Skip,
You were asking about the age of the passengers. The target passenger for HAL is the over 55 crowd with and average age of 65. Carnival target is over 18, Royal Caribbean is over 25, Princess is over 30, Celebrtiy is over 35. Those are target, not who actually cruises. So you do get older and younger people on all cruises, but the activities are set toward the given age group. Plus, did any of the documentation fro the rebate say when is would be given. I know if I were Travelocity or Celebrity, I wouldn't give the credit until you actually sail. There would be too much liability in reabting before the cruise, what if you cancel? Take notice, no one is on your side here. I think that goes to show what we all think of Celebrity, keep that in mind as you have a wonderful cruise. Don't go into the cruise with a bad attitude. A cruise is what you make of it and if you go into the cruise with a bad attitdue that is how you will see the cruise not matter how good or bad it actually is. Come back and tell us about your cruise and how you liked the cruise.
