Transfer booking from TA to RCI?

[Lyndonn]

Our RCI booking was originally booked with a Travel Agent and I would now like to transfer my booking back to Royal Caribbean. Is that possible?   Thank you

You need to get the OK from your travel agent.  If you have had trouble or no response from the TA then Royal may take your booking back without TA approval.

It is only under the most extreme circumstances that Royal will take a booking away from a TA without their permission

Neither of these is true.  We called RCL and they were very cooperative about taking the booking away from the TA.  We were not asked if we had approval from the TA. All that was required was a simple email stating that we wanted our booking transferred to RCL.

Why ? You booked via a TA ? Did you FA ? just asking for a friend ...😇

What is an FA?  Also asking for a friend.  😉

Royal is one of those companies that I 100% trust. I doubt they could do anything without a prior notice, especially when it comes to taking someone's booking away. We need more info on that

I'm curious also, but is it one of those things that I really don't want to know?

You might be right.  I also thought it might be one of those phrases that need to be translated from Australian.  😉

Was that US RCI or the German one and how long ago?

Thank you for your replies.  Our booking was made about 18 months ago with the TA.  Sadly with the pandemic I no longer am able to receive a response from the TA.

If you are questioned by Royal I'm sure that that is all the reason you need.

I think happened to me once and first they tried to call the TA and see if they answered before they did it. .. but that was regular not covid times.
