lodge a complaint with the ACCC or your state Fair Trading body.
• Travel-agent bookings can be escalated through AFTA's ATAS scheme.
• You can also lodge a formal complaint against Celebrity Cruises for the full escalation pathway.
