I am going to buy a bunch of these onboard bookings next week, some for cruises already booked but out of the penalty range, and an extra for something that just might suit my fancy before I could get another on MINT (like RSSC opening up booking for just one segment of the WC/BAIL that I really want!) I know they have discretion in this regard (allowing one to get it for a cruise already booked), but I don't think Radisson is out to tick-off loyal customers. There is simply too much goodwill spread by regular posters/cruisers on this board for the policy to be otherwise. Under the old rules, they didn't require me to even put in the deposit. Now that things have changed, I fully expect to have to put the money forward.
