CANCELLATION POLICY:

 

NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT CRUISE FARE RATE POLICY:

A booking made under the non-refundable deposit cruise fare rate (an “NRD Booking”) requires the payment of a non-refundable deposit at the time of booking. The deposit is not refundable at any time after it has been paid. Payment of full deposit and full name are required for each guest at the time of booking. Deposit made toward Guarantees and Grand Suites and higher categories are non-refundable and subject to NRD Booking terms.

 

Each time the guest changes the ship or sail date of an NRD Booking prior to the final payment due date, payments made towards the NRD Booking will be applied to the balance of the modified booking and a $100 per person service fee will be charged to the modified booking.

Offer available to residents of United States and Canada. Prices are subject to availability, subject to change without notice; capacity controlled, and may be withdrawn at any time.  To view the Cruise Ticket Contract please click here

REFUNDABLE GROUP RATE POLICY:

All posted website prices are considered refundable up to the final payment.  Cancellation penalties apply to all guests in a stateroom and are assessed in the event of either partial or full stateroom cancellations.  All cancellation requests must be submitted in writing to the travel advisor.  The supplier’s reservation system will keep the higher calculated penalty amount when the guest’s reservation is canceled.  Percentage penalty charged applies to total cruise fare, taxes and fees. 

 

Cancellations may be made before the final payment date of September 15, 2025, 11:59 p.m. EST, and passengers will be entitled to a full refund with the exception of suite cabins. Full refunds will only be granted to cancellations made before the final payment date that are booked at the provided group rates.  Any cancellations made after September 15, 2024 will be subject to the following penalties and schedule: 

 

  • Cancellations made between September 15, 2025 and October 6, 2025 – 25% per passenger cruise fare penalty assessed
  • Cancellations made between October 7, 2025 and October 20, 2025 – 50% per passenger cruise fare penalty assessed

FAQs:

Q: Will I need a passport for this cruise?

A: Not necessarily. Royal Caribbean strongly recommends that all guests travel with a valid passport. If a guest either misses the ship at its scheduled U.S. departure port and needs to travel outside the U.S. to meet the ship, or unexpectedly needs to depart the ship from a foreign port prior to the end of the cruise, a passport would be required to leave or re-enter the U.S. by air. 

 

Q: What documents are required to cruise?

A: A passport is the best travel document to carry to cruise to the Caribbean, Bermuda, Alaska and other countries. If you do not have a passport, in most cases, a birth certificate and a government-issued State ID are acceptable documents. Guests under the age of 16 will NOT need a government-issued state ID. Learn more about requirements.

 

Q: What if I'm pregnant?

A: You may cruise as long as you have not entered your 24th week of pregnancy. Royal Caribbean will make every effort to accommodate you, providing you have not entered the 24th week of pregnancy when the cruise ends. Please include your cruise details in an email to the travel advisor at your earliest convenience.

 

Q: Can I bring alcohol on board from home or from a port of call?

A: Please note that with the exception of Wine and Champagne, all guests are prohibited from bringing alcohol onboard our ships. If you purchase any alcohol at one of our ports-of-call or in our onboard shops, we will safely store your purchase(s), and either on the final night of the cruise or the morning of debarkation, it will be available for pick up in a designated area. On boarding day, guests may bring onboard two (2) 750 ml bottles of personal wine or champagne per stateroom in their carry-on luggage.

 

Q: What if I have a special diet?

A: If you have any food allergy or a dietary requirement that requires Kosher meals or gluten-free food product, please notify the travel advisor at the time of booking. 

 

Q: Are any shore excursions included?

A: Shore excursions are not included in the base package, however, you may look at some featured excursions on the website. This is not an exhaustive list - you can visit Project Expedition for additional options or Royal Caribbean's shore excursions list.

 

Q: What are the COVID-19 protocols for Royal Caribbean?

A: You can learn more about Royal Caribbean's safety protocols here

Q: What does Allianz Classic Plan with Cancel Anytime Travel Insurance cover?

A: The Classic with Cancel Anytime Plan gives you the extra flexibility of knowing they can cancel their trip for almost any unforeseen reason that the Classic plan does not already cover at 100% and receive 80% of their non-refundable trip costs back. It includes benefits like trip cancellation protection, primary emergency medical benefits, 24-hour travel assistance, and more. This plan also has SmartBenefitsSM that can pay your clients proactively and simplify their claims process with no receipts required.

With the Royal Caribbean Travel Protection Program Cancellation Penalty Waiver (a non-insurance feature offered by Royal Caribbean), if your plans go awry and you cancel your cruise vacation (for specified reasons), Royal Caribbean will waive the non-refundable cancellation provision of your cruise ticket contract and pay you IN CASH the value of the unused portion of your prepaid cruise vacation. In addition, should you need to cancel for "any other reason" you may be eligible for credit toward a future cruise - up to 90% of the non-refundable, prepaid cruise vacation cost.

Because our liability for loss or damage is limited by the Cruise Ticket Contract, we recommend that all guests check their own insurance coverage or consider purchasing the Royal Caribbean Travel Protection Program.
