RCI UK announcement Dec 19


Recommended Posts

We're also in central Scotland and now book with a US TA as prices/conditions much better. We would also never let RC book our long haul flights as much more expensive. Norwegian are also doing good flights to NY from Edinburgh if you decide to book that cruise. Airport they use is further out of city but doable.

Do you use the TAs address for your bookings, I have found it very difficult(impossible) to book using the US web site. Even booking whilst on board the agent insist on UK deals on offer.

Yes I make bookings through my US TA by email. Once booked I monitor prices using RC USA website. You need to have an existing relationship, only then when you book onboard can they transfer to TA.

My USA TA books everything using my UK address. You cannot book on the RCI USA site using a UK address.

There are many USA sites where you can book your VACATION online....

So for those here in the UK who book using a US Travel Agent, what protection do you get for those bookings? Obviously when you book via RCCL UK you are protected via ATOL and ABTA - so I’m also assuming the terms and conditions are different when booking via a US Travel Agent?

Yes, you lose the protections you had with the UK booking, but gain the ability to get price drops and cancel before final payment date for a full refund (assuming you opted for refundable deposit).
