Michael Vitale Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Question: I clicked on "refundable deposit" option, and when the final price breakdown came up, it showed the cancel date points and its % penalty. So it seems as though I'm paying extra for a "refundable deposit", but if life intervenes and I can't go I get my $500 back, but I'm hit with a 50% penalty ??? Can someone explain this ?

craig403 Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 The 90 day refund rule is still enforce. For a cruise booked for December 3rd I could get a full deposit refund up until September 4th. The no-refund rate is just a less expensive rate for bookings that you really intend to use. Royal may be some latitude for the rule for extreme circumstances. One of the larger TA's has $200.00 charge for any cancellation at any time. They do allow for a one time change. Maybe Royal has this same policy. Dunno. Cancel After Penalty September 4, 2017 $250 USD / person October 7, 2017 50% of total price (taxes & fees excluded) / person November 4, 2017 75% of total price (taxes & fees excluded) / person November 18, 2017 No refund except for taxes & fees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Those cancelation penalties are for after final payment. The difference is if you cancel 200 days in advance, you get all your money back with a refundable fare, whereas non-refundable fare would not.

jticarruthers Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Said differently ... refundable deposits become non-refundable after the final payment date , non-refundable deposits are always non-refundable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
