I am writing to share my concerns and frustrations about a recent experience with your phone agents while trying to use the Best Price Guarantee advertised on your website, and to request assistance in addressing a lack of reasonable accommodations for my accessibility needs.When I initially contacted your customer service team, the first representative was unaware of the Best Price Guarantee program and insisted it did not apply to my cruise. After I explained the policy and provided a screenshot directly from your website, the agent acknowledged the program and transferred me to another department after a 1015 minute ******* that department, ***** explained I was eligible for an upgrade under the Best Price Guarantee but would need to pay the price difference. I could not locate anywhere on the Royal Caribbean website where this requirement is stated, which left me very confused.Because I have a disability, I asked for a written explanation and a link to the official policy so I could review the details in an accessible format. Unfortunately, ***** informed me he could not send me this information and that Royal Caribbean does not provide such accommodations, asking me instead to locate it on my own. I found this response to be very disappointing and inconsistent with what I expect in terms of reasonable accessibility ********** resolve these concerns, I am kindly requesting the following:1.A clear written explanation of the Best Price Guarantee, including whether upgrades require customers to pay price *************** direct link to the full policy terms and conditions for my records.3.Clarification on Royal Caribbeans policies for providing reasonable accommodations for customers with disabilities.Ultimately, I am contacting you because I would like to take advantage of the Best Price Guarantee fairly, either through a proper price match, an onboard credit adjustment, or a suitable upgrade in line with the program as advertised.Business Response

Case: 23575514Thank you for forwarding a copy of the complaint filed with your agency. We appreciate this opportunity to respond.
According to our records, this guest is in a Guarantee NQ category. This is where guests will be berthed in the lowest Neighborhood Balcony category available for three or four guests at the time the booking is assigned to a stateroom. This is also an Accessible Stateroom.
In addition, according to our records, the guest called requesting a Best Price Guarantee. However, this request was made on July ******. This is well past the final payment date of June 7, 2025. We have attached the invoice where the final payment date is clearly marked on page 2 in blue ink.
When the request for the Best Price Guarantee is made after the final payment date, we are able to offer an upgrade only if it is available for comparable cruise fare paid. There were no upgrades available at the time the guest contacted us on July 5, 2025, without additional payment needed. In addition, as of today there is also no comparable cruise fare upgrade available.
We have also included the links the guest requested:
What is the Best Price Guarantee Program? | Royal Caribbean Cruises
The terms can be found at the bottom of our website, as well as the Cruise Contract:

I booked a cruise for Royal Caribbean, our first one. I just found out that our booking price decreased by $200 and we can get a reimbursement. That is WRONG. I went thru a travel agent who said that *** will not allow it because the final payment was already made. My final payment was due one month ago, why did the pricing now change after that? That sounds like a scam. Obviously the boat is NOT sold out if the pricing decreased. I asked the agent for a complimentary upgrade, and *** said no. I tried to reach out to *** on my own and they said it's the responsibility of the travel agent who said they reached out to *** and they said no.The pricing went down. I either want the refund or a complimentary upgrade. Give me the drink package complimentary.Please advise soonest.Business Response

July 6, 2025 To whom it may concern:I just got off the phone with two different agents from the Royal Caribbean reservations. The purpose of my call was to have my reservation cost lowered(Reservation #*******), as I have done in the past. I have included 2 of the reservations prices with a difference in the two.The first ********* I spoke to seemed to not understand what I was wanting to do. I explained it to him several times and the end result was him changing my reservation from an assigned suite (1548) to a suite guarantee. He was extremely rude during most of our conversation. He abruptly disconnected the call. I have spoken to several agents over the years and have never been treated so poorly. I called right back and spoke to ***. I asked her to speak to a supervisor and was told there were none available. I explained to her what had happened with the prior call. I provided her with the cabin number and she stated I was no longer assigned to that cabin and if I wanted that cabin it would cost more. I explained to her that the change was done without my permission. She then stated I would have to speak to someone from the resolutions team. I asked to be transferred but she stated they were closed since it was a Sunday afternoon.I dont know if that agent was having a bad day or thats just the way he treats people, but for whatever reason I should not have been treated in that manner. Hopefully the resolutions team will be able to correct what he did.Business Response

I am writing to formally express my disappointment regarding the way my recent booking mistake was handled. On June 29th, I accidentally booked the wrong cruise and immediately realized my error within minutes of submitting the $200 deposit. I promptly contacted Royal Caribbean to explain the situation, hoping for understanding and assistance in correcting this honest mistake. To my surprise, I was informed that I would be charged a $200 change fee ($100 per person) just to fix the booking. I was also told that if I chose to cancel instead, I would still lose the $200 deposit as a cancellation penalty.This was clearly a human error that I recognized and tried to fix right away. I understand that policies exist, but compassion and flexibility in situations like this should also matter; especially when the mistake was caught and reported immediately. I have every intention of cruising with Royal Caribbean, but this experience has made me feel that customer loyalty and basic understanding are not valued. I respectfully request that you reconsider this penalty and allow me to either switch the booking without an excessive fee or apply my deposit to the cruise I have on hold with you all for the same exact day of departure. I hope to continue sailing with Royal Caribbean, but fairness in situations like this is key. My reservation number is *******.

