Annicruise2014 Posted October 13, 2020 #1 Share Posted October 13, 2020 6 people are booked in 2 cabins. 4 of us are going and are checked in and ready to print our set sail passes. 2 are NOT going. I will not cancel them so as not to confuse RC. Do I still need to check them in and then be no shows, or don't check them in and be no shows? Until I hear otherwise, I am still hoping, planning and packing ! 🙂 Thanks for any replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted October 13, 2020 #3 Share Posted October 13, 2020 IMHO...I have no need to check myself in.....until something...at sometime.....somewhere...sails at all. 😮 I have suffered too many cancellations. I refuse to waste time checking in or waste paper on a set sail pass by doing so, until I know it will actually go. Which I have no idea when... 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted October 13, 2020 #4 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) On one of our cruises we had 4 cabins booked for 10 of us only 7 ended up being able to go. We only checked in for those going. The 3 were no shows...no one asked and no one cared. We got this cruise at a great rate...all cabins right next to each other and didn't want to take the chance of RCI moving them around. This worked out great for us.

Makes sense to check in on the off chance your sailing happens. The earlier you check in, the better time you will get. Royal Caribbean has only enforced check in times in very few ports in the past, but I would expect them to enforce check in times once they start sailing to keep crowds small. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If these 2 guests are the 3rd and 4th in a room then you have a couple of options that are a lot better than just being a no show. Typically 3/4 guests can be cancelled for a refund up until the final penalty phase which is 15 days prior to sailing. They may sometimes want you to change cabins to a cabin that holds only 2 guests however given that occupancy is not going to be an issue I don't think they will move you. The other option is that after final payment any guest can cancel (even guest 2) and receive a FCC for their portion of the cruise fare and the other people in the cabin will not have their fare adjusted. This is part of the Cruise with confidence policy. The worst thing you can do right now is to have them be a no show. You need to call Royal or your TA.

I'm pretty sure they would have moved some of us as these were very desirable located cabins that we got great rates on over a year before sail date.

bearette Posted October 18, 2020 #10 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Call and ask and if they want to move you then don't follow through, if you don't like the.outcome. Pre-covid the 3rd in our room cancelled and they wanted to move the covetted aft cabin, but we were able to change the person sailing for no fee and keep the room. Try that if you have some else willing to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
