Caribbean Food Quotes

How fragile is a world so connected and tied together that a change in food fashion in one place can lead to starvation halfway through the world?

Food is also the stuff of international politics, and the power of one country to control the daily bread of another has always been politically important.

There is no culture where everyone cooks in the same way.

People want to think of a food tradition as something that would continue unchanging and timeless, unless some outside force knocked things askew.

Home cooking is always concerned with quality, because people you care about will eat the meal.

Foodways like any other aspect of culture, are never static. Even without the influence of other cultures, we would be eating and cooking differently from the generations that came before us.

The inevitable result of any search for authenticity is that you always end up with something completely modern in intent, since the purpose of the performance lies in the present, not the past.

How old does a recipe have to be in order to be traditional? What should we think when an old industrial food like salted (corned) beef or pickled herring becomes a part of “traditional” ethnic cuisine?

The word cod is of unknown origin. For something that began as food for good Catholics on the days they were to abstain from sex, it is not clear why, in several languages, the words for salt cod have come to have sexual connotations. In the English-speaking West Indies, saltfish is the common name for salt cod. In slang, saltfish means "a woman's genitals", and while Caribbeans do love their salt cod, it is this other meaning that is responsible for the frequent appearance of the word saltfish in Caribbean songs such as the Mighty Sparrow's "Saltfish".

Only from our position of power can we afford to ignore where things really come from, because we know that all things drain, like syrup through a pipeline, from the edges of the world into the centre. What we want will appear, as if by magic, on the shelves of our supermarkets because were have the money to pay for it. We don’t have to know - other people grow it and process it, and buy it and sell it until all we see is the brand, a language we understand without effort. All those strange substances are fuzed together for our convenience, our health, our pleasure.

Accras (Saltfish Fritters) Accras (or acrats) de morue are saltfish fritters—the French island version of Dingis’s saltfish cakes. (Morue is French for cod.) Serve them as an appetizer or a snack. 1⁄2 pound salt cod or other saltfish, preferably boneless 1 lime 1 small onion, grated 1 clove garlic, grated 1⁄4–1⁄2 hot pepper, seeded and finely minced 1 seasoning pepper or 1⁄2 green bell pepper, finely chopped 1 stalk celery, finely chopped 2 green onions, finely chopped 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme Freshly ground black pepper 1 cup flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1⁄2 cup water (approx.) Vegetable oil for deep frying 1. The night before you want to serve the fritters, put the fish in cold water to soak. Change water 4 or 5 times, squeezing half the lime into the water during each of the last two soakings. 2. Rinse fish, drain, and remove skin and bones if necessary. In a large bowl, finely shred the fish. (See Tips, below.) Add the onion, garlic, peppers, celery, green onions, thyme, and black pepper, and mix well. 3. Combine flour and baking powder and add to fish mixture. Stir thoroughly. Slowly add enough water to make a thick paste. 4. Heat oil to 350°F in a deep fryer or pot. Drop fish mixture by tablespoons into hot oil and fry until golden on both sides. 5. Drain on paper towels and serve hot with hot pepper sauce. Serves 4 Tips • Some saltfish may not shred easily. If that’s the case, chop it finely in a food processor or by hand with a knife. Alternatively, put it in boiling water, turn off the heat, and allow it to cool in the liquid. It should then flake easily. Whichever method you use, be sure to “chip it up fine,” as Dingis says. • Before proceeding with step 2, try a little piece of the soaked fish. If it is still too salty for your taste, soak it again in fresh water.

God damn you!” Alfred said. “You belong in jail!” The turd wheezed with laughter as it slid very slowly down the wall, its viscous pseudopods threatening to drip on the sheets below. “Seems to me,” it said, “you anal retentive type personalities want everything in jail. Like, little kids, bad news, man, they pull your tchotchkes off your shelves, they drop food on the carpet, they cry in theaters, they miss the pot. Put ’em in the slammer! And Polynesians, man, they track sand in the house, get fish juice on the furniture, and all those pubescent chickies with their honkers exposed? Jail ’em! And how about ten to twenty, while we’re at it, for every horny little teenager, I mean talk about insolence, talk about no restraint. And Negroes (sore topic, Fred?), I’m hearing rambunctious shouting and interesting grammar, I’m smelling liquor of the malt variety and sweat that’s very rich and scalpy, and all that dancing and whoopee-making and singers that coo like body parts wetted with saliva and special jellies: what’s a jail for if not to toss a Negro in it?

