  • The Notice of Dispute must be personally signed by the guest and sent by U.S. mail or courier.
  • Refunds for bookings paid by a travel advisor go back to the advisor, and chartered sailings must be handled through the reseller.
  • Some royalcaribbean.com pages (for example the accessible cruising page) returned HTTP 403 to automated fetches.
