Royal Changes Cancellation Policy to 48 hrs

[TBone2K]

Perhaps given the number of discussions this could be pinned, since it has the actual details and not speculation.

 

Just saw an announcement from Royal on their "Cruise with Confidence".

It says go to http://*****/RCICruisingWithConfidence for more details.

Replace the stars with bit dot ly.

Hope I'm not in violation here, by working around the web link rule, but it's kind of important that people know about this.

Main thread is at

And to be fair, I trust you that's a legit link, but bit dot ly is blocked for a reason; I will never follow a bit link since there is no way of knowing where it is taking you

wow, thats a gamechanger for us.  i was all set to cancel next week before our final payment is due because even through i have insurance and can CFAR, i still would loose 25% which is significant given i have 2 cabins.  If this allows me to use the full amount for future cruises, well reconsider cancelling.  Good move RCL.

Nice option to have for sure.....I only wish I hadn't purchased the insurance for this sole purpose!

Note that Future Cruise Credits are issued per person and are not transferable.  And depending on the "sale", the amounts may differ per passenger.

Just took a look at pricing for a similar cruise to our 4/26 eastern Caribbean cruise next April.

Prices are roughly double what we paid for this one.

So even with the FCC from this cruise we'd still be way behind.

Not really much of an incentive.

Im assuming you would be able to get a better cabin for the same price you paid.  i didnt read anything in the policy stating you had to stay in the same category when you rebook or i missed that.

I think I’m going to get my bags packed and be ready for some potentially excellent last minute deals.

Can Future Cruise Credits  be used for on board credit, prepaid gratitude or short excursion?
