netizen2 Posted August 1, 2008 #1 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Hello everyone! I booked a five day RC Explorer to Bermuda for September 6, will the cruiseline allow me to change my booking to a seven day in the caribbean? I've tried searching their webpages, and can't find the answer... thanks for any help in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandancer Posted August 1, 2008 #2 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Yes, you can change but the cruise line may charge an admin fee, probably about $50 per person. If the new cruise is more expensive than the original one you may not have to pay at all. We have done this before without any problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to contact the cruise line directly to find out what your options are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue L Posted August 1, 2008 #4 Share Posted August 1, 2008 You are in penalty since you are past final payment and the rules change. Call them directly to get the most accurate answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrp96 Posted August 1, 2008 #10 Share Posted August 1, 2008 For future reference, in the past when I've decided to switch cruises after final payment date, RCCL has looked at it like I was cancelling the old reservation and rebooking a new cruise. So I was charged the cancellation penalty on the old reservation (in my case it was just the deposit amount) to transfer to a different cruise.

PGI2014 Posted August 1, 2008 #11 Share Posted August 1, 2008 netizen2 - I did this exact same thing last year (summer 07). I wanted to switch the 5 day bermuda on the explorer for 2 of us to a 7 day in the caribbean for 4 of us. It took 3 phone calls. The first few reps didn't want to do it, but the last one realized that it was a good business decision for RC. I incurred no cancellation fees', and only had to pay the difference in the cruise fares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
