How long does it take to transfer to a TA?

[abhb]

I am thinking about transferring a booking to a TA. I have called a few to see what they are offering. One TA that I spoke with told me that she has a client that attempted to transfer to her since March 5 and RCCL has done it yet.

My question is if you have transferred to a TA, how long did it take? It is worth the hassle? Our final payment is due April 2. Do I have enough time?

Thanks for any information.

We have done this on a couple occasions (usually happens when we see a cabin we want available when our TA is unavailable). Have secured the cabin and then tranferred over to our TA shortly thereafter. Usually only takes a couple days assuming you fill out the form needed to transfer (required by RCI).

 

Personally has never been a hassle for us!!! Remember there are always 2 sides to a story. YMMV. ;)

having filled in the form and emailed it, it has always taken no more than 24 hours.

I have only done this twice, but it has only taken a day or two.

We booked our cruise on AOS for this summer when we sailed on Enchantment last year. When we got home we transferred it to our TA. Just have to fill out the paperwork. It only took a day or two.:)

It usually takes me a business day or 2.

I faxed my request to RCI and within an hour it had been transferred to the travel agent. This was in January 09 for a May 09 cruise.

I have always faxed the request for transfer and it has never taken longer than 2 business days.

It seems to be taking no longer than 3 business days................and sometimes 2.

 

Unlike the days of old..........where you could transfer your booking immediatly..............the RCCL sales department must approve of this first.

 

The world becomes more complicated.......as we grow!!

My experience is that it takes longer now than a year ago...:mad:

 

Oh well, I have a month, or a few days less to finish planning for AK and transfer that one before final payment is due. That reminds me I need to go check to see if any better cabins have opened up or if the price has dropped....ideally on a better cabin so I can upgrade for even or slight price increase.
