Fast forward to December 31st. We had an E shoot in the AM for our January 27th bride and a party that night. The year was coming to an end and I was looking foreward to 2007. And of course our cruise! We do the E shoot and my bride kept saying "2 weeks! I am freaking out!" and finally I said, "So are you heading to South Fla in 2 weeks?" and she looked at me funny. Guess what? Her date was moved from January 27th to January 13th and she forgot to tell me! I should have known - she was March 31 originally and I found out from another vendor that the date had been changed.
So what to do? We waited for 2 whole days. Celebrity was closed on Dec 31 and Jan 1. We didn't get insurance - but was it too late? Well, I researched the insurance and it turns out that even if we did have it, our excuse wasn't one of the reasons you could use to cancel.
I called Celebrity first thing on Tuesday January 2nd. Bad news, we lose half our money. Not good. Not good at all. But I just felt like we couldn't NOT shoot this wedding. So we cancelled. The somewhat good news is if we would have called on the 3rd we would have lost 100% since that was 10 days out.
Here is the ship we should be on right now. We would probably be at a show right now. Our having drinks at one of the bars. Or sitting on our balcony. Can you tell I am sad???
This was before the refurbishment - the ship added a lot of balconies. We will get on it someday.....
