wayne_trisha Posted November 13, 2013 #2 Share Posted November 13, 2013 with no fee..looks like half the group bailing on the cruise,,,grace period? You can cancel at anytime. The fee for cancelling can be found in your contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ourusualbeach Posted November 13, 2013 #3 Share Posted November 13, 2013 No grace period that I know of but was it the final payment date as set by RCI or by your TA. TA's will normally set final payment at least 7 days, if not more in advance do RCI's official date. You would have until midnight on RCI's final payment date to cancel without penalty.

Ashland Posted November 13, 2013 #4 Share Posted November 13, 2013 It's the day final payment is due according to RCI...not the date you opt to pay final payment...This can be a big difference to some in certain situations...And hopefully if you used a TA you won't have to pay them a cancellation fee.

cruisnseas Posted November 13, 2013 #9 Share Posted November 13, 2013 They had you pay early. Final payment is due 75 days before a cruise. You have 89 day until your cruise. You can cancel in the next 2 weeks and receive a full refund. You final payment date will be the 26th after which penalty will apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(88 days, but who's counting? ;)) Sorry that you have to cancel. Hope that you get to sail soon! Edited November 13, 2013 by Merion_Mom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisnseas Posted November 13, 2013 #11 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I included today in my count :) Looks like the OPs TA required payment a full 14 days before final was due. Super common. And, on the plus side, allows for this very thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maureencruiser Posted November 13, 2013 #12 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Are you sure you want to cancel just because your friends did? I say, go, have a great time and show them all the pics and make them jealous! :D And next time, don't do the big group thing, this happens a lot. :( Book your own vacation and have a great time!

I'm with M! They had you pay early. Final payment is due 75 days before a cruise. You have 89 day until your cruise. You can cancel in the next 2 weeks and receive a full refund. You final payment date will be the 26th after which penalty will apply. For some holiday sailings, final is required 90 days before. Call your TA ASAP! Hope everything works out for you.

Let'sGo! Posted November 13, 2013 #15 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I usually book with an online TA. I noticed that our final payment is always due to them several weeks before RCCL's deadline. When I asked about it, I was told that the cruise line does require group bookings to be paid for a little sooner. That way whatever the agency can't clear, gets released back to the cruiseline. Sorry you can't make your cruise, just the same! Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted November 13, 2013 #16 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I'm with M! For some holiday sailings, final is required 90 days before. Call your TA ASAP! Hope everything works out for you. February 8 is not a holiday sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
