Just an FYI if you go to change the sailing the reps are most likely going to try to just give you the current OBC instead of the one that you have on the year old booking. You will most likely have to remind them that it's an older booking.

Do you mean the obc that comes with the next cruise? Yeah I will remind them if I do change.

At this point I am leaning toward just stay put and use the next cruise certificate.

Correct, for a Next Cruise certificate, the 60-day transfer time limit starts when the booking is first assigned to a specific cruise.

Thank you.

Correct, you can move that booking to another ship and/or sailing date as many times as you like. The OBC from booking on board will move, but any other promo OBC will not move, unless that promo OBC is also offered with the new cruise.

Thank you for the confirmation. :)

My understanding is the booking date would always remain the date I booked online a year ago, and that was the date the 60 day transfer to a TA limit started ticking. So I have lost the transfer opportunity for good and will never be able to transfer this particular booking to a TA no matter how many times I move it again since the 60 day deadline has passed 10 months ago.

Am I understanding it correctly? :confused:

If you cancel a cruise booked with a Next Cruise certificate, you lose that certificate.

What if I don’t cancel outright but move to the booking to a later date?

I was told at the time of booking that since my booking has refundable deposit I can move the booking to another sailing as long as the move is made before final payment date of the original booking and my deposit and the obc will move with the booking.

Have you checked what current pricing is for your cruise?

If booked a year ago you must have a refundable deposit so you could just cancel and rebook with the TA if doing so provides some total cost advantage when the TA's OBC and other perks are taken into consideration.

Also I would go with the non-refundable deposit rate at this late date..

Thank you for the suggestion. Yes the deposit is refundable. The thing is I used a cruise next certificate. In theory it does not have an expiration date but I want to use it already. I bought it years ago and never had a chance to use it until this time.

If I cancel with RCI, I can transfer the cruise next cert on a later cruise deposit directly with RCI but i cannot use it with the TA, if I understand it correctly.

I am too scared to ask about certain other fruits ... :eek:

Thank you everyone. And in this case, late is no better than never. :loudcry:

Booked a cruise directly online a year ago and final payment is coming up next month. Thinking about maybe transfering the booking to a TA who offers obc. Is it too late?

I have sailed both ships on holiday cruises. I would pick the Sky as I liked the ship much better. Make sure you visit the Spinnaker lounge. :)

They do have price drops occasionally but you have to check every day. Don't give up hope. However I find Houston more expensive than average.

I also wonder what wonderland is and it's supposed to double as a lounge. I am currently booked in a nearby cabin and hope it will not be noisy.

Has anyone successfully reserved any new restaurants yet? I would love to hear their experience. Quantum restaurant reservation has been a little irksome.

I think you can use it to pay for gratuities right?

Or is post dry dock Oasis 1 being remodeled similar to the upcoming Oasis 3?;):D

I think you are right!

So as I am neither diamond nor suite, if I want to visit the tallest lounge at the sea I better get myself on Allure soon before her VCL gets changed too. :D

Do you think Oasis 3 will be modeled after the post dry dock Oasis?

Anyone knows what is the difference between Oct 2014 deck plans and Nov 2014 deck plans?
