Noskill Posted February 20, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I'm on a cruise that is fully paid and departing in less than 45 days. With the dramatic price drops on some close in cruises, I was wondering if there is any ability to change my reservation to another ship without losing everything I've paid for this cruise. Has anyone ever done this or do I just need to be happy with the cruise I have booked :) ? For reference, I'm on the Enchantment of the Seas in an interior for 7 nights and am interested in changing to the Anthem Transatlantic, 12 nights, in a balcony (which is currently priced less than my original cruise).

Noskill Posted February 20, 2020 Author #4 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Thanks for the responses. That's what I figured. Now to decide if the Transatlantic fare + 75% of the original cruise is still a good deal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRF Posted February 23, 2020 #5 Share Posted February 23, 2020 If the TA is that cheap, do both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stompy Posted February 27, 2020 #6 Share Posted February 27, 2020 But what if you don’t cancel it and just change the original booking to a future cruise. Would it just be the normal $100 change fee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 45 days they are in the 75% penalty phase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what happens if you have "cancel-for-any-reason" cruise insurance? Would you get 75% back as a FCC? If so, that might be a better route to go...

stompy Posted February 27, 2020 #10 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Well just cancelled the bid on the Villa Suite since the other folks couldn't change their cruise after final payment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sitting here giggling as I read this sentence. (Maybe because I just downed two Belvederes 😉) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
