Final Payment Surprise!

[Trumpeter]

Well... had been expecting my final payment for our EOS Dec 23 cruise to be at the usual time, but then noticed the charge on my credit card a month early!

 

Apparently, since we're on a 'holiday' cruise, it's 90 days instead of 70. I found that in the RCCL website somewhere.... would have been nice if my TA had let me know.

 

Oh well... can't let it spoil the fun!

 

Anybody here joining us? The Roll Call is a little slow at the moment.

We are also cruising during the holidays and our TA told us that final payment would be in 90 days, not 70. Luckily you had a credit card on file for final payment, otherwise you may have been cancelled.

Do you know where on the RCI website that is? Does it say what is considered a holiday? We are druising the day after Easter, guess I better check into that!

"Final payment of the balance must be received at Royal Caribbean's offices at least 60 days prior to the sailing date for 3, 4, or 5-night cruise vacations and 70 days prior to the sailing date for 7-night or longer cruise vacations. The payment schedule for groups is different from that of individuals. You will usually receive cruise and air documents no later than 28 days before the start of your cruise.

 

For all holiday sailings, (Christmas and New Year's), payment is due 90 days prior to sailing. "
