Fees and Penalties

[go titans]

What fees or penalities does RC charge if I need to change the date of travel or cancel altogether?

Looking to book but won't be sure if the travel date will work until closer to the time of the cruise.

First off depends where you are from. The rules differ between the US and other countries. Also, the length of the cruise and when you are sailing come into play. The longer the cruise the farther out fees kick in, as well as holiday sailings having stiffer rules.

 

A little more info would provide more accurate answers.

I have changed cruise dates more than once with no penalty or fee. But I don't believe you can change the travel date after you have made final payment. You can get all your money back if you have to cancel prior to your final payment date.

Live in the US. Looking at a 7 day NE/Canada cruise Sept/Oct 2013 timeframe.

 

Thanks for the replies.
