My wife and I will be on this cruise with my in laws.  

We're looking at booking a cruise for next year.  I found a 5 night cruise on Grandeur with stops in Labadee and Key West.  However, my travel agent said that any cruise with Key West on its itinerary will reschedule that stop.  Any idea what the deal is? Thanks! 

Going to be on Mariner September 27th to October 2nd.  My wife and my anniversary is September 28th.  I want to book Izumi Sushi for us that night.  I know it is a la cart, but do I need to pay for Izumi hibachi and just get sushi, or how does this work?  

Thanks everyone!

Good to know that you now have a TA (maybe an assigned one).  Do you feel like you can talk to your TA about this?  How firm does your TA seem to be on the non-refund-ability?

She pretty much said that Royal Caribbean doesnt have to do anything but if I'd like she can ask and maybe they'll be cool about everything and let me switch dates.  Only problem is the embarkation date is my wife and mine anniversary and I'd like to keep it that way.

Questions:  Who did you book with? Was it non-refundable?  Have you made final payment?  Is there another cruise you like that matches what this cruise was before it changed?

You may be able to wiggle your way out of this one on the premise that you state above.  Offer to switch to a cruise that has what you wanted instead of an outright cancellation of this one.  It may work or it may not.  Again, I don't know much about how you booked this cruise, so I am reaching a bit here.

Also, keep this in mind.  This is something I learned from all the good people on this forum.  Items that you buy in the cruise planner can be cancelled.  Buy at the price they offer today and keep checking!  There are FB groups for just about every ship sailing.  I learned from my FB group that my drink package went down in price.  If that happens to you, buy the cheaper package and cancel the more expensive package.  It takes a few days for all the money to settle, but it could be worth it.

I booked myself through the website then a few days later transferred the booking to a travel agent.  I believe it is non refundable. I have not made final payment yet. And there is one similar but out of a different port.

@Elway730  Hi and welcome to the RCB forums!

I got the same message last week and sure enough prices went up afterwards!  Boo Hoo  

Thank you!  Is there anything I can do about this? I mean if the itinerary was the same and the drink package went up or the itinerary changed and the drink package stayed the same it would be fine.  This is just not the cruise I wanted when I booked.

On same cruise?  I still can't get into the cruise planner details for the Mariner cruise with the 2 CoCo Cay stops

i.e. I see the heading with it saying 2 stops, but get an error if I try to 'plan my cruise' button.

Yeah I have the Mariner with 2 stops at coco cay. Cruise planner started working again late last night.

Well my cruise planner is back up...and not for the good.  Looks like my cruise changed to 2 stops at perfect day.  Also, the drink package which I was waiting for a sale to purchase, went up $13!  Before I start freaking out too much, did this happen for everyone, or just this cruise?

I talked to my travel agent yesterday and it looks like there are some mystery changes coming and until they are done no one including customer service can tell what the itinerary is. 

I have cleared my cookies and have used 4 separate devices.  I'll try customer service when they open. I just noticed my 4 night cruse that originally had coco cay and Nassau now has coco cay Nassau and coco cay again. No sea day.

I haven't been able to get on cruise planner for 3 or 4 days now.  Everytime I try I get this error message.  Anyone know what this means?  Thanks!
