You have to do a mock booking and go all the way through the booking process until you get to the very last page prior to inputting payment details. It's on the same page where you select your dining time. This is a major gripe of mine. It shouldn't be so hard. SpeedNoodles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also on that same page you can see the price of how much the refundable deposit cost & if you have to click/tap on the box next to refundable deposit and the the total will update to include the price of the refundable deposit.

PPPJJ-GCVAB Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 @FionaMG you are so right! It’s such a process! My MEI TA gives me quotes fairly quickly and his refundable price IS always cheaper than his non refundable one! His prices seem to always beat the price I am finding on the Royal website too!

You'll get refundable deposits and a lower price than the NRD website price as mentioned above. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, very good point, but I hate to bother my TA when I'm comparing prices on several different cruises that I most likely will end up not booking anyway (because I check way more cruises than I have the time or funds to go on. ) Vancity Cruiser and teddy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clients shopping quotes and never booking (or even booking cruises and then cancelling with a refundable deposit) is just part of the job. They're used to it. Additionally, if you're looking for group rates (maybe you're not), that's the only way to get the prices. If I could look up group rates myself I gladly would.

Melnie1 Posted May 4 Author Report Share Posted May 4 Thank you for all of the info. My TA offered to quote the refundable deposit prices for me, but like FionaMG said, I hate to ask her to do all of that extra work until I am pretty confident which cruise(s) I want to take. I was hoping there was an easier way that I hadn't come across yet. FionaMG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
