momof4_tn Posted January 24, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 24, 2014 We are wanting to take our kids on a cruise for Fall Break this year. We have cruised multiple times, but never taken our kids. I have the cruise picked. The problem is my oldest is in college and her fall break doesn't coincide with the 3 other children so she's not sure she wants to go. I will need 2 staterooms either way. So my question is, is it best to book entire # of people in both staterooms and then cancel one before 45 day final payment or book the two rooms and later try to add her if she can go? I don't want to miss the connected staterooms I have picked out which is why I want to go ahead and book now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted January 24, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I would book all the potential guests initially. The downside is that you will have to pay more deposit. The upside is that you guarantee that there is space in your muster station for all potential guests in your party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just FYI, I don't think the final payment date is 45 days out. It's more like 70, or something close to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaveitallbehind Posted January 24, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) Just FYI, I don't think the final payment date is 45 days out. It's more like 70, or something close to that. RCI's final payment due dates are 60 days prior on 3,4,& 5 night cruises and 75 days prior on 7 night and longer cruises. (Holiday cruises are 90 days prior). Although not specified I believe 6 night cruises fall into the 60 day category. Perhaps someone can confirm.

Six nights and over are classified together with respect to final payment dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - was unclear as we've never taken a 6-night. Edited January 24, 2014 by leaveitallbehind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise cruise cruise Posted January 24, 2014 #7 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I would book for all, even the collage aged child now. As previously stated, if you wait you run the risk of there not being space for the additional body in your muster station thus you would not be able to add her to your room, even if the room has enough sleeping space for her.