Hey, funny thing, Fred, the only people that don’t belong in your jail are upper-middle-class northern European men. And you’re on my case for wanting

Gloria’s Pork Ribs and Red Beans YIELD: 4 SERVINGS BEFORE I MARRIED Gloria, I knew nothing about Caribbean cooking—Puerto Rican or Cuban. She introduced me to many dishes that through the years we have transformed into our own family recipes. When Roland, my brother, came to visit, one of the first dishes that Gloria would prepare for him was pork shoulder ribs with red beans, which she usually serves with rice and onion pilaf. This dish is great when made ahead, and any leftovers can be served with fried eggs for breakfast, a type of huevos rancheros. With the bones removed, it can be puréed into a sturdy, flavorful soup in a food processor. Although dried beans are typically presoaked in water before cooking, this is not necessary if the beans are started in cool water. 2 tablespoons good olive oil 4 shoulder pork chops with the bones or country ribs (about 1½ pounds) 1 pound dried red kidney beans 2 cups fresh diced tomato flesh or 1 can (14¾ ounces) whole Italian tomatoes, with juice 3 cups sliced onions 1½ tablespoons chopped garlic 1 jalapeño pepper (or more or less, depending on your tolerance for “hotness”), finely chopped, with or without the seeds (about 1 tablespoon) 2 bay leaves 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence (available in many supermarkets) or Italian seasoning 6 cups cold water 1½ teaspoons salt 1 small bunch cilantro Cooked rice, for serving (optional) Tabasco hot pepper sauce (optional) Heat the oil in a large saucepan (I like enameled cast iron), add the pork chops or ribs, and sauté gently, turning once, for 15 to 20 minutes or until they are browned on both sides. Meanwhile, sort through the beans and discard any broken or damaged ones and any foreign matter. Rinse the beans in a sieve under cold water. When the chops or ribs are browned, remove them from the heat, and add the tomatoes and their juice, onions, garlic, jala-peño, bay leaves, herbs, and water. Stir in the beans and salt, and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, pull the leaves from the cilantro stems. Chop the stems finely (you should have about ¼ cup), and add them to the beans. Reserve the leaves (you should have about 1 cup loosely packed) for use as a garnish. When the bean mixture is boiling, reduce the heat to low, and boil very gently, covered, for 2 to 2½ hours, or until the beans and pork are very tender. Divide among soup bowls, sprinkle the cilantro leaves on top, and serve with rice, if desired. Pass the Tabasco sauce for those who want added hotness.

In the consumption of tea as a source of calories, exploited urban workers in London mirrored nothing so much as the slaves at the other end of the food system in the Caribbean, who chewed sugar cane for energy enough to get through the working day.

In order for the companies to supply tea and sugar, imperial power was necessary, in India and China principally for tea, and in the Caribbean for sugar. Britain had dominion over both regions. Religion also played a part, with the Temperance movement and the Protestant work ethic driving beer and gin out of the workplace.19 And, for the working poor, tea held an important advantage over a cold glass of beer: ‘Two ounces of tea a week … made many a cold supper seem like a hot meal.

Convergence is ubiquitous and not limited just to the external appearance or morphology of animals. It is also widely observed and documented in animal behavior and in plants, fungi, and even bacteria. Let’s start with behavior. What do you think these four species—a cobra, a stickleback fish, an octopus, and a spider—share? There is no convergence in body form here, unlike the Caribbean anoles. But a behavior has converged among them that has led to the success of each of their species: the females of the species guard their eggs. One of the best examples of convergent behavior is observed in humans and—hold your breath—ants! And I have witnessed this convergence with my own eyes. When I was on a family vacation in the stunningly beautiful Peruvian Amazon, I stumbled upon the tiny creatures that had beaten our human ancestors to the discovery of agriculture by many millions of years: the leafcutter ants. I had waited years to witness the miracle, and there it was in its full linear glory. A long single column of thousands of large green leaves appeared to be miraculously moving in perfect synchrony of their own volition on the forest floor. Each large leaf was being carried by a single tiny ant, who purposefully disappeared underground to pass on the booty to her specialist sisters. These ants chew the leaves to grow a fungus garden used for food for the entire colony. Not unlike human farmers, these ants produce fertilizers (amino acids and enzymes) to aid the fungal growth, remove contaminants that can hinder the agricultural output, are highly selective in what they grow, and continuously tend to their enormous gardens.8

