JAMESCC Posted September 2, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I remember a few years ago booking through TA, and not being able to make a payment direct through the RCI website. I just booked the other day and decided to check the make payment on the RCI website and it seemed like kit was going to let me. So can I make a payment to RCI direct or just the TA? Does it hurt the TA if I do it through RCI direct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvscruising2007 Posted September 2, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I have seen that on my reservation but have never tried it. My understanding is that booking through a TA requires you to go through them for everything pertaining to the booking reservation, payments, cabin changes, price drops, etc. You can however book through your cruise planner shows, dining, packages, excursions.

Rare whitshel Posted September 3, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 3, 2018 If you booked through a T/A you shouldn't be able to pay direct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikeandliz Posted September 3, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 3, 2018 When you book with a TA, technically they own the reservation by contract. Most matters related to your booking must go through your TA. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Cruizers Posted September 3, 2018 #7 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I have cruises booked through a local TA and I have to call her to make payments. She in turn calls the cruise lines so they are actually running the payment not my TA but I can't do it online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may still have access to the payment function until your reservation is transferred over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys I think you are correct I have to go through TA for payment. Too bad actually because payment is the only thing easy to find and RCI makes convenient. Its much easier to pay through the RCI site rather than call the TA. I actually ended up booking right with the TA. The deal was just too good. $2,200 5 days Anthem to Bermuda in a D5 balcony for 3. 2 adults, 1 child, TA paying 2 gratuities and 50 bucks on board credit. We are AFT on deck 11 and for some reason I like being AFT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I could do it through email but it's quite a large TA so it might take a while to get a response. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
