Re: Royal HOliday is a scam (by Mark F.):

My husband and I were successful in canceling our contract with RH. I shared our story on pages 14 and 15. I’m not sure if Donp196 is a good source to go to as he automatically assumed I was lying and my own post was a scam. Crazy. But We are from California where we got scammed in Dominican Republic in 2014 on our honeymoon.

We came back to California and I researched RH. If we didn’t get out of our contract, in annual fees alone, we would have ended up paying $30,000 over the course of 15 years. I tried for a year to do it on my own but RH always told me “there is no way to cancel blah blah blah”. So I ended up hiring a local lawyer in my area. The RH contract is so sloppy that my lawyer was able to get me out of it in 2 months and I only paid $750. I thought it would be more expensive, but it was actually pretty easy.

Our lawyer initially asked that I review the RH contract in detail and highlight anything vague, and also things they did not deliver on. For us, they stayed they were going to give us a annual booklet of hotels etc to choose from and they never provided it to us. Basically that was one way they “broke the contract”. What REALLY helped us get out of the contract was the fact that we never utilized the services with RH - never actually took a trip using them, Nothing at all. All those smaller things added up to like 4 pages of ways we were able to get out of our contract.

We’re prolly not in your area, but that’s how we got out of ours. Hope that helps!
