Because of the change in itinerary, we were told that our options were either to cancel, book a different cruise (at whatever price was the going rate) and receive $100 each in on board credit, or stick with the new itinerary and receive $500 in on board credit plus $500.00 each for a future cruise to Mexico on either the Mariner or the Radiance. We initially decided to stick with the original cruise (only because of the compensation being offered and the fact that we are already booked on the Radiance later this year and were told the $1000 could be used for that trip). We are from the west coast and the weather is always bad in June so were dfinately not thrilled about the new itinerary. We cruise a lot (Diamond Plus) primarily for the sunshine and beaches. I requested the offer in writing but was told they couldn't do that, but not to worry it would happen automatically once on board. A week later, I received a call from RCCL saying they made a mistake and the compensation would only be $350.00 per cabin. I cancelled. Our friends opted for a last minute trip as they were practically giving it away due to the number of cancellations. They met several people on board, that said they were offered similar compensation as we were, but once on board were told it was a "mistake", At least we got a call ahead of time and were able to cancel. I have since written a letter but yet to see a response.
