And for the love, WHEN will they change it to show us the refundable price BEFORE we have to enter name/address/signooverfirstbornchild?

Agreed. This is why I always just use an incognito window but it's a pain.

I just used the back button on my browser and I could look at a different dates (which is the way I've always done it since I never noticed a "change date" option, LOL - omg)

Fred. Olsen purchased Amsterdam and Rotterdam. https://www.cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/23248-fred-olsen-buys-amsterdam-and-rotterdam.html?fbclid=IwAR3nUMwPGuede-uV0oD1_aFG-_8O2E_2fIjJl6A8eUh39zqrt6BHnIi7VUo

I heard that stocks in general were up today due to good news from Moderna (vaccine testing). But I only know what I heard ... I actually know nothing, lol.

2nd quarter of next year? Ugh, so much for Empress ?

The one time I booked directly online I did not receive an invoice (which apparently is normal). I did have to call to get one and it was emailed immediately. Not sure why they do (or don't do) this.

It's not just Royal Caribbean who has been slow with refunds. I've seen complaints with most of the major cruise lines (and some of the not so major ones who won't even offer a refund option). I've received money back on cancellations made in June while I'm still waiting for money back on May cancellations - there's not a lot of logical order (at least that I can figure out). However, there are dozens of threads about slow refunds. I applaud this one about supporting our fantastic TAs. They really have been taking a hit. If I traveled at all anywhere I'd totally give her my business.

Great to read all of those things! When they release 2022 Ireland itineraries you'll be hearing from me (or if you hear of them before I do, let me know! lol)

I do hope that this doesn't come true. I've been wanting to visit Key West via cruise ship - I really don't want to drive all of the way down there one day! https://www.cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/23213-key-west-could-ban-big-cruise-ships.html?fbclid=IwAR1fwhOm4Osa3Lejta-w4sIPE1Ckp83Tk_Rq1xprRZvfc2gCiIkGkRZB5M4

I always try to buy mine within 14-15 days of putting my deposit down to ensure that I get "cancel for any reason" and coverage for pre-existing conditions activated.

I always buy through tripinsurance.com . They carry three different types of insurance and you choose which meet your needs and budget. The reason I go with them is because they are always extremely helpful any time I have a question about various policies. or my individual policy. I always speak with one of the same two people, which is nice for me - I don't feel lost in a huge corporation (which it probably isn't).

Robbery is typically considered a violent crime. Pick pocketing is theft. They are quite different.

Could you search by Coco Cay?

It's possible to avoid the news. Mr SpeedNoodles hasn't seen the news since March.

I've never seen an option to search that way.

Well, they did tell me an "average of 45 days", lol.

Hey, they're starting to trickle in - great news, lol!

And then it turns out the problem all along was mostly that their own countries kept turning them away.

I reread my communication with Royal - they said "an average of 45 days". Which leaves them a whole lot of wiggle room.

I'm still waiting for my May 9th refund as well.

It's ridiculous that they won't let you cancel everyone's. First, I'd call and talk to someone else - escalate it to a supervisor. If that doesn't work, as much as you shouldn't have to and it would be a pain the the butt to do, you could call and say you're the other person (people). It's not as though they aren't going to know your voice, and the voice of Uncle Jim, etc. But I'd definitely talk to someone else first. It's not unusual to get different answers from different employees there.
