Citymom92 Posted May 24, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 24, 2022 We've had a terrible year (father in law died in February, mother in law died last night) and I impulsively started to book a cruise for July and paid the $500 deposit just an hour ago. Now I realize the dates won't work, but it looks like since I within the 90 day window, I have a cancellation penalty. Any ideas if I can cancel wihtin a 24hour window?

Rare DCPIV Posted May 24, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 24, 2022 You may as well call right now and ask. I'm sorry to hear you've had such a difficult time, and I hope things work out. We'll send good vibes your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citymom92 Posted May 24, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Well the good vibes helped, and they cancelled the cruise and are refunding the deposit! After being on hold for a long time, the reservationist said that since I was cancelling within 24 hours I would get a full refund, with no penalty. Whew! 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeRick Posted May 24, 2022 #5 Share Posted May 24, 2022 This is actually more common than what you might think at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaBag Posted May 24, 2022 #6 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Sorry for your difficulties. I think if the cruise company hadn't refunded your money, you could have gone through the credit card company. I think you can refute any charge on your credit card within 24 hours. Glad they treated you well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted May 25, 2022 #7 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Give them a call. I recently screwed up on reservation - Mine wasn't within final payment but was a non-refundable. I found a nice agent and she waived the penalty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citymom92 Posted May 25, 2022 Author #8 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Just double-checked that the cancellation went through, and sure enough, it did. I'm still going to wait and see if our dates open up for July. I really feel like we need to get away, like everyone these days, I know. Thanks for everyone's responses, I appreciated the support when I was kind of freaking out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