Thank you for forwarding a copy of the complaint filed with your agency. We appreciate this opportunity to respond.According to our records, the guest reserved a sailing on the Freedom of the Seas, on 6/24/25, reservation #*******. This was done online by the guest and was booked under the Non-Refundable Deposit Program. Therefore,there will be a $200.00 USD penalty if this reservation is canceled. We have attached the invoice, which is clearly stated on page 1 of the document.
In addition, according to our records, reservation # ******,for the Explorer of the Seas, is a canceled reservation. There was no payment on this reservation, therefore it was canceled on 7/5/24.

Complaint: 23551715
I am rejecting this response because: I submitted this information to the Travel Advisor after the initial response via BBB. She said she did not know I/we would be identified as Standby passengers. She indicates Air2sea or Iberia made the changes without her knowledge.Im not sure how this back and forth is productive.
I paid extra (premium economy) but didnt get the benefits of premium economy during the second leg of the journey nor was I given the opportunity to make other arrangements because Air2Sea failed to acknowledge the cancellation even when the Travel Advisor attempted to assist.
Air2Sea made travel arrangements as if I/we were in jeopardy of missing the cruise when the facts are I/we travelled days prior to sailing.
Air2Sea performed a bait and switch transaction. The originally purchased flight was cancelled MONTHS prior to departure but ******* insisted the flight was confirmed just as Air2Sea insisted our travel arrangements were confirmed. If our travel was confirmed we would not have been identified as Standby passengers.

I have been trying to change the cabin assigned or upgrade, however; they refuse to talk and discuss the options. I submitted several Royal Up upgrades, and while they're not guaranteed, I remain hopeful. With only 29 days to go, my loyalty as a cruiser (7 cruises) I feel an upgrade or change can be worked on.

Once the guest has submitted their request, please be advised that, in accordance with our policies, the processing time for inquiries related to the Royal Upgraded program generally takes approximately one week prior to the cruise. Depending on operational circumstances, communication may occur a few days earlier or closer to the departure date. Please note that there is no guarantee the Royal Upgraded request will be granted, as all requests are subject to review.
Once the guest has been granted the upgrade, Royal Caribbean will notify the guest directly via email with further details as the sailing date approaches.

My family and I went on a cruise with Royal Caribbean on February 16 - 23. On February 24th I received an invoice from the cruise line via email. On it was several unauthorized transactions. There were 28 charges of $18.50 for a "gratuity". Also 3 charges of $51.75 and one of $40.50 for "shore excursion". I am requesting a refund to my credit card in the total amount of $713.75. I have called Royal Caribbean regarding these unauthorized charges and they refused to discuss the charges. I have also tried refuting the charges with my credit card company, but they have denied my claim with little to no research or effort.Business Response

Thank you for forwarding a copy of the complaint filed with your agency. We appreciate the opportunity to review and respond to your concerns.
We are sorry that this situation remains a concern for Ms. ****** However, please be advised that our decision will not be amended.
We regret to hear that the guest was dissatisfied with certain aspects of her experience. Please note that while gratuities are at our guests discretion, our pre-paid gratuity program is offered as a convenience.
Unfortunately, gratuities are non-refundable once the sailing has concluded, as these amounts are allocated to our staff. If a guest chooses to opt out of gratuities, this should have been communicated to our guest services team while onboard. In this case, we were not informed that the guest wished to opt out.
Our intention is never to disappoint our guests. We make every effort to provide clear information, including details outlined in the booking invoice sent to the guest, which clearly states our cruise line policies regarding gratuities.

I am rejecting this response because: I provided my credit card to purchase the internet package only. I was not informed that it would be kept on file and used on unauthorized transactions. I was not informed that a gratuity of $80 per day was going to be charged. I didn't know to opt out during the sailing because I had no knowledge of the charges until hours AFTER the sailing had completed via an emailed invoice.Also I had prepaid for an excursion. During that excursion I was told we couldn't snorkel because of the weather conditions. I was told I would be given a refund for the snorkeling since it had been canceled. Per the invoice i received after the sailing, I was refunded but then charged again the next day. I am entitled to a refund of the excursion charges as well as all gratuity charges. Gratuity is at customer discretion and I DID NOT authorize any of those charges.

Case: 23546221
Thank you for forwarding a follow-up complaint filed with your agency.We appreciate this opportunity to respond.Once again, we sincerely apologize for any confusion and frustration caused to the guest by the gratuities. However, as part of our standard policies, gratuities are automatically added unless customers opt out during the sailing. The gratuity charges are communicated at the time of booking, on the billing statements, and it is also clearly stated in the Guest Ticket Booklet on page 7 (see attached). The Guest Ticket Booklet was sent to the guest and accessed by the guest on January 17, 2025. Therefore, we are unable to offer any refund for gratuities. This is our final decision.
In addition, the guest was refunded for the 4 Shore Excursions that were pre-purchased in the amount of $215.96 on the folio. The additional charges for Shore Excursions purchased on February ******* are not the same. Therefore, we are unable to offer any refunds regarding the Shore Excursions purchased on February 20, 2025. This is also our final decision.
