Ugh -- how does re-booking work again?

[labdogs42]

I booked B2B cruises for Feb 2016 and its looking like I might need to reschedule. How does that work again? How far out can I push the dates? I'm kicking myself, but I need to know my options!

Are these OBBs? If so, you have 24 months from when you were onboard and made the reservations to sail on a new cruise.

If you didn't use an OBB, there is no time limit for pushing out a cruise. You are only limited by what's available for booking now, but you can continue to push it out as far as you wish.

Enjoy your cruises!

Are you talking about an onboard booking for your B2B? If so, the future cruise you wind up taking must begin within 24 months of the original booking date (that is, the day you made the reservation, not the day of the original future cruise).

oh sweet. It isn't an OBB. So, as long as I'm goign to take two Disney cruises sometime in my lifetime, I don't have to lose the $$? Just Disney hangs on to it until I sail?

Be sure to move the reservation before the paid in full date. Otherwise, it could be considered a cancellation and rebooking and you forfeit the deposit.

As long as you aren't past the PIF date, you can cancel now and receive full refund. I believe the only exception would be if you are cruising concierge, in which case the deposit is non-refundable but you can push it out as often as you wish.

If you have past the PIF date (generally 75 days prior to sailing but some cruises are further out than that), you'll be in the penalty phase. Depending how close you are to sailing would determine how much you lose.

Enjoy your cruises when you finally get to go!

Well, we also have an Alaskan cruise booked for August, so I'll still have a cruise on the calendar, which is good! I'm just debating the timing of these February ones. I didn't realize I could get my deposit back. Hmmm. More to think about!
