Next Cruises -- can you change within a month?

[SherriZ366]

Does anyone know if you book something at Next Cruises if you still can change it during a one month or 4 week period.  That's what happened to us last year -- we changed a sailing to go with friends.  We are sailing the week that RCI has now scheduled the release for 7 night Caribbean during this week -- it has slipped from earlier in November.  We want to book at Next Cruises to get the lower deposit and the OBC.

4. Changes: CHANGES FOR NDN BOOKINGS: For Guests who make a NDN Booking,  changes made during the first two (2) months after the debarkation day of the cruise during which the NDN Booking was made shall not be subject to a Change Fee;  changes made to the ship or sail date after that two (2) month period has expired shall be subject to a Change Fee (currently $100 per person but subject to adjustment without notice);  Each time the guest changes the ship or sail date of a NDN prior to the final payment due date, payments made towards the NDN Booking will be applied to the balance of the modified booking and a $100 per person service fee will be charged to the modified booking. After the final payment due date, changes to the ship or sail date are not permitted and would be treated as a cancellation of the booking.  if the modified NextCruise Booking would have (under the Royal Caribbean International deposit requirements applicable in your country of residence) a higher minimum deposit requirement than the Non-Refundable Deposit required for your original NDN Booking, you must pay to Royal Caribbean International the difference between that higher minimum deposit amount and the Non-Refundable Deposit by the final payment due date.

Book Later option says you get a year to change. Non refundable deposit of $200 per stateroom. If you select a ship within 2 months you are eligible for up to $600 in savings .

Just booked on board three weeks ago. Within the next week we changed ships and dates with no problem. Agree with the above - no penalty for changing within two months.

Thanks -- We were able to change a cruise earlier this year with no penalty. Wanted to make sure that the policy is the same.
