Lyndonn Posted January 3, 2021 #1 Share Posted January 3, 2021 RCI cancelled our cruise, when can I expect a refund of our deposit? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted January 3, 2021 #2 Share Posted January 3, 2021 If you clicked on refund, I'd say 3 or 4 weeks from the date you requested it. It has been holiday lately, but you should have it soon. How long ago did you request it? Been pretty fast lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted January 3, 2021 #3 Share Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) 28 minutes ago, Lyndonn said: RCI cancelled our cruise, when can I expect a refund of our deposit? Thank you Up to 45 business days. It can vary depending on whether you booked through a TA or direct or if you are part of a group booking. If the reservation had been previously moved from another ship this could also affect the timing. bottom line is that there are lots of variables....I don’t even bother to call until it gets to the 45 day mark. still waiting on refunds for cruises cancelled by Royal November 2.

Luke104 Posted January 3, 2021 #4 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I received my cancellation notice ( for 2 cruises), on Dec 2nd. My credit card was adjusted to show on Dec. 9th for one, and on Dec 12th for the other. And yes, I was very surprised how quick it was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB_NJ Posted January 3, 2021 #5 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I would assume 45 days to be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG65CB Posted January 4, 2021 #6 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Notified of cancellation on December 3. Requested a refund, not FCC. Refund hit my credit card account on December 19 (16 days). There were three refunds - one for the deposit, one for the final balance due, and one for a cruise planner purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you If you don't have it in two weeks, call. I didn't, and it turned out that it had "slipped by them". The worst that will happen is that they will look it up and tell you that it will take 45 business days. The best outcome is that they will say that they don't see it, find it, and then it will take 45 business days. If you wait, it will be waiting time PLUS 45 business days. 😡 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookwife Posted January 5, 2021 #8 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Ours took just over 4 weeks. We were told it could take until the end of January, but it showed up last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouhunter Posted January 8, 2021 #13 Share Posted January 8, 2021 When they cancelled our October 2021 Jewel cruise it was about 2 weeks to get the deposit refunded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare allisonb22 Posted January 10, 2021 #14 Share Posted January 10, 2021 i still haven't gotten my refunds or FCC for my jan 2 sailing that was cancelled by RCI. I know they said by Jan 15 but I'm not confident I'll have them by friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retiredgram Posted January 12, 2021 #15 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Put in for refund Dec. 27, posted on cc. Jan.6. I was rather shocked at the fast response. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB_NJ Posted January 13, 2021 #16 Share Posted January 13, 2021 On Dec. 16 they announced the sale of Empress and we are still waiting for cruise planner refunds. Called up and they basically said it was all in the hands of the backroom IT guys. Given previous problems with RCL websites, etc. this does not give me a warm and comfy feeling.

Hi, Snaefell are you in the Isle of Man by any chance? I had two cruises cancelled by Celebrity on 13th January and my refunds were back on my card on 21st! Royal cancelled my April cruise in November and the refund took 4weeks! Hope you get yours back soon.Dianne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmerick Posted January 24, 2021 #23 Share Posted January 24, 2021 25 Jan 2021 cruise cancelled by RCI on 6 Dec 2020. I canceled all my cruise planner items on 06 Dec, and had refunds within 10 days. I also canceled by Air2Sea reservation, and had that refund at 6 weeks. Received my 125% FCC on 19 Jan 2021, along with taxes and tips. Still waiting on VPP. Patience is a virtue.

snaefell Posted January 24, 2021 #24 Share Posted January 24, 2021 di T,when I bought my first computer many years ago we were hardly ever away from the Isle Of Man so when I had to pick a user name snaefell came readily mind! Our refund was originally for Anthem's repo in April 2020,after Royal changed the itinerary it didn't suit us & we wanted our money back but ended up paying to transfer it to one of Quantum's sailings from Singapore in March 2021 which they again changed causing us to change to another earlier sailing which they then cancelled,confused?😲 As long as we get it back we aren't too bothered if it takes a while!

Just wondered about the user name😂We lookout to sea and the Isle of Man is right in front of us, thought we could wave🖐Hope you don’t have too long to wait for your refund! Funny enough we have a Norwegian fiords on Anthem for this July booked,would be the first time on this class of ship, don’t think it will sail so maybe I’ll be waiting for refunds yet again!