He was reasonably kind to the slaves, but he did subscribe to the theory that it was most profitable to treat them like animals—one pair of pants, one shirt, boughs on the ground for a bed, the cheapest food—and work them to death, replacing them with new bodies bought at a bargain from his family’s ships. While they lived he did not abuse them, and whenever he found one of his overseers doing so, he discharged him: “Treat your slaves decently and they not only live longer, but they also work better while they do live.” An Espivent slave who started healthy survived about nine years, and since he paid for his cost in five years, he represented a profitable investment.

People always ask me what is my favourite thing about Trinidad. It is a hard question because ! love the beaches and the music of Trinidad, but... I think the food is the best of all!

The lionfish comes from the tropical waters around Indonesia. Though beautiful to look at, it is a voracious predator of other fish, and is able to eat as many as 30 in half an hour. Furthermore, one female lionfish can produce over two million eggs per year, which was a particular problem in the Caribbean, where it has no natural predators. The decimation of local species threatened the environment and the economics of Colombia, much of which depends on fishing. It was also destroying the ecology of coral reefs. This was when some colleagues of mine borrowed an idea from Frederick the Great; Ogilvy & Mather in Bogotá decided that the solution was to create a predator for the lionfish – humans. The simplest and most cost-effective way to rid Colombia’s waters of lionfish was to encourage people to eat them, which would encourage anglers to catch them. The agency recruited the top chefs in Colombia and encouraged them to create lionfish recipes for the best restaurants. As they explained, a lionfish is poisonous on the outside but delicious on the inside, so they created an advertising campaign titled ‘Terribly Delicious’. Working with the Colombian Ministry of the Environment, they generated a cultural shift by turning the invader into an everyday food. Lionfish soon appeared in supermarkets. Some 84 per cent of Colombians are Roman Catholic, so they asked the Catholic Church to recommend lionfish to their congregations on Fridays and during Lent. That additional element – recruiting the Catholic Church – was the true piece of alchemy. Today, indigenous fish species are recovering and the lionfish population is in decline.

By the first week of August—within a week or so of the wreck—Sir George “squared out a garden” where he planted muskmelons, peas, onions, radish, lettuce, and other herbs and good English plants.21 In ten days the seeds, carried as cargo on the Sea Venture, had sprouted and pushed their way above ground. The island’s birds made quick work of the sprouts, though, and none of the plants matured. Somers had no better luck with several sugarcane sprouts he planted in the garden area near the little gathering of thatched huts; they were almost immediately rooted up and eaten by the island’s wild hogs. Despite these early disappointments, Somers and the other survivors thought that the Bermudas would prove to be a likely place for English settlers to grow the lemons, oranges, sugarcane, and even grape vines that thrived in some of the Spanish islands of the Caribbean. In fact, as fertile as the Bermudas appeared to the survivors, the island chain’s soil and subtropical climate were ill suited to producing most crops. Still, the survivors found plenty of food and lush surroundings and mostly pleasant weather and ready shelter.

