During the covid pandemic, Royal Caribbean had very broad cancellation policies. That made sense because people had no idea whether their cruises would actually happen, and the cruise line needed to keep deposits rolling in.
You could cancel for any reason and get your money back up to 48 hours before your scheduled sailing. That deposit policy was much looser than Royal Caribbean (RCL) - Get Free Report had previously, when your entire fare was forfeited after the final payment date unless you booked a rate that specifically had different conditions (which would be rare).
