Refundable deposit or Non-refundable deposit

[HSBC]

I plan to book a cruise from Royal Caribbean website, how can I know whether it is Refundable deposit or Non-refundable deposit?

Thanks!

It will default to NRD.  There may* be an option at the end of the booking (on the page for selecting dining, pre-paid grats, insurance).

 

* Guarantees and suites do not have a refundable option.

The exception being junior suites that can be made refundable.

And the VP suites as well

Some online big box TA would show refundable option not showing on RCCL booking page.

It is there on the Royal website, you just have to go to the end of the booking process to get to it

I am interested in balcony with assigned cabin#.  As my planned cruise to be late 2024, I would be more comfortable to book refundable option.

Thanks for all your response!

Update: These will be NRD for bookings on/after June 1, 2023.

I think one advantage of booking refundable option: I can reprice the cruise as many times as I can.

I can't reprice the cruise if I booked non-refundable option with travel agency, am I correct?

Thanks!

You can reprice a NRD booking up to final payment date.

You can absolutely reprice NRD bookings.
