To be clear, there's been no hint or talk by anyone in RC of a vaccine being needed, so it's purely speculation right now if it would become a policy later.

Cruise refunds from cancelled cruises recently seem to be coming back very quickly.

You can cancel up to 48 hours before your cruise with no penalty under the Cruise with Confidence program, but that gets you a 100% future cruise credit. To get a refund you still have to cancel before final payment date (or if Royal Caribbean cancels the cruise instead of you).

I think applying FCC you have is a good idea. There's less risk in the sense you are paying less cash up front for a cruise you aren't sure is actually sailing. My thought has been to apply as much FCC first, then cash.

Bingo. You nailed it

Stock market doesnt pay that close attention to day to day stuff. Certainly the cancellations rarely have a direct effect on the price.

Richard Fain is also very bullish on the vaccine news

Not necessarily. At one point Royal Caribbean said December test sailings were possible, but it sounded like that was not certain. From RC SVP Vicki Freed, "We hope to have the trial cruises in December, but more to come."

Mongolian Grill has always been full service. Clearly your husband has been ahead of the curve in his approach to the Windjammer!

Still being charged

It wont happen. US is too big of a market to try to circumvent. They have no choice from a business perspective but to work with it.

Yes, it does appear that's the case

I could be wrong, but I dont think Quantum ever got Star Class because she was in China

Bingo. Hypothetical on top of a hypothetical. If/when Royal Caribbean announces such a rule, we'd get an answer to that question.

Amen. Here's hoping flawless start to cruises on Quantum

I did!

I like the big lettering. Something new and different. Change aint bad!
