Jcol5786 Posted March 31, 2021 #1 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Hi, This cruise comes up at a good price and the you pick option is much less than the they pick. Got an aft balcony for $1298 Cd. Could have had an ocean view for under $1000. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We booked a 4B balcony but I don't see where the Refundable option for the deposit is. Is it based on specific cabins within the category? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be at the very end of the booking just before you enter credit card information. Refundable deposit is an option on most bookings. I just went through and didn’t see it either. I checked on cruising power and the price is the same for both refundable and non refundable, perhaps that is why it is not showing up. refundable / non refundable is never based on certain cabins.

I'm getting a total of $688( for 2) cruise fare plus $226(for 2) for taxes and port fees.Total of $914 Still not as good as the 5 day price I got for Seranade on October 20, 2022 of All in total Balcony price of $697.00 for 2 people. So we will pass on the Rhapsody Option Edited April 1, 2021 by Jimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we call? I’m not sure how it works through the consumer site. I would definitely call. On the TA site I can select either refundable or non so it is very clear. did you get an invoice. on the cruise fare line if it just says BOGO 60 then a price it is refundable. the non refundable will read BOGO 60 NRD.