I know that many people including our President insist that it be called the Christmas Season. I’ll be the first in line to say that it works for me however that’s not what it is. We hint at its coming on Halloween when the little tykes take over wandering the neighborhood begging for candy and coins. In this day and age the idea of children wandering the streets threatening people with “Trick or Treat!” just isn’t a good idea. In most cases parents go with them encouraging their offspring’s to politely ask “Anything for Halloween.” An added layer of security occurs when the children are herded into one room to party with friends. It’s all good, safe fun and usually there is enough candy for all of their teeth to rot before they have a chance to grow new ones. Forgotten is the concept that it is a three day observance of those that have passed before us and are considered saints or martyrs. Next we celebrate Thanksgiving, a national holiday (holly day) formally observed in Canada, Liberia, Germany Japan, some countries in the Caribbean and the United States. Most of these countries observe days other than the fourth Thursday of November and think of it as a secular way of celebrating the harvest and abundance of food. Without a hiccup we slide into Black Friday raiding stores for the loot being sold at discounted prices. The same holds true for Cyber Monday when we burn up the internet looking for bargains that will arrive at our doorsteps, brought by the jolly delivery men and women, of FedEx, UPS and USPS. Of course the big days are Chanukah when the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire, regained control of Jerusalem. It is a time to gather the family and talk of history and tell stories. Christmas Eve is a time when my family goes to church, mostly to sing carols and distribute gifts, although this usually continued on Christmas day. This is when the term “Merry Christmas” is justified and correct although it is thought that the actual birthday of Christ is in October. The English squeezed another day out of the season, called Boxing Day, which is when the servants got some scraps from the dinner the day before and received a small gift or a dash of money. I do agree that “Xmas” is inappropriate but that’s just me and I don’t go crazy over it. After all, Christmas is for everyone. On the evening of the last day of the year we celebrate New Year’s Evening followed by New Year’s Day which many people sleep through after New Year’s Eve. The last and final day of the Holiday Season is January 6th which Is Epiphany or Three Kings Day. In Tarpon Springs, the Greek Orthodox Priest starts the celebration with the sanctification of the waters followed by the immersion of the cross. It becomes a scramble when local teenage boys dive for the cross thrown into the Spring Bayou as a remembrance of the baptism of Jesus Christ in the Jordan River. This tradition is now over a century old and was first celebrated by the Episcopal Church by early settlers in 1903.

also allows abortion on demand. Australia’s Muslim population is growing rapidly. New Zealand’s high court in 2009 struck down abortion laws. Islands of the world aren’t ideal as potential places to move, due to the potential of being ‘trapped’ on an island, with no escape, if things go bad politically or in any other way. Riots over food prices and against “elites” broke out on two Caribbean islands in February, 2009, with tens of thousands in the streets.

The Pirate Code by Stewart Stafford Highwaymen of the high seas, Outlaws of the oceans deep, Plundering the crown's gold, They may hang us as we sleep.

Our first day’s run out of Pampatar was our best day’s run to date on the whole voyage from San Diego—171 miles. That’s over the twenty-four hours noon to noon. The second day’s run beat it—174 miles. On the evening of the third day out we were at anchor in Frederiksted, on the island of St. Croix. That’s 420 miles in sixty hours. That’s the crossing of the Caribbean Sea, from south to north, in two and a half days. That’s flying. Total fuel consumption—one pint of diesel oil to charge batteries. Breakages, nil; and that was a fully loaded trimaran—loaded to traditional, oceangoing monohull standards and more. There were, don’t forget, three months’ supplies of canned food for three men on board, plus the remaining dried and packaged food, say six weeks’ supply, plus eighty-two gallons of cheap diesel fuel and eighty-two gallons of fresh water, plus all our personal effects, the three of us, together with the ship’s equipment. That was a total payload of around four tons. I suggest that this is the most important statistic, besides the speed of the passage, in this account. I suggest that, together with the safety factors built into Outward Leg—the self-righting system, and the cool-tubes to prevent capsize—we realized at St. Croix that what we had under our feet was one of the fastest, and one of the safest, cruising vessels afloat under sail. Hitherto multihulls had been considered as either hair-shirt racing craft, for speed-drunk masochists with tiny appetites, or boxy floating sheds for short cruises and always downwind, because they were thought—and quite rightly in most instances—to have the windward ability of Carnegie Hall.

The crowd trails us through the park as we play games at the Penny Arcade and ride Pirates of the Caribbean. Eriku insists on sampling all the foods available. In between Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain, we eat Ukiwaman, shrimp in a doughy bun in adorable Donald Duck packaging. We have curry rice and then a milk tea drink with berries on the bottom and whipped cream and nuts at the top for lunch.

