Bowen Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 We're trying to plan a cruise with another family right now. They have a semi firm date in mind but haven't booked yet. Is there any way I can book and then change the booking if I need to swap it in a week or so? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregD Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 yes, assuming you are more than 90 days away from the departure date you would be able to change with only the $100pp change fee. RCIfan1912 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddy Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 I’m not trying to beat a dead horse, but….Do you have a travel agent? This would be one of the scenarios that a good travel agent would come in handy. If you book it yourself and book refundable deposit, then you can change any time before final payment. If you book non-refundable, you’ll pay that $100/pp change fee. RCIfan1912 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have one, but it was a friend and she lost me thousands of dollars once by not telling me about a window in which I either had to accept a new ship or cancel my cruise. It left a bad taste in my mouth. I probably could use one now, but the thought of giving over control, it bugs me. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowen Posted February 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 Okay, the family we are planning with put a 24 hour hold on a room, so we did the same! Hopefully tomorrow this will be a done deal. DoomSlayer, WAAAYTOOO and teddy 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travel agents are a strange thing in you are giving up some control in one way or another. I would never use a friend. If you are not sure what you are doing it is good to have a good travel agent. This message board is great because it allows you to ask others for recommendations. If you know what you are doing and are just looking for perks you can always use a well-known (non-big internet) one to get the perks. I use Costco travel because I like to book and organize my cruises and then I turn it over to them to get the perks and help me with issues. Not having a travel agent is not a killer just make sure you know what you are doing before doing it. Otherwise ask questions.
