A Royal Caribbean non-refundable deposit (NRD) is a fare type that is not refunded if you cancel; the deposit is forfeited (+1-855-732-4023 or +44-289-708-0062 UK.). However, you can receive a future cruise credit (FCC) for the deposit amount if you cancel before the final payment is due.(+1-855-732-4023 or +44-289-708-0062 UK.) These fares are often cheaper than refundable options and may be mandatory for higher-tier suites and guarantee categories.
How it works
Cancellation:(+1-855-732-4023 or +44-289-708-0062 UK.)
If you cancel before the final payment due date, the non-refundable deposit is kept by Royal Caribbean, but any other payments you've made are refunded.
Future Cruise Credit (FCC):(+1-855-732-4023 or +44-289-708-0062 UK.)
Instead of a cash refund, you will receive a Future Cruise Credit for the deposit amount.
The FCC is non-transferable and non-refundable. (+1-855-732-4023 or +44-289-708-0062 UK.)
It can only be used for a future Royal Caribbean cruise and expires 12 months after the issue date.
Changes:(+1-855-732-4023 or +44-289-708-0062 UK.)
You can change your ship or sail date, but there may be a penalty fee of $100 per person.
