Next Cruise Cert

[Debitoo]

I'm sure this has been asked before but I'm not feeling very "searchey" this morning! :o I am sailing on the Rhapsody in June. I plan on purchasing a NC certificate while on board. Can I apply that certificate for a cruise that I already have booked for 2014?

 

Thank you! :)

No you can not. You could cancel and re-book using the NextCruise but prices may have changed since you booked it and you could lose your cabin

Oh poop....that's what I was afraid of....:(

 

Thanks for the quick reply....:)

If prices have not changed then your fine and you won't loose your cabin. You just call Royal and have them cancel and rebook with the certificate right there. I have done it several times without a problem. Key is that the price has not gone up because if it has the OBC may not be worth paying more for the cabin.

It's definitely worth a try. Thanks!

Also check port fees and taxes before you cancel. Sometimes the amounts change. I have a 5 night booked for Bermuda and the fees went up from $105 to $160 since I originally made my booking. That is a $55pp difference.

If that doesn't work out for you, just a reminder that as of now, those cruise certificates don't have any expiration date, so you're under no pressure to hurry and find another cruise to book within a certain time frame.

 

Enjoy your cruise!

Just curious..If we want to be able to book 2 rooms for a future cruise in 2015, will I need to buy 2 certificates or just 1 per booking?

Under the old program, you would have just have needed to purchase one certificate and then use the attached Friends & Family Certificate.

 

Under what we understand of the new program (effective March 16, 2013) you would need to purchase 2 Open Bookings because they no longer offer the F&F Certificates.

I see on my travel docs for our May cruise it has listed The Friends & Family discount..Will they not honor that I guess if it has just recently changed..

Thx for the feedback.. :)
