24 Hour Courtesy Hold - Gone?

[emeraldcity]

Very odd. I was using IE at work two days ago and it was there. I'm using IE here at home now and it's not there.

Works on Chrome for me

Yesterday I had to sign out of C&A and I was able to put a cabin on Courtesy Hold. Today, not able to put a Courtesy Hold whether I sign into C&A or not, hold is gone.

Book with a TA and you can hold for a day or so. Contact me and I'll tell you how. Cost is the same.

Sometimes it lets me hold and sometimes it doesn't. Even when it's not after final payment.

Works on Duck Duck Go for me

No courtesy hold available for cruises within the final payment time frame.

 

Not true. The one I did yesterday was past final payment.

Just tried it using Chrome.

Was there for a split second then disappeared.

No courtesy hold for me on IE, Chrome, or Firefox whether logged-in or out of C&A or whether within or outside of final payment.

 

There was a limit at one time for courtesy holds but it wasn't within final payment. We tried once within the restricted time and it wouldn't work even though the Courtesy Hold appeared on the site. I don't remember how many days out it was but when I called, the rep said it was to close to sail date for a Courtesy Hold.

Using Chrome, I just now went to RCI's web site, choose the upcoming Anthem TA, which is past final payment, chose a cabin category, got the Courtesy Hold button, and was able to select it....

Use a travel agent. They can get you more than a 24 hour hold!

Courtesy Hold working this morning with Firefox.

[Biker19]

No Hold in/out of C&A on Chrome and Edge.

Tried IE, Chrome, just now, No courtesy hold available. Tried logged in vs not as well, didn't matter

That's annoying

[newbiecruiser09]

In Safari, not logged in, courtesy hold button showed up once I choose a specific stateroom category. Booking for next Aug.

I never look for the button until I choose a cabin. Chrome working fine. This is on a Windows 7 machine

[John&LaLa]

Just used it again to snag the aft cabin since previous hold expired. Laura will convert to booking onboard Freedom this afternoon if all goes well

[roquejo]

Did a test booking, logged in, with chrome, courtesy hold is there

[Tall-Cruiser]

Just tried a few test bookings using Chrome and IE and as far forward as Dec 2016. In all cases the Courtesy Hold appeard for a split second and vanished. It is strange that it is working for some and not for others.

[FLACRUISER99]

I had it the other day and now its gone for me.

[John&LaLa]

I used it again last night, no problems for me.

[Diplomacy]

Just did a series of mock bookings. The button appears for me every time, regardless of whether I am logged in as a C&A member, or whether the ship is sailing next month or next year, or whether I use chrome or Firefox. It showed up each time.

Someone asked this question on Royal's Facebook page and the Royal representative responded that there would be no more courtesy holds for Caribbean cruises. No explanation was provided at the time I read this last night.

I had tried for Caribbean cruises only with no luck getting the Courtesy Hold to show up...just tried Europe and there it was.

Wow, they are just so customer-friendly lately.
