Ken at the beach Posted November 24, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Last Friday I cancelled 3 different reservations (refundable deposits) Two were from the same ship for $530 each and the other was a short cruise for $210. I just received the refund today...great timing (6 days) but what surprised me the most was that it came back as one refund for $1270. In the past I would have counted myself lucky if this had come back as 3 refunds, one each for the full deposit amount. I most cases it would have shown up as 6 refunds (one per person per sailing). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's a Thanksgiving blessing. I remember during the pandemic one of my refunds was for $.10 cents. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one as well that I was going to tell you about but I keep forgetting. My TA cancelled two separate bookings for me on Oct 20th, two different people two separate deposits ($200 deposits each) actually made several months apart. The very next day Oct 21st I had one credit for $400. Since it was the day after my TA 😇 cancelled my bookings I thought that there is no way that could be them. Although I was not due any more money I thought for sure that 2 $200 refunds would appear but they never did.

Rare orville99 Posted November 24, 2022 #4 Share Posted November 24, 2022 They have been known to do some unexplainable and mystifying accounting. I had cancelled a cruise during the shutdown, and decided to go with the FCC instead of a refund because I had plenty of future cruises to use it on. After the restart I applied it to a cruise, and considered it taken care of. Their crack accounting department reapplied the same FCC to that same cruise a few months later, essentially paying off the cruise (I think I ended up paying ~$100 total on a $2,000+ cruise). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they will be ready for the next pandemic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still waiting for a little over $1,200. Since you received yours this gives me hope. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What We Found Travelling Posted November 24, 2022 #7 Share Posted November 24, 2022 I always knew Royal can do many things with the press of a button, but, in the past they have always refused to or found excuses why things can’t be done. Maybe times are changing & Royal have decided not to stuff around their clients. Time will tell… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
