I booked fos dec 31 2013 for October t got a great price even for an interior 1190 total 100 $ discount plus 50 coupon they sent me so fast forward to yesterday I have refer 9 other guests for this cruise who has never sailed with royal Caribbean before 3 additional staterooms . so I go to enter my bring a friend to find out they are not eligible due to the ta putting me into a group booking that I wasn't aware of . my ta has seen left company . I have been on the phone for 2hrs to get some help. At what point is enough . still appears I will not get my referral s. so any advise would be helpful. it will not ruin my cruise if I don't get them but what is fair is fair . I will have a GREAT time

Cancel your booking with TA and rebook with RCI.

Unfortunately, you will have to fight it out with your TA. If they booked you in a group booking, it does not qualify for the "refer a friend" OBC.

 

Also, since you booked with a TA, Royal can't even talk to you about your booking. They will only deal with the travel agency.

Chances are you're getting some kind of perk for being booked in the group -- like OBC. If they take you out of the group you may lose your OBC -- it could be worth it if you'd get more from the friend referrals.

I don't understand this comment. The issue is the TA. :rolleyes:

Hope it works out for you. This is why I don't use a TA. :)

Do check what you would lose by switching out of the group booking. Sometimes besides OBC there might be a cocktail party, wine or something else.

The bennies could be better staying with the group.
