Moving a non-refundable deposit

[ggroup]

What are the penalties per person if we move our bookings from one cruise to another with a non-refundable deposit on the first?

 

TIA.

Crazy question. What happens if we have to change a non-refundable a second or third time ? Is it an additional $100.00 PP for each change ?

[Thorben-Hendrik]

Yep!

Until all is lost....

Yes.

Thanks for the quick response. Since the cruise I am planning isn't until August 2019, I'll pay the slightly higher refundable deposit.

Good idea. You can always change it to non-refundable before final payment date if the price is right at that time

I was hoping to do this, but they got rid of the non-refundable/refundable option as of final payment day (yesterday). The price for my cabin went up by $200/person instead of down.

 

My final payment date isn’t for 2 more weeks (because I was grandfathered into the 75 day rule), so now I’m just hoping for a last minute drop. But if not, oh well, I like my price, I just thought I might benefit from a last minute drop and switch.

 

Last week the non-refundable rate would have only saved me $50 after losing some on board credit, so I could have saved something, it just wasn’t enough for me to switch to non-refundable that soon.

 

So my lesson to the OP is to switch later, but not too much later. I could have saved $265 3 weeks ago.

Not sure if I misunderstood but once you book a non refundable deposit, you can't change it to a refundable deposit, correct? I had a cruise booked under the non refundable deposit and when I moved it to another date, I asked to change it to refundable. I was told I could not do that.

That's correct - you can't change non refundable to refundable

Don't be surprised if RCI starts charging everyone a $100pp change fee, refundable or not.

 

Changing back to a refundable should be possible if you get a FCC for a different ship or date.

Similar to the old Next Cruise Certificate - you could transfer to another sailing but if cancelled you lost the NCC.
