SRF Posted September 19, 2019 #26 Share Posted September 19, 2019 We booked two longer cruises, in GS, last cruise. Total of $1200 OBC. And Suites are always non-refundable deposit. And then it was auto transferred to our TA, and more OBC on top of that. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compman9 Posted September 19, 2019 #28 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Slightly off topic but why are we allowed to discuss Royal Caribbean as a travel, but not other travel agents? Is Cruise Critic now owned by the cruise lines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds very sinister If Tripadvisor owns this website, I cannot see the relationship - They do not own or are associated with any of the cruiselines It is a very strange rule - Cruise lines are ravel agents, it really is that simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDPCruisers Posted January 27, 2020 #33 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I have a question about booking with Next Cruise and having 60 days to change without penalty..... we just booked a 7 day back to back for the Mediterrean while on our last cruise about a week ago. I know you do have 60 days to change dates and ships but does anyone know if you can change from Royal to Celebrity? I just found a better deal and better itinerary with Celebrity, 9 day back to back with the 4 perks, which brings the total price about $2000 less than Royal for 4 more days. I guess if I cancel and rebook with with Celebrity and lose my $1000 deposit, I'm still $1000 ahead. I know it's just a phone call to find the answer but it's not always a simple call dealing with RC customer service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyyhoneybee Posted January 27, 2020 #34 Share Posted January 27, 2020 60 days to make changes without penalty. We confirmed it in Oct. We booked that cruise onboard in Symphony the spyware before and the same agent is the one who booked us on our cruise for this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise if we swap it outside that time we only get what offers are around then. Also have to use it within 12 months otherwise it’s lost Deposit £150 per cabin Edited January 27, 2020 by little britain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The remainder of the deposit will be given as a Future Cruise Credit, that must be applied to a cruise within 1 year. BUT, why don't you just call and see if you can move the booking? You will still lose the $100pppc, but they can move the rest of the deposit over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
