First off, I owe a big thank you to @Lovetocruise2002 for telling me to not wait any longer to book Symphony because prices keep going up. Increasing prices are one thing, but how they are structured are another. We booked on May 3. I just looked now (as I often do) and the price went up $545 net (we got $125 OBC)......the worst part of the increase was the difference in the upcharge for a refundable deposit. We paid $192 (there are 2 of us). Today's pricing shows $469.00 per cabin and loss of the OBC. Yup, that is not a typo on my part---the refundable deposit charge went up 244%. This is just plain unconscionable!

Try as I might, I cannot find any pricing that includes a refundable deposit - anywhere.. Is this a browser issue or one of the world famous Royal Caribbean website glitches ? At first I thought it was just a "suites thing" since the NRD has been an issue with suites for some time but I cannot find any refundable deposit pricing for ANY cabin category for any cruise. I mentioned this to my TA and she said that this has been causing the TAs a lot of trouble.
