CruizIan Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 Fellow Cruisers, As a lot of us have had cruises cancelled in the past year I just wanted to share with everyone something interesting that I just stumbled upon. I had a cruise cancelled last September and again this past February. My Cruise had been completely paid off going into Sept since final pay date had already occurred. We took the %125 credit and moved to February sailing. When I started listening to RCB podcast in December and hearing so much about using a Travel Agent I wanted to give it a try. I reached out to MEI travel to see if I could transfer my reservation to an agent. (I have now re-booked again for this upcoming September) When I told Sharla Manglass that the cruise was paid off I was bummed to find out that you cannot move it to a travel agent at that point. A couple of weeks later I was on my cruise planner (I am weird and look at the deals like once a week for changes to price and offerings) and noticed I had a balance of just under $300 on my cruise that was owed. I remembered that each time you have to move your cruise they refund you the Port Fees and Taxes. With the information that my cruise was not technically paid in full I got back with Sharla and she was able to take ownership of my reservation because it was more than 6 months out at the time. If you have been thinking about using a travel agent perhaps on your next sailing that you book but think you cant on your current because you began booking so long ago, this might be a loophole for you. This is my first post so bare with me if this is of no use to anyone, looking forward to connecting with everyone.

Mark06 Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 My experience was similar. I wanted to do a L&S. Grace with MEI could not help as I had booked some time ago. I did the L&S with Royal then Grace was able to take over the new booking. I am looking forward to having MEI help with my future plans as the trip gets closer.
