marci22 Posted September 22, 2015 #1 Share Posted September 22, 2015 This question gets asked a lot: What is the penalty for cancelling a 3rd or 4th after final payment? The ticket contract http://www.royalcaribbean.com/content/en_US/pdf/CTC_Not_For_BR.pdf notes that, "The cancellation charge policies set forth above vary for single occupancy or for the third, fourth or higher occupants in a stateroom or for groups." I called and asked the D+ desk specifically about 3rds. She said: If you cancel the third person in a cabin any time after final, that is before full penalty phase, (for ex, 14 days before sailing on a 5 or 7 night cruise) you will get the full fare returned to you. So you would get back fare, taxes and fees for that 3rd person. Once you enter the full penalty phase, (within those 14 days) you will only get back taxes and fees. The cabin would not be repriced (I asked). hth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marci22 Posted September 22, 2015 Author #2 Share Posted September 22, 2015 And it doesn't actually have to be the 3rd person who is listed. It can be any one of the 3 people in the cabin. As long as there are 2 people remaining, it is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marci22 Posted December 10, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted December 10, 2015 On longer or holiday cruises the full penalty phase may be earlier. Check your individual cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted December 10, 2015 #6 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I have seen this posted before but thanks for clarifying and explaining about the final penalty phase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishgal432 Posted December 11, 2015 #7 Share Posted December 11, 2015 If that 3rd person qualified and was booked under Resident, State, C/A or Military Discount and the other 2 are not eligible, the cabin will be repriced. Learned the hard way:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learned the hard way:( Of course. That's a whole different kettle of fish. They are not going to let you have a discount that no one in the cabin is eligible for.

Merion_Mom Posted December 11, 2015 #9 Share Posted December 11, 2015 On longer or holiday cruises the full penalty phase may be earlier. Check your individual cruise. Correct. On Christmas or NYE cruises, the dates & cancellation amounts are: 89 to 64 Days Prior to Sailing - deposit 63 to 43 Days Prior to Sailing - 50% 42 to 22 Days Prior to Sailing - 75% 21 to 0 Days Prior to Sailing - 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jticarruthers Posted December 11, 2015 #10 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Also, if you booked a cabin that has capacity for 3 passengers and drop to only 2, they can change your cabin assignment which DOES trigger reprice. At least that's what they threatened me with, so I kept the 3rd person rather than pay more to be moved and repriced. Don't know if they eventually would have compromised with me but didn't feel like fighting it out. Essentially the E1 category is for 3 pax+, dropping to two would mean I was supposed to be in an E2 or E3 which at that point were significantly higher in price than when I booked.

Jimnbigd Posted December 12, 2015 #11 Share Posted December 12, 2015 I think these are the USA rules, and that other countries might have different rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now THAT is horrendous. How high did you elevate your protests? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
