C cruise Posted December 24, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Four of us are booked for a cruise in 10 days - a ladies trip. One of us just realized she needs to cancel --- should she be a no show? or should she call and let them know? Is either option better than the other?

Rare twangster Posted December 24, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 24, 2022 At this point so close to the sail date there is little reason to call in and notify. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/booking-cancellation-refund-policy Since there is no refund to be had under 30 days she won't get any cruise fare back. Port fees and taxes will be refunded for her. Any cruise planner purchases for her will be refunded. These are usually automatic but it might not occur until after the cruise completes. In some cases if the cabin requires X number of guests and one calls in to cancel then it could cause the cabin to be re-assigned. If there are still 3 or more guests sailings that is less likely but the general wisdom since there is no benefit to calling it in is to be a no show. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke gs Daddy Posted December 24, 2022 #3 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Do not say anything and she will be a no show. As stated above there is no reason to cancel ahead of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare twangster Posted December 24, 2022 #5 Share Posted December 24, 2022 If she has made any cruise planner purchases (except deluxe beverage package) they will refund faster if she goes into the cruise planner and cancels those now. Since the deluxe beverage package requires all adults in the cabin to purchase it that could impact cabin mates so this one item is best to consider leaving for now and let it cancel after no show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the double points promotion I booked all the cruises for 2 people knowing DH wouldn’t be able to make every one. His schedule changes month to month so this way he could go if his schedule allowed. He was often able to rearrange it if it didn’t. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone needs to purchase the DBP. If you call Royal, one can get DBP and one can get refreshment package. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you wise to replace only with great care or sail with three. Have a wonderful cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't exactly look like DBP ladies? 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4 Posted December 25, 2022 #12 Share Posted December 25, 2022 If she has trip insurance and is cancelling for a covered reason, she needs to cancel with the cruise line and submit a trip insurance claim. If her cabinmate has trip insurance, her policy will most likely cover the solo supplement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soremekun Posted December 28, 2022 #16 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Question: If the no-show person had OBC from Royal, what happens to it? Does it go to someone else in the same stateroom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it go to someone else in the same stateroom? I feel like this is one of those YMMV scenarios. Ask 50 people who gone through this and you'll likely get 51 different answers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
