latebuyer Posted November 9, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 9, 2022 If you cancel something in cruise planner are you able to rebook it right away? Thinking of booking something now when its 10% off, but i’m wondering if it would go for 15% black friday in which case i would want to cancel and rebook right away.

BobNoxious Posted November 9, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 9, 2022 yes. I do this with deluxe beverage packages for myself/spouse. Each time price drops cancel and rebook. The only issue I have heard of is with Excursions - sometimes they are not available to rebook if they are close to being sold out or sold out - even after you cancel.

Funky Fusion FoodsJ Posted November 9, 2022 #4 Share Posted November 9, 2022 You can usually rebook quickly, but don't expect the refund on the cancelation to occur quickly..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw a lower price on the roller coaster unlimited rides at Labadee on a cruise earlier this year. We cancelled the booking but when we went to purchase the lower price, the only thing available for purchase was the single ride roller coaster. We never saw the unlimited rides available again for that cruise so we ended up just hanging out at the beach at Labadee that cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latebuyer Posted November 9, 2022 Author #6 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Thanks, the last cancellation took about 5 days for the refund, but i guess it varies. I’m not convinced black friday will be that much cheaper, anyways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use obc to book excursions. I get refunded my obc immediately. In seconds. It's back in my account. Cant make a blanket statement about how long a refund will take without knowing payment method.

Didn't make a blanket statement how long a refund will take, made a blanket statement about managing expectations......in your case if it takes more than a few seconds you might be disappointed......expectations are relative.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted November 10, 2022 #9 Share Posted November 10, 2022 If you see an excursion at a lower price you can generally cancel and rebook it within a minute or two. Don't try this if the excursion is showing only a few slots open, though. I have had to refresh the excursion page sometimes to have it register that I no longer have that excursion booked. Generally takes about 5 days for a refund to show up in credit card. Immediate if booked with OBC (although may have to refresh as indicated above for OBC to be available to rebook). We normally book excursions a year out and get several price reductions before the cruise. Same used to happen for soda package but since they implemented the new Planner haven't seen that price go below $8.99/day. Hoping for Black Friday sale for discounts on six cruises booked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Researcher Posted November 10, 2022 #10 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Good question OP. I was wondering about this for our Alaska cruise in July. I booked the White Pass train excursion in Skagway for all 16 of us but wondered what would happen if the price dropped and I cancelled and tried to rebook. The price is pretty reasonable through RCCL, and not much different than third party vendors, so I'm not sure it's worth the risk. However, for things like soda packages or drink packages, or dining packages that don't sell out, there is virtually no risk to cancel and repurchase. I've done that many times.
