Long story, My wife and I were going to spend December 2023 in the Philippines visiting her family. We decided that while we were there we would take a short cruise on Spectrum out of Singapore so we booked a 4 day cruise. We also book a 2nd cabin for two of my wife's nieces who live in the Philippines
Well the whole Philippines trip has fallen through so I called Royal to cancel the two cabins and get back the refundable deposits. When I called Royal they would not let me cancel our nieces' booking unless one of them called Royal which they can't as they have limited minute plans on their phones and can't sit on hold for an hour.
I should have put my name on one cabin and my wife's on the other. $200 lesson learned,
