bbowers 14 Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 Our April 24 cruise on Adventure was cancelled in March. We still haven't gotten our port fees and taxes reimbursed to us yet. Has anyone in the same time frame gotten theirs yet? My final payment for our Aug 29 cruise is coming up, and I need that money to pay it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hyannis 1 Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 We had ours cancelled March 24 for May 10. No money yet RCIfan1912 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
billdauterive 12 Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 I'm still missing mine from an April 6 cruise. I got the FCC for it on 4/13 (and already used it). I think it's now past the 45 business days from the cancellation date of 3/14 for the "cash" refund of taxes and fees so I'll probably be calling in soon to see the status. I've been as patient as possible by giving them the max amount of time they said they needed to process, but now I'm pretty certain it's been lost in the shuffle.

My final payment for our Aug 29 cruise is coming up, and I need that money to pay it. I had to inquire about my children’s room as I had not received their’s. I called, they basically said it still shows pending and they would re-submit it. Took about 3 weeks, but finally got it back on my CC on Friday. My kid’s room FCC came about 2 weeks before our room. That’s why I raised an eyebrow after our taxes and grats came a few days after our FCC was issued. (May 6th cruise) cancelled in round 2. As far as travel insurance I haven’t received a refund for either room. Their response was it is from a third party vendor and it’s going to take longer to see that refund. I doubt it will ever show up, but I’ll keep hounding them as they cancelled the cruise, not me. RCIfan1912 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JohnK6404 1,137 Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 No port fees, expenses and taxes refunded yet. Our cruise was a 5/31 sailing. No 125% CP OBC yet... we did get the 125% FCC on 5/22. RCIfan1912 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn’t start looking until the 30 day mark, and most likely it will show up around the 45 day area. (Based on 5/22 date) RCIfan1912 and JohnK6404 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RBRSKI 484 Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 Finally received refunds today related to cruises that were cxl'd in March. Can't figure out all of the amounts though. RCIfan1912 and Dan Curtis 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Curtis 171 Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 Was supposed to be on a cruise this week, May 25th, we did receive fcc on May 22, but our cruise has been canceled for over 30 days for sure, we called Monday night about our taxes and port fees, actually got thru very quick, we hit option 6 on the phone, agent said it had not been processed at all yet and probably would be another 30 to 45 days before we receive it, I guess they are just over whelmed.

marti314 609 Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 Isnt it funny how the Cruise planner cancellations or previously cancelled cruises were all instantly refunded credit yet now it takes months to refund or multiply a number x 1.25.... As far as they are concerned its an interest free loan they are sitting on. I cant imagine they have some group physically applying refunds. This math isnt hard and the data is all in a database.

Hyannis 1 Posted May 29 Report Share Posted May 29 Mine was fully refunded on March 24 for May 10 sailing. AAA said it would take 3 billing cycles to get back on CC. Don’t want to call AAA again so is there a number I can call to find out besides AAA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RCIfan1912 673 Posted May 29 Report Share Posted May 29 Oh wow I guess we aren't the only ones. Our Oasis May 10th cruise cancelled but I can't remember when, anyone know when that round of cancellations happened? Anyway we still haven't gotten our taxes and port fees back. We actually have been looking at all our old files but no, we didn't get it yet and our taxes and port fees for the rescheduled Oasis cruise Sept. 6th are due May 31. Was hoping to get back the money we were owed before forking over more money to Royal but looks like that ain't gonna happen. Should we be worried we didn't get that money yet?

CrznTxn 235 Posted May 29 Report Share Posted May 29 Received a partial refund for our March 22 cruise's taxes, port fees, gratuities and insurance on May 17th. Amount received does not add up to anything on the list but am waiting on the balance. Received Cruise Planner items refunds within two weeks for same cruise. Have two cruises in June and July that were cancelled and not sure when we will see that money refunded. For the June cruise it is the taxes, port fees, insurance and gratuities along with the Cruise Planner items purchased. The July cruise we opted to wait on any Cruise Planner purchases until we got closer. At least the credit card will have a large negative balance when we get all the refunds back. We are resigned to waiting and hoping that Royal gets to start in August so our November cruise will happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wish they would give us the option to just have them keep the refund for the rescheduled cruise and if there is a difference let us pay that. It makes no sense to give us back money so we can then pay the taxes and fees for the rescheduled cruise. To me it makes no sense anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Marc Van Niekerk 237 Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 If it has been over 45 days and you booked through a travel agent, have them follow up. We heard reports that some refunds have 'Fallen through the cracks' and so we had our agent follow up today and this was confirmed. We don't have the refund yet but were told 7-10 days.

bbowers 14 Posted June 4 Author Report Share Posted June 4 Well with the sale going on in cruise planner, I would like to give them some money again if I saw my refund this week. But until I do, they aren't getting another dime of mine. Sailing Aug 29 on Symphony. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvink669 4 Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 our cruise was on June 7th so within this third group of cancelations. We got the FCC on 5/22 No taxes or fees have been refunded to CC No 125% on board credit cert has been issued even though we clicked the link and requested it and it specified it would be sent via e-mail on 5/22 when our FCC was sent. Has anyone received the 125% on board credit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
