Kesha Jagdeo Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 I am booked on allure of the seas for presidents week 2024 but I'm nervous it will be chilly in Florida and the Bahamas in February so thinking about switching to April. Any way to transfer the deposit or am I out $100 per person no matter what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 You can always ask but if booked on a non-refundable deposit then the policy says there is a $100 per person fee charged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan79 Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 I was in the Bahamas in January and it wasn’t chilly at all and neither was Florida. If anything, the weather was absolutely perfect. About 75-80 degrees with very low humidity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 I find the air temperature to be too cold for swimming in February, but I am a wimp. I recently (this past winter) cancelled Coco Beach Club reservations for that very reason. The water temp will probably be fine but as a general rule, the air temp is not quite warm enough for swimming in Feb. Of course, it depends on a lot of variables but generally, I would not expect to swim in Feb...but that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki007 Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 february is hit or miss. If you can move to April I would definitely do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought if you booked after June or July of 2022 with non refundable you now loose entire deposit and cannot even switch for $100 per person? I thought the new deal was after that date non refundables loose 100% of deposit, no change possible even with fee? Am I understanding wrong? This might come in handy if it's still possible.

WAAAYTOOO Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 I think the new rule allows you to move a reservation with $100 PP penalty. If you cancel the reservation without a replacement booking then you lose the entire deposit. Neesa, twangster and teddy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As @WAAAYTOOO offered a full cancelation now causes the loss of the NRD deposit but a move to another ship or sail date incurs the $100 pp fee.

Kesha Jagdeo Posted May 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 To clarify: I paid a deposit of $300 and there are 3 of us. So, what I really mean is that I will have to pay the $100 per person penalty, which amounts to everything I paid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, so if I have a NRD of $500, but want to change for 2 pax, I still have $300? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddy Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 Your non-refundable deposit transfers and you have an additional charge of $100 per person. We’ve done it a couple times recently. CanHardlyWait and twangster 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddy Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 Never mind I was going to post a picture of an invoice showing the change fee added to the total, but my fat fingers can’t get the personal info blacked out using my phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So changing a cruise for 2 would result in the $100x2 change fee being added to what you owe at final payment for the new cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my $500 already paid deposit would move in full right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, since you're just moving the cruise and not cancelling. CanHardlyWait 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