Shipbuilding, too, once flourished along the Connecticut. (Deeperdraft vessels had to be ox-hauled over the Saybrook bar.) During the age of sail, the state’s then-abundant forests attracted shipwrights up and down the river. Most of what they constructed were the small, fast coastal vessels that plied the West Indian trade, taking food, barrel staves, and horses to be exchanged in the Caribbean for sugar, molasses, and slaves.

I stepped away from the vehicle, taking a long look at it. Emblazoned on the back was the logo for my business, OuNYe, Afro-Caribbean Food in huge bold black font on a red background. The black and red contrasted with the flags of the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Haiti and Jamaica painted over the entire truck. To name my business, I used a word from the Yoruba language. Which had been spoken all over the Caribbean by our ancestors, the West Africans who were brought there as slaves. Ounje is the Yoruba word for nourishment, and I’d decided to play a bit with things and put the NY right at the center.

I find it fascinating that this bottle is so cosmopolitan, a true multicultural brew, but it is so quiet about it.

Food is packed with meaning, as well as vitamins, carbohydrates and protein. It satisfies needs beyond those of the body and the pocketbook. Food is a medium to build families, religious communities, ethnic boundaries and a consciousness of history.

Or could it be that there is something about globalisation itself that produces local culture, and promotes the constant formation of new forms of local identity, dress, cuisine, music, dance and language?

Globalisation creates a world where causes are remote form effects, and the connections between them are often hidden or obscure.

As geographic place lost its power to guarantee quality, modern corporate brands began to appear, at first linked to the personal names of the manufacturers, who thereby offered their reputation, their face as it were, to establish a bond of trust with consumers.

The idea that foods and diets will “just mix” when they come into contact is clearly a vast oversimplification.

But instead of being frozen in time, I want to show that “local” and “authentic” food are as much creations of modernity as survivors from before it. Authenticity is therefore a problem, not something we can ever depend on as some kind of naturally occurring category. Tradition is crafted, just as much as modernity is manufactured.

The world becomes a pageant of diversity with its differences neatly organised and selected.

n the tropical climates of the Caribbean and the temperate climes of South America, where Christmas falls smack in the middle of summer, there is no Santa arriving on a sleigh, no jingle bells in the snow, no stockings hung on the mantel with care. it's a holiday for family, for grown-ups as well as children, celebrated with plenty of traditional food, drink, music, and dance. Nochebuena, Christmas Eve, is the night for la misa del gullo, “the rooster's mass," which begins at midnight.

Yes, you have survived, but it is bittersweet; some of the best minds of your generation have been wasted, the children that grew up with the safety blankets of money and whiteness have gotten twice as far working half as hard, they are still having the same cocaine parties that they were having twenty years ago and they still have not ever been searched by the police once, let alone had their parties raided or been choke-slammed to death. They have just bought a flat in Brixton; they go to one of the new white bars there. They pop up to the new reggae club in Ladbroke Grove, the one that serves Caribbean food but also gets nervous when more than two black guys turn up. They have no idea that the building used to be a multi-storey crack house. By twenty-five, even if you don’t read Stuart Hall, if you grew up both black and poor in the UK you will have come to know more about the inner workings of British society, about the dynamics of race, class and empire than a slew of PhDs ever will. In fact, PhDs and scriptwriters will come to the hood to drain your wisdom for their ethnographic research, as will journalists next time there is a riot. They will have careers, you will get a job. Wash, rinse, repeat.

The web of enslaved labor was vastly interdependent, and each ingredient stemmed from another person's forced labor. Wheat was grown, harvested, and milled by enslaved farmers to provide flour to the cook to use in the kitchen. Brandy was made from fruit gown and harvested by slaves then fermented by the enslaved cook. Rum came from the Caribbean, starting as sugarcane planted, grown, cut, and distilled by enslaved hands. Feasting in Virginia meant consuming the labor of slaves, literally eating the fruits of their labor. To dine at an elite plantation during the antebellum and late colonial periods meant that one was, without question, intimately involved with slavery.

