Pregnancy wasn't planned and I am a first time cruiser. Never really gave it any thought and as you can fly up to 36weeks in your pregnancy I didn't think going on a boat would cause any issues.

It was only upon collecting tickets today that I have been made aware of the 24 week rule

I would call the TA and see what your options are as when booking through one they manage your booking, not the cruise line. They will be in the best position to work with RCI with your options. Also contact the insurance provider to discuss coverage with them.

 

Not trying to be rude, but as to not being told the rules regarding pregnancy by them, as you were not pregnant at the time of the booking, did you inform them that you might be at the time of sailing? Otherwise, how would they know or be able to guess that you might be? That would not be something I would normally think would be discussed by a TA when booking a cruise with a customer.

 

And with final payment date 90 days prior to sailing, you could have informed the TA regarding your pregnancy before final payment was due and then could have canceled with no penalty.

 

All policies and regulations - of which there are many - regarding cruising are also on the cruise line website.

 

I hope you can work things out.

The only camera you should be looking at is a GoPro!

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good, affordable underwater camera to use for snorkeling? Something that won't break the bank preferably. Currently I am looking at this one: Sony HDR-AS100V along with the underwater casing that you can buy separately.

 

Also, while snorkeling is it best to keep it around your wrist? Do people use the head mount while snorkeling?

 

Thanks!

Hi all,

I have a cruise booked with Royal Caribbean through a travel agency for next month.

When booking I was not pregnant, travel agent never mentioned rules on pregnancy etc. Balance was paid in full at time of booking.

I have since fell pregnant and will be 25 weeks at time of cruise.

Went to pick up the tickets today only

To be told I couldn't cruise.

Will my travel

Insurance cover me for a full refund or do I take it up with travel agent for

Not informing me of cruising rules around pregnancy etc

Help!!!!!!!
