Cruisers47 Posted October 4, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Hi i have received an email from Royal Carribean asking for my final payment for the above cruise. i think it is a scam. It asks me to pay one month before the final payment is due. It does look like it is from RC. it gives me my reservation number but not the amount due? It asks me to click on a link ? I have advised RC of this! I have also put it on the Roll Call. be aware! Eileen 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't put it past any cruise lines to try and get early payment these days though, but I would expect that your due date would be mentioned as well. I gather you have booked direct? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiliburn Posted October 4, 2023 #8 Share Posted October 4, 2023 It could be a tech problem,Royal doesn’t really set the world on fire with their systems. I got a email about a couple months ago that final payment was due on a November 2024 cruise . I called ,It was just a glitch. But there could be someone selling information out the back door, these things do happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided to pay part of my final payment early because I have a new credit card with ANZ, better Travel insurance. I did the payment through the RC site and it all went through and they have sent me a new receipt with new amount due. It states the due date for the rest of the payment is the same as that strange email I receive, one month early.. The one that I thought was a scam. I have the original documents, from when I made the booking and the due date is stated one month later. So it was not a scam! They may just be trying to get people to pay their final payment early. i have not had any reply from my email to RC yesterday. But I know it was not a scam.
