Booking FVs seems to be a date sensitive thing. Celebrity will not allow these cabins to be booked by 2 during holiday & vacation times when there are more kids onboard. They do however allow double bookings during times when schools are in session and the number of kids low. That to me is an acceptable policy.As to bumping after booking - I am not saying it hasn´t happened but we have simply not heard about it on any of the boards yet. We have however seen bumping from the PH suite on one of our cruises. 2 couples from the UK booked both PH Suites for a trans Panama cruise very soon after 09/11 - they got them for a rediculous price. However Celebrity bumped them out of the PH into a standard outside without Balcony as they were obviously able to sell the PH at a much better rate later. Both couples did however get that cruise for free plus an additional cruise in the PH for free. Celebrity did not allow them the choice of weather they wanted to accept that bump or not . It was either accept our offer or have your money back and not cruise at all. Sure the cruisers were very unhappy as they didn´t even get a balcony but I guess in hindsight two free cruises weren´t such a bad deal after all.
