As I said ^^, the change was as of last week - I suspect you received these docs before last week. My docs for my next cruise also have the 'old' information in.

Anton Posted December 20, 2023 #9 Share Posted December 20, 2023 I've been seeing some questions in other online places asking whether Repositioning includes Transatlantic and Transpacific since the list of destinations on the website shows each one separately.

Another_Critic Posted December 20, 2023 #11 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Another change "to enhance your cruise experience"?? That is a HUGE change. 75% reduction for 10+ night repos. Have two 14-night TAs booked for 2024 with previous OBC amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another_Critic Posted December 20, 2023 #12 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Why would they target Repos? Are Repos running at 100% or higher capacity now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OBC relative to the fares being paid is probably one of the highest - RCI wants to be less generous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transatlantics used to be very very cheap with relatively low numbers for high tier C&A members not the case now . Now they are heavy loaded with lots of C&A members entitled to 'free' stuff. Got to recoup the money somehow . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The five words that always mean they are screwing you out of something. Like when they enhanced everyone out of their cookies and soda/beer in exchange for another bottle of water.

Technically, any cruise that departs from one port and ends in a different port is a repositioning sailing s it may not be limited Transatlantic and Transpacific crossings.