Does Royal Caribbean charge for children? Royal Caribbean may charge children based on age and cabin selection; call at 1-866-291-7625 customer service for exact pricing details. Royal Caribbean is one of the most family friendly cruise lines in the world. Parents planning a cruise with their little ones often ask a very important question does Royal Caribbean charge for children. At first glance, many people assume that kids might travel free or at a steep discount, but the reality is more detailed. The cost of bringing children on board depends on their age, the stateroom you book, promotions available at the time, and the sailing itinerary. In this complete guide we will break down how Royal Caribbean charges for children, how families can save money, and what parents should know before booking. Why Families Ask About Child Fares Cruises are attractive vacations for families because they combine travel, entertainment, and dining into one package. For families with one or more children, cost is a big factor. On airlines, infants under two often fly free if they sit on a parents lap. Hotels sometimes allow kids under a certain age to stay free when sharing a room with parents. Families naturally wonder if cruises follow a similar system. The answer is that cruise pricing is more structured and every guest regardless of age is counted as part of the ship capacity. Do Children Sail for Free In most cases Royal Caribbean does not allow children to sail completely free. Every guest is charged a fare that covers accommodations, meals in the main dining areas, onboard entertainment, and access to pools and many activities. However there are promotions at times when kids sail free, and these special offers can provide big savings. The key is understanding that free promotions usually have restrictions such as age limits, blackout dates, or requirements that at least two paying adults are booked in the same stateroom. Infant and Toddler Fares Royal Caribbean has clear policies for infants and toddlers. Minimum age to sail six months for most itineraries and twelve months for longer or transoceanic cruises. Infant fares Infants are not free. Even babies are counted as passengers and are charged a cruise fare, though sometimes at a reduced rate. Why they charge for infants Each guest uses resources such as food, safety equipment, and space, and every person counts toward the maximum capacity of the ship. Parents should plan for the fact that even the youngest travelers add to the overall cost. Child Fares for Ages 2 to 11 Children older than infants but not yet teenagers usually pay a fare similar to adults once the minimum stateroom occupancy is met. First two guests in a cabin always pay full fare regardless of age. Third or fourth guests in the same cabin which are often children may pay a reduced fare. Discount levels vary by sailing. Sometimes it is a small discount, other times the fare can be heavily reduced under promotions. This system encourages families to book together in one cabin. Teen Fares Ages 12 to 17 Teenagers are generally treated the same as adults when it comes to pricing. After the first two paying guests, teens may qualify for reduced third or fourth passenger rates. Teens over the age of 12 are rarely given separate discounts unless a kids sail free promotion is active. Young Adult Fares Ages 18 to 20 Once children reach 18 they are fully counted as adults for all fares and promotions. They are subject to the same rules as other adult guests for pricing, drinking age restrictions, and cabin booking policies.

How long does it take to get a refund from Royal Caribbean? Refunds from Royal Caribbean may take weeks to process; call customer service at 1-866-291-7625 for updates, timelines, and assistance. When you book a cruise with Royal Caribbean, you expect to enjoy an exciting vacation filled with entertainment, great food, and beautiful destinations. But sometimes plans change, cancellations happen, and passengers need to request a refund. One of the most common questions people ask after canceling a booking is simple. How long does it take to get a refund from Royal Caribbean The answer is not the same for everyone. Refund processing time depends on factors such as how you paid, the type of booking, and whether you are receiving money back to your original payment method or as a future cruise credit. In this guide, we will take a deep look at refund timelines, what affects them, and how you can make sure the process goes as smoothly as possible. Why Refund Requests Happen There are many situations when passengers may need to cancel or change a cruise booking. Some of the most common reasons include Illness or injury before sailing Family emergencies that prevent travel Unexpected work commitments or schedule conflicts Global events or travel restrictions Cruise line cancellations due to weather or technical issues Changing personal circumstances like financial difficulties No matter the reason, understanding how long it takes to get your money back is very important for planning ahead. General Refund Timelines Royal Caribbean usually processes refunds within a set timeframe, but the exact duration can vary. On average, passengers should expect Credit card refunds. 7 to 14 business days after cancellation is confirmed Debit card refunds. 10 to 30 business days depending on the bank Bank transfers. Up to 30 business days in some cases Future Cruise Credit. Typically 2 to 4 weeks to appear in your Royal Caribbean account These timelines are not guaranteed. Sometimes refunds are processed faster, while other times delays can stretch the process to several weeks. Refund Timelines by Scenario 1. Passenger Cancels a Cruise If you cancel your booking yourself, refund time depends on when you cancel relative to the sailing date. Canceling well in advance usually means quicker refunds. If you cancel close to the sailing date, penalties may apply, which complicates the calculation of the final refund and can delay the process. 2. Royal Caribbean Cancels the Cruise When Royal Caribbean cancels a sailing due to storms, mechanical issues, or global events, passengers are often given the choice of a full refund or a future cruise credit. In such cases, cash refunds may take two to four weeks, while future cruise credits are usually available sooner. 3. Refundable vs Nonrefundable Deposits Refundable deposits are returned more quickly because the system is designed for easier reversals. Nonrefundable deposits often convert to future cruise credit, which may take longer to process and apply. 4. Refunds for Add Ons Refunds for extras such as drink packages, excursions, or internet plans are usually processed faster. Since these items are prepaid services that have not been used, the system often clears them for refund within one to two weeks. 5. Partial Cancellations If one passenger cancels in a multi passenger cabin, calculating the correct amount owed can take longer. These refunds may take three to four weeks depending on the complexity.

