Looking for folks who have changed their sail date and held an NRD reservation with change fee.
According to Royal, there's a $100 fee to change, per person.
There's also the possibility that you'd pay the difference in cruise fare if the new booking is higher.
The question I have is: If you want to change (not cancel) a reservation, do they just move you to the new sailing without refunding and re-charging your payment methods, or will they refund the payment method and then charge you again?
Reason for asking, we took advantage of several Amex Offers to receive cashback on a cruise in 2023, and now want to change the sail date because flights that week are $850/person r/t! We can move to another date where flights are $450/person r/t and still save $600 per cabin after paying a change fee (two cabins = the $1,200 question I'm asking)
If they treat it as a cancel and refund our Amex, we'll forfeit the cashback offers and won't be able to use them.
My agent for this booking is kind of hard to get a hold of these days so thought I'd ask here before beginning any such process.
TYIA.
