Final payment for 5 night cruise

[moandbo]

We booked the Nov 5 Brilliance cruise over a year ago, and the final payment has been listed as Sept 6 since then. My sister-in-law just decided to join us and booked a few weeks ago, and her final payment is due Aug 7. Has RCCL changed when the final payment is due for short cruises within the past year? I was planning to pay ours at the beginning of Sept, but I got an email today saying our final payment was due - but it didn't say when. On-line, under the payment tab it still says Sept 6, but now I'm wondering if I shouldn't take any chances and pay it now.

Royal changed the final payment dates this past March. The 5-day went from 60 days in advance to 90 days in advance.

Thank you for the quick response - that explains it. Does that apply to already booked cruises? My reservation on-line still says Sept 6, but their auto-reminder email thinks it's due now. Which one wins?

Yours stays the same as on your invoice: 60 days.

 

Theirs is under the new rules: 90 days.

 

They got caught in two changes: longer time before final payment for all cruises, and five nights went from the 60 day/75 day group to the 75 day/90 day group.
