non refundable deposit

[Schatzie45]

Before I call RCCL, thought I would see if anyone knew the answer. We booked a suite with a non refundable deposit end of March 2020, now husband doesn't want to go those dates. Any chance we can move our deposit to a different date reservation? Just hate to lose deposit, Thanks

Should be a $100pp penalty to move dates.

Yes a $100.00 per person service charge or change fee will be accessed each time.

 

Per RCCL's Terms or Use.

18.           Nonrefundable Deposit Program

A booking made under the non-refundable deposit cruise fare rate (an "NRD Booking") requires the payment of a non-refundable deposit at the time of booking. The deposit is not refundable at any time after it has been paid. Payment of the full non-refundable deposit and the full name for each guest is required at the time of booking. Deposits made toward Guarantees and Grand Suites and higher categories are non-refundable and subject to NRD Booking terms. 

If a guest cancels an NRD Booking prior to the final payment due date, the cancellation terms of the cruise ticket contract apply, and Royal Caribbean International will issue a future cruise credit in the amount of the deposit paid minus a $100 USD per person service fee to the guest named on the cancelled NRD Booking (the "FCC"). The FCC is applicable only towards the purchase of a Royal Caribbean International cruise and expires 12-months after the issue date (the "Expiration Date"). Any amount remaining after the Expiration Date will be void and forfeited. The FCC is non-transferable, non-refundable, and not redeemable for any other form of compensation, credit, or cash. For NRD Bookings that require a deposit of $100 USD or less, no FCC or any other compensation or credit of any kind will be issued.

 

Each time the guest changes the ship or sail date of an NRD Booking prior to the final payment due date, payments made towards the NRD Booking will be applied to the balance of the modified booking and a $100 USD per person service fee will be charged to the modified booking. 

This offer is available exclusively to residents of United States and Canada. Prices are subject to availability, subject to change without notice; capacity controlled, and may be withdrawn at any time. The Company reserves the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions and to change or update fares, fees and surcharges at any time without prior notice.

In other words, make sure you have the EXACT date / ship / itinerary you want before you make the change, because you will pay the change fee every time you move to a different cruise (just like an airline ticket). 

The exception is that you can change room TYPE (category) or room number on the same ship and date without paying anything extra.

Too bad you'll lose $100.00pp...March is a great time to cruise.
