Eddie Wilson Posted August 4, 2021 #1 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Radiance 9 night cruise for Feb cancelled, and looking for a replacement, but the pickings are SLIM...... Had a spacious room-balcony, with a primo location, and great price.......swept away like a tablecloth under chinaware. No cabins even remotely comparable seem available. Does anyone know if the 90 day full payment date passes just how long until RCL opens up any cabins not paid for? Has anyone had any success in securing a nice cabin shortly after the 90 day threshold? Eddie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre COVID, RCI used to cancel for non-payment within days, now perhaps not so fast. The prices due to increased inventory inside final payment used to start dropping at about 75 days out, but now who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouhunter Posted August 4, 2021 #4 Share Posted August 4, 2021 We were booked on Radiance 9 nights in January. Gladly taking a refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbur Posted August 4, 2021 #5 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Cancelled my Vision in December and Radiance in January. So be it but they still require rebooked sailings to go before September . . . . you would think they woud extend it out at least 2 months. Everyone is trying to cram sailings in before September Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shippmates Posted August 4, 2021 #6 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I would call or have your travel agent call Royal and ask them what dates you can use to do a lift & shift. They may have two cruises that would protect your price and cabin category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were flying into FLL anyway, so we may look at that one and will not even change flights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lift and shift was the exception. You need to create a new reservation and then take the refund or FCC and apply it to the new reservation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted August 5, 2021 #10 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I thought you can use a FCC to pay the balance on an existing reservation you all ready have booked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since you commingled threads you realize I did book the replacement cruise. My mother had a saying, it’s easy to complain, tougher to compliment. In Covid, and I guess on these boards we all can testify to that. Eddie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L&S is a joke for this since the ship won't be back to that port so cannot do the L&S. Got them rebooked on Allure and she moved the FCC immediately for me. Sometimes you just have to call back until you get someone that knows what they are doing and are helpful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted August 5, 2021 #16 Share Posted August 5, 2021 What does a FCC look like, is it a document you receive, a number , just what does it look like. Anyone have one to scan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, For the time being we will hold off re-booking another cruise. With that email, RCL eliminated thousands of available cabins. I'm not going to look for a trip just for the sake of taking one. Yesterday I canceled the hotels and flights. Maybe 2023 will be better, lets hope so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does your letter say, have you actually called Royal. Take responsibility for your own cruise or get a TA and don't rely on this site for everything. What someone posts about their cruise may not apply to yours even if its only a week apart. Edited August 5, 2021 by Ourusualbeach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