What is Royal Caribbean’s cancellation policy? Royal Caribbean’s cancellation policy for assistance call 1-866-291-7625 allows refunds or credits depending on booking type and timing. When planning a vacation, booking a cruise can be one of the most exciting choices. Royal Caribbean is among the most well known cruise lines in the world, offering destinations across the Caribbean, Alaska, Europe, Asia, and more. While most people look forward to their voyage for months, unexpected situations sometimes require changes. Illness, work obligations, financial challenges, or global events can all impact travel plans. That is where understanding Royal Caribbean’s cancellation policy becomes very important. Royal Caribbean, like all major cruise lines, has a structured cancellation policy that determines whether guests receive a full refund, partial refund, or no refund at all depending on when they cancel. The rules may appear complicated at first, but with careful explanation you can clearly understand how the process works. This guide will provide an in depth look at the cancellation rules, timelines, and options available to travelers who may need to adjust their plans. Why a Cancellation Policy Exists Cruise vacations involve far more planning than a standard hotel stay. Each ship carries thousands of passengers, requires large amounts of food and supplies, and schedules complex staffing and entertainment. If too many passengers cancel at the last moment, it becomes very difficult for the cruise line to fill those cabins. To protect itself from such losses, Royal Caribbean uses a cancellation system based on timelines. The closer a guest is to their sail date, the more money they may lose if they cancel. At the same time, guests who cancel far in advance usually receive a full refund. The system tries to balance flexibility for passengers with financial security for the cruise company. General Structure of Royal Caribbean’s Cancellation Policy The cancellation rules are organized into time windows. Each window determines how much of the fare is refunded and how much is kept as a penalty. The key factor is how many days before sailing the cancellation takes place. Here is the general breakdown used for most Royal Caribbean sailings 90 days or more before sailing Guests typically receive a full refund of the cruise fare. In some cases, deposits may be nonrefundable depending on the booking type. 89 to 75 days before sailing Guests may lose their deposit amount. 74 to 61 days before sailing Cancellation may result in a penalty of 25 percent of the total fare. 60 to 31 days before sailing Guests may lose 50 percent of the total fare. 30 to 15 days before sailing The penalty increases to 75 percent of the fare. 14 days or fewer before sailing In most cases, guests lose 100 percent of the fare. This structure rewards early cancellations while discouraging last minute changes. Refundable vs Nonrefundable Deposits Royal Caribbean offers different fare types. Some fares include refundable deposits, while others are offered at a lower price with nonrefundable deposits. Refundable deposits can be returned if the guest cancels before the deadline. These fares cost a little more but provide peace of mind. Nonrefundable deposits are cheaper but cannot be returned under normal circumstances. If the guest cancels, they lose the deposit, though in some cases the deposit can be converted into future cruise credit. When booking a cruise, passengers should carefully decide whether the lower price of a nonrefundable deposit is worth the reduced flexibility. Cancellations by the Cruise Line Sometimes the cruise line itself cancels a sailing. This can happen due to weather, mechanical problems, or other operational reasons. In such cases, Royal Caribbean usually offers
