[choc56uk]

does any one have any idea when april ...and onwards 2011not caribean ( sept ...europe ) will go on sail please....

 

 

we have a cruise booked for may 2010 that we have to cancel...but will be able to rearrange it for 2011....

My TA in the US can already get Caribbean prices for me for Sept/Oct 2011, but not sure of European sailings or for UK policies, but we are able to get rates in the US now for that time frame.

The only itineraries available that far out are on Allure and Oasis.

 

For all other ships it will be late April/early May 2010 before the next season (thru April 2012) will be available.

we have 2 options....or maybe 3

 

1/ cancel.....lose 100£ pp = aprox 120$ pp

 

2/ book another cruise higher price ( but not going on it ) actually at a much later time and date....it has to be higher as then we will not pay any for changing.....we booked direct and not with a T.A

 

3/ then when the new time frame comes in...pay aprrox 30£ pp to re arrange a new cruise in the time date we want...

 

we have untill mid jan 2010 to cancel...but the new dates for later 2011 will not be out by then...

Reason for cancelling the carib cruise is that the cross atlantic flights are so expensive.....

You are still thinking of the old UK T&Cs - it is now £75pp to change ship/sail date, doesn't matter if it is more or less in cost now. And then if you change again that is another £75pp....

I think cut your losses now and then start from scratch. If you swap to a cruise then you are not entitled to any EBD or OBC they offer as you are not a 'new' booking.

At todays exchange rate £100pp is actually $160.00pp

Hi Anita,

could you not hold on to your booking for a while and keep an eye on the flight prices? They often drop when they've been out for a month or two.

Below is the info with regard to transfers,taken from RCCL UK website-

 

4) Booking transfers (making major amendments) outside of 56 days

Making a major amendment or a booking transfer can be defined as the following:

Changing the Brand/ ship and/or sail date

Business rules of making major amendments:

Major changes can only be made outside of 56 days of travel, otherwise

these bookings are treated as cancellations (see section 1)

Outside of 56 days, a booking can be transferred at a cost of £75pp (or 75

Euros)

There is no limit of the number of transfers that can be made but the £75pp

(or 75 Euros) will be charged for each change

Booking transfers are subject to pay any air amendment fees, the air team will

quote the air fee which will be in addition to the £75pp (or 75 Euros) transfer

fee, the air amendment fees will be added to the new booking

There is no time restriction of the travel dates when the booking can be

transferred to and within what time period

The transfer fee of £75 (or 75 Euros) will be charged irrespective of whether

the booking is increasing or decreasing in value

The deposit in full will be transferred over from the cancelled booking to the

new booking and the LOD penalty removed, the transfer fee is added to the

NEW booking.

The transfer fee should be shown on the NEW booking. This is the indicator

to anyone looking at the booking at a future date that this booking has already

been amended before.

• Please note that transfer fee’s are non commissionable

ive rang royal today and beacause we booked before 1st june 2009 we are out of the penalty of paying 75.00 pp..........

 

so we are allowed to change withought paying anything....

 

however if we do change to an alternative booking and try to change again after that ....we will be charged 75.00......

 

 

these changes came into effect 1st june 2009
