immjs20 Posted October 1, 2021 #27 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I appreciate they have done with for our January cruise. But now I have to pay for my February cruise before the January cruise 😂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Guest, While we know you’ve been patiently waiting for protocols, our teams have been diligently preparing and working with our medical teams, government health authorities, and testing providers to ensure we provide you with the best experience before and during your cruise. Our commitment is to share all protocols for your January sailing very soon, as we want you to have ample time to prepare for an enjoyable and healthy sailing! Additionally, we understand that the final payment date for many of our guests is getting closer. So, we’ve made the decision to push the final payment date for all sailings departing in January 2022. Guests on sailings departing between January 1, 2022 through January 31, 2022, will now have until 30 days prior to their sail date to make their final payment. Our hope is that this gives you a little extra flexibility when making the best decision for you and those in your party. Rest assured, no action is needed on your part, and no cancellations will occur until the new final payment date. Thank you for being a part of our Royal Comeback. We can’t wait to welcome you back onboard soon! Sincerely, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I called my TA this morning and they confirmed final is due 30 days out. I'm not 100% sure they would have notified me, so not very happy about that, but bottom line is I don't have to make final payment for my January cruise until December and that gives me more time to see how Covid progresses into the winter and if protocols change. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ampurp85 Posted October 1, 2021 #30 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I was all set to pay my 3 Jan sailings this week but I am quite glad. My new payment dates are 12/1, 12/8 and 12/25...which would suck if I was a big spender during Christmas. I am sure RCG is pushing the FP dates back to avoid having to give out so many refunds if people don't like the protocols. This way they can convert the deposit to FCC and keep people on the hook.

But now I have to pay for my February cruise before the January cruise 😂 Stay tuned. You might get an extension towards the end of the month (even if it's only to 60 days prior). This all has to be because there are a good number of folks cancelling prior to final payment because they still are in "wait and see" mode. That's actually rather prudent for both sides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if I make full payment before the ‘new’ final payment date, I can still check-in, beat the rush, and get an early on-board time. Never received them for my Nov/Dec Cruises so wouldn't count on Jan either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattR Posted October 6, 2021 #39 Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) Wondering can you check-in for your cruise before you have made final payment? As check-in may open before final payment is now due? Edited October 6, 2021 by mattR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midwestgal Posted October 7, 2021 #42 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Good idea . It’s saving Royal a ton of work from processing cancellations because people are unsure as things are very day to day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ampurp85 Posted October 7, 2021 #44 Share Posted October 7, 2021 @mattRYes to both questions. Check-in opened for a few cruises today and I have a friend cruising end of Nov who checked-in even though payment is due in another 14 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check in availability is not contingent on payment status. Check in was moved to 45 days out so for your sailing it should be mid November.

I just noticed that on the app for our October 22, 2022, Anthem TA says I can check in on September 2nd! Maybe it's because they have our money....payment from 2021 cancelled TA was moved with reservation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
