Thanks for another update Glad no hear all is good with cruise itself... Very interesting, what's going on with 11.8 Royal keep saying all is good and paid And of course credit card can't really do anything about it, since charges were approved and not canceled for any reason by the credit card company.

Thanks, my problem, and I'm sure many others are sort of different if you've seen another thread. Booked a bunch of NEW stuff as soon as they came out, on the 8th. Credit card was charged, charges pending, received confirmation emails, separate cruises, in like 5 min or less. Then around 3-4 day mark, pending charges disappeared from the card. Order history and everything, still showed, booked and paid for cruise planner purchases. But still no charges on my card that went through. Purchases another item, about 3 days later after initial. All went without any problems, was processed and on the card in 3 days. Now me, and many other don't know what to do. Royal says all good. Card, chase in my case saying it's the merchant that must collect the transaction and so far didn't, that's why it disappeared, that was authorized and pending on the card...

Wondering same thing, did the charges appeared back on the card, like Royal rep told you they will?

Sounds like a big mess... Waiting to hear what they tell you and do about 11.08 purchases... Looks like there's various responses from Royal Caribbean, but so far haven't heard anyone, that those missing charges actually been resolved.

Not sure, if it's related to chase, since chase holds a lot of cards, my is Amazon. I'm thinking it's more related if it was purchased on the 8th. Received my confirmation email shortly after. However in order history on website, it says that order made on the 9th. And had order from 2 separate cruises. I've placed another order on 11th, same credit card, and 3 days later it was processed normally.

Please let us know, especially me ASAP If no changes. I might try to call Royal in the beginning of next week.

Yes, exactly. That's about what happens. So you thinking should wait and see? Or I should call Royal and ask? Without calling my Chase card, I know 100% that credit card have nothing to do with it. Since it approved 2 transactions when Royal charged the card seconds after purchase made.

I see... I get notified right away from chase app by notification on the cell phone when I get online transaction charged to my account. So I basically know right away

Maybe it's just wording, I'm aware that the charge must be collected, or whatever it's called. Amazon does it all the time, sometimes card gets authorized, but it only goes through after you receive the shipment And royal does it when you on a cruise. My card gets authorizations almost every day, but they slowly disappear one by one and only one total charge for the cruise goes through to the card afterwards.

But in your case, the charges never appeared on credit card as pending? Correct? Mine was pending, and then after about 3-4 days disappeared.

Now, that's completely different story now. Maybe I should call as well. Also Chase.

Honestly, those are insane prices to pay for interior cabin that may end up somewhere on Deck 3... When was the test load for? Dates? Remember the prices? Approx.

That was long ago, after that Royal drastically increased prices all over the fleet. Just purchased icon for fall 24, because new itineraries for fall 25 is almost 50% more of what I've just paid. I repeat, just paid. Not when it was released...

Yes, seems like at this moment refunds are working like they should, like in the stores. 3 business days... Of course, not saying comp main, just worrying that transactions are complete. Since after credit card transaction is processed, there's long reference # attached to it. Since transaction isn't processed, there's no reference #. All we have to go on to is initial order #. And who knows, Royal may later just cancel them all and say that credit card denied them all. All will end up with this purchases, and of course without 50% or less discounts.

Utopia isn't that bad, compared to the icon prices...

That's short Carribean, completely different...

Yes, you have exactly same problem now. I can't decide what to do if anything either....

Hey guys, any updates? My charges are still missing from the credit card, after pending hold disappeared...

Celebrity all included was that with travel agency? Can't find any good ones that doing that

Yes, same here, not too worried, but somewhat... Purchase history showing all booked and cruise planner. Reservation email and credit card charge was almost right after purchase. Just very strange with credit card, authorization holds after purchase, 99.99% of times become credit card charges and not disappeare! That's my experience with online purchases. Done it probably hundreds of times or thousands...

Exactly, I've made another small purchase on 11th, cleared on 15th, today.

And guessing Star, prices would be out of this world completely... Would still probably wait, plus Celebrity, Carribean deployment should be released that same week.

Yes, I know what you saying. I'm waiting for second part of Royal's release of Carribean and also Celebrity. Both should be week of December 4th. Where did you get good deal with Celebrity? Travel agency?

I've heard about last, year, but for me it was OK. If you read my initial post. My charges were pending. Then disappeared. Because pending charges, depending on your card/bank, either get fully processed or they get released back to your available balance. Usually in like 3-4 days. But some saying this is sort of normal, and should come back to the card as a charge shortly. According to what I see on my account it's all booked. Can't even reserve anything on that time slot, Royal's system saying and showing that I already have another booked excursion.

Actually my card is Amazon, but it's issued by Chase. Bought on the 8th, was pending for like 3-4 days. Then disappeared. Now it's 7th day, still nothing But thanks for your reply. Hopefully all is good.
