Lady Hudson Posted June 1, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Would I be allowed to switch from a jr suite to an inside without penalty? Same sailing. Thought I would need the points to get to the next Crown and Anchor level but now looks like I won’t need them. Would rather save the $ for another cruise.😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted June 1, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Yes. Penalty is charged when cancelling, changing sail date, or changing ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not changing saildate or ship, Bob. Just downgrading cabin category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an absence of a rule for cabin changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an absence of a rule for cabin changes. See #22 in their PDF. Seems about as pretty much a rule as the penalty for changing ship and sail date is. Of course anything could change at any time . http://creative.rccl.com/Sales/Royal/LTYA_News/17056800_Nonrefundable_FAQ_News.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an absence of a rule for cabin changes. This is from Royal's flyer 22. Should my Suite client choose to downgrade to a balcony stateroom after already confirming a Suite, will the booking remain under non-refundable status? Will a change fee be incurred to adjust inventory types? Any booking originally created as non-refundable will maintain this status for the life of the reservation, regardless of subsequent category changes. Change fees are only incurred should an adjustment to the ship and/or sail date occur; therefore, no change fee will be assessed upon swapping between category types on the same ship and sail date.

steveru621 Posted June 1, 2019 #12 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I stand corrected. The next cruise flyer has no such rule. You have quoted the TA PDF. Let's see how long it takes for RCI to dis-allow a cabin downgrade when you are taking money out of their pockets? JMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Hudson Posted June 2, 2019 Author #15 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Reporting back. I did downgrade and saved over $1000. Only lost $50 of OBC. So I think it was a good deal. Thanks for all the help. Katherine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karena1 Posted June 2, 2019 #17 Share Posted June 2, 2019 awesome! the only way you should have to pay a penalty is changing ships/sail date. So happy you were able to downgrade to a different category with no issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMHO This has been the rule since the non-refundable deposit started a few years back. RCI hasn't changed anything since starting it, because it's not actually taking money out of their pockets -- they still get to sell the same number of cabins!
