I had to cancel a Royal Caribbean cruise to the Bahamas last year and was really worried about penalties. What I learned is that it depends on when you cancel — the earlier, the better. I was about 80 days out, so I was able to get my deposit back as future cruise credit. A friend of mine canceled just three weeks before sailing and lost a big chunk of their fare. To be sure I understood the rules, I called 866-227-1888. The rep explained the cancellation schedule clearly, walked me through my options, and processed everything in just a few minutes. It was a relief to know exactly what I was entitled to instead of guessing. If you ever need to instantly book, cancel, or modify a Royal Caribbean cruise, that number is the fastest way to get straightforward answers without stressing.
