What to Know Before Securing Your Cabin:

Whether you've attended BWLC events before or this is your first, we've designed this milestone to be accessible and easy to join.

  • Reserve your cabin with a simple deposit
  • Flexible payment plans available
  • Traveling solo? Roommate matching available
     

Pricing and Deposit:

PRICING: Pricing is based on double occupancy (2 people per stateroom). If you need accessible accommodations, or if you wish to receive a quote for a room that can hold a solo passenger or 3+ guests, please contact WynD Love Travel directly via email to wyndlovetravel@gmail.com, or text 585-484-1859. Note: solo guests pay a 200% surcharge and double the deposit.

DEPOSITS: For those who book early, the deposit is $150 per person ($200 per person for suites). Beginning December 4th, the deposit increases to $250 per person. Deposits are expected within 48 hours of submitting a booking request, to lock in the rate. A suggested payment plan including due dates and amounts will be provided on the invoice included with your booking confirmation document. The Final Balance must be paid in full by May 1, 2026.


IMPORTANT BOOKING INFO: A limited number of staterooms in select categories has been secured especially for BWLC. If those fill, you can still book a stateroom - availability simply shifts to Celebrity's current rates and policies at the time of booking. Reserving early not only locks in your spot but also gives you the best chance to enjoy the group perks and more flexible terms.
