Would you buy anything that had a warranty the said they do not guarantee it will ever work.

While not denying your specific cruise experience, your facts apart from those of your cruise are incorrect or absent useful additional information.
You will find the "Cruise Ticket Contract" published on Celebrity's web site. Most, but not all, lines do so as well. For those that aren't "connected", any TA can provide a copy. MSC is one line that provides them only "on request". I'd say Celebrity does a better job than most in making their contract easy to find.
You'll also find the contract language in Celebrity's "Clause 3" (as regards the issues you mention above above) pretty much boilerplate across the entire industry. Some do it in more general terms, and some are just as specific. The entire industry is notorious for their lopsided contract language. Other than tax benefits, there are other well understood (and aggravating) reasons for flagging vessels in such peculiar places as Liberia. |
