Some more info just to confirm questions/answers that have been posted in comments:

1) Deposits are 100% refundable up until the day the final payment is due. Marie confirmed that she is not charging the $45 cancellation fee before that time.

2) After the final payment date - August 20 - refunds will be dependent on timing. Specific details are available on Royal Caribbean's website and i'll post them here shortly.

3) Insurance is highly recommended for this trip. You don't have to buy it through iCruise (although you can) and searching for competitive quotes is recommended. Several people have suggested Travelguard. If you get sick even after the final payment date, you'll get your money back if you're insured.

4) Prices as listed currently do not include the fuel surcharge. The fuel surcharge is an additional $50.
