Royal Caribbean Oversells Wonder of the Seas Again
Chalk another one up to an unexpected inventory error for a cruise that leaves…. Sunday.
Royal Caribbean oversold the 7-night eastern Caribbean sailing on the world’s largest cruise ship, Wonder of the Seas, for the third time since December, due to an unexpected inventory error.
Guests have been given three options: reschedule to a different sailing and receive a full refund, cancel and receive a full refund and future cruise credit, or remain booked on the April 30th sailing if they are unable or not willing to reschedule.
Royal Caribbean has also offered two alternative sailings onboard Wonder for those willing to reschedule for the same itinerary in either July or August.
If you’re keeping track, this is the fourth time Wonder has been oversold in the past 5+ months.
