Deposit and final Payment

[QuickieGlenn]

I normally cruise with NCL but the time and place I will like to take a cruise nothing appeals to me but RCCl has a few options

 

I have not cruised with RCCL since 2010

 

I see they ask for a larger non refundable deposit than NCL

 

How long before the sail date do you have to pay in full?

 

Thanks

For cruises six days or longer it is normally 90 days.  However, currently due to their CWC policies,  cruises through Jan 2022 have a 45 day final payment day.

They also offer a refundable deposit at a higher price point for the cruise.  Just in case you hadn’t noticed that.  It shows up as an option in the later stages of the online booking process.

You must go all the way through past where you fill in all of your personal information - then the option will appear, along with offers to include your onboard gratuities and insurance.

It's also worth noting the non-refundable portion of the deposit is just $100 per person. The remaining deposit amount is refundable as a future cruise credit

And if you are booking a suite (Grand Suite or above) there is no refundable option.

If you book with a travel agent whose affiliation has Group Pricing for that sailing, it's fully refundable up until Final Payment without paying the higher price.
