If it is a OBC board booking it could have been handled then. If this was an OBB and the cruise had been booked by the TA it would have gone to them automatically. Otherwise it feels like this may be a new relationship with a TA that developed after the OP booked the cruise. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OBB bookings go to TA on record unless you tell them not to, which is simply checking a box on a form. We do this frequently so that we can check with the TA we use to see if there are group rates or other TA promotions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ken the cruiser Posted July 6, 2023 #28 Share Posted July 6, 2023 6 hours ago, the penguins said: As Bo pointed out you would only loose the deposit you paid which, when you book onboard, is only $200 so it might make sense - you would have to do the maths (math). Also as you are Elite you get a free change so X might (just might) let you cancel and rebook the same cruise in a different cabin which you would immediately transfer to your agent. As different X employees interpret the rules differently it's worth a phone call to see. Good point IF they booked the cruise onboard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until recently changes could be made with no charge and cancellations with a NRD incurred a $100 pp fee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another reason could be because precovid all deposits in the UK were non refundable so being able to make one free transfer was a valuable perk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And really, the only thing I could think of would be that you fell into a coma the day after booking and woke up 34 days later. You have 30 days to do it - holding off until the last possible moment is just asking for something to happen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( I don't know ). Perhaps it's 36 hrs in Southern Ontario , but, 72 hrs everywhere else ? ( I don't know ) Perhaps you are complaining to the wrong crowd ? ( That one I do know--- it's yes ) Perhaps call your TA ( Big Box Travel ) and get them to try for you ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPacificbound Posted July 6, 2023 #38 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Not sure but I would think it was 30 consecutive days, not business days. However, the title of post "trauma"...... seriously?

Rare crusinthrough Posted July 7, 2023 #43 Share Posted July 7, 2023 This wasn’t a real post. Just something to stir the pot. The title says 4 days past the deadline but 3 days and 36 hours was mentioned in the post. There is no consistency for this to make sense. 4 days is 96 hours, 3 days is 72 hours and 36 hours is a day and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, I think you have much bigger issues than your TA transfer. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
