CaribbeanLover22 Posted January 31, 2021 #1 Share Posted January 31, 2021 If I have a cruise booked, can I book another with overlapping dates? If I have Feb 6-13 already booked, will it allow me to also book Feb 12-20? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted January 31, 2021 #7 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I have two overlapped right now. Weeks ago I knew my 11 night Hawaii to Vancouver cruise on May 5th won't happen (but RCI refusing to officially cancel 😣)...I then booked short 4 night on Mariner out of PC on May 10th. Now I don't think that will go either, but easy to cancel my plans with no flights or hotels to worry about on the Mariner cruise. I will be cancelling the Hawaii cruise on final payment date. Will let RCI cancel Mariner cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillHana Posted January 31, 2021 #9 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I have to ask... Why would you want to book and pay deposit for being two different places at the same time? What am I missing?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruises are booked long before flights by many. Edited January 31, 2021 by Ourusualbeach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to their C&A records, DW boarded a southern Caribbean out of San Juan the day before we got off of a western Caribbean out of Florida.

Call it what you wish but it wasn't Royal's intent for people to get 50% cruise discounts. And if someone did that multiple times intentionally, I would call it abuse. However, nothing illegal was done and they played within the rules. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, nothing illegal was done and they played within the rules. i think quite a few Lift & Shifts were booked at a very good discount. We moved our Explorer Transatlantic to the Odyssey TA via Lift & Shift, and the list price of Odyssey was about twice what we paid for Explorer. Without Lift & Shift, we would’ve requested a refund. Instead, RCI has had our deposit for over 2 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCCL makes many rules/procedures/programs but doesn't think them through. Soremekum, I blame RCCL for allowing that type of L&S mentioned, but I don't fault those smart enough to take advantage of it. It was no secret, folks mentioned it here and on other social media sites. Only wish I had listened. RCCL should have made new booking restrictions, some types of ship changes ineligible etc., but they didn't. Bottom line is they were likely happy to get/keep booking dollars.

RCI will now limit Lift & Shift to cruises it cancels, and with tighter restrictions than in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken would know how Royal handles the TBD future certificates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken would know how Royal handles the TBD future certificates. There is not even a need to change the name. Name changes can be done up to 72 hours prior to sailing. When one name is a TBD all the money for a FCC would then go to the one guest on the invoice.....might take a while as I've actually had them issue the FCC's to a TBD but it was easily corrected when we went to apply them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
