Montanagirlalways Posted October 17, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 17, 2021 For the first time we decided to book a GTY cabin. On review of the invoice I noticed "The booking is currently subject to USD 500.00 cancellation penalties at time of this booking ivoice. This amount may increase based on the cruise penalty schedule" Has anyone else noticed this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayuil Posted October 17, 2021 #2 Share Posted October 17, 2021 What is your cruise sail date? I booked GTY category but my sailing is within their cruise with confidence program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willing292 Posted October 17, 2021 #3 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I remember there being a non refundable deposit on suites in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1 Posted October 17, 2021 #4 Share Posted October 17, 2021 As I have seen it on the booking confirmations for my Dec. 5th Anthem of the Seas sailing, there were a lot of NRD promotional codes being applied since re-start, i.e. BOGO, Resident, and Save More. This was for everything from Inside Cabins to Balcony Staterooms, since I kept upgrading (and/or getting refunded) every time there was a price drop.

MeHeartCruising Posted October 17, 2021 #6 Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) During the online booking process I went thru last month for Sept. 2022 cruises, at one point the screen showed an option to select a REFUNDABLE deposit for a higher cruise price. The default was a non-refundable deposit at a lower cruise price. I found adequate info on the screen to understand what I was agreeing to. I chose the non-refundable option to maintain the lower price. While the deposit is non-refundable, you can change it to a different cruise for a change fee of $100. On my reservation at least. Hasn’t Royal Caribbean had this choice for a while now? I’ve read about it on CruiseCritic for a few years, I think.

We initially did our own balcony and chose a gty ocean. Upon reviewing the co formation it was an accredited snide balcony. Now about a week later we called RC and got it straightened out for an gty ocean balcony. Then my husband noticed the price seemed cheaper. But tons it say no refundable etc etc. well we don’t plan to change but that helps to explain it. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRF Posted October 18, 2021 #8 Share Posted October 18, 2021 The non-refundable portion was $100 per person for the past several years. It applied to all suites (I think, I know it applied to GS and above), and to NRD bookings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
