Did you contact Celebrity directly? They have always had a policy where if the price came down after you booked they would match it. This is one of the reason's that we used to sail with them. Maybe they do not have this policy in place any longer, but it would be worth a phone call if you want to save a buck.I have not sailed with them in 2 years so it may have changed in that time. If so that is 1 more reason for me not to sail with them again.Viet

We find that Celebrity will still match the lower price unless it is a happy hour special.

The original poster was talking about a happy hour special. The happy hour specials are for new bookings only and are clearly stated as such. There is a time limit on when the cruise must be booked - Tuesdays between certain hours. An agency should let you know that they cannot rebook a cruise for the happy hour special. The happy hour notices that I have received from several agencies state that fact right at the top of the notice in bold print.

The disadvantage of a happy hour special is that your cabin choice is limited - you are getting the cabins that the cruiseline is unable to book.
