Please - no need to apologize.
This mess is affecting you guys a LOT more than us.   
Thank you for everything you've done for so many cruisers over these years.  I just hate that 
y'all are having to change your entire livelihood due to this damn virus.  

Then call (or message on Facebook) Royal Caribbean directly.

Yeah, I'd make a call to my travel agent about that.

Is it a large balance, or might it be the difference in port fees?

I'm sadder to read this than I am about canceled cruises ?

It's never easy to say goodbye to a friend, let alone three amazingly talented friends.
I know I speak for everyone here when I say we will miss your guidance, hard work, and positivity. 
For years I've advocated using "a good travel agent", and if there were a dictionary definition of that, it would have either of your three photos as examples. 
I wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavors and hope you remain part of our community here, and hopefully we will get to cruise again together soon.

Thank you for letting me and MEI-Travel help you out! 

I agree wholeheartedly!! My wife and I did a group excursion (5 families) to Universal Studios Florida a few years ago.  A friend of our group is a TA, so we reluctantly went with her - I'd only ever used AAA as a TA prior and always just booked my own after that.  When my wife and I asked for a rate for the Hard Rock, her response was, "That's just a restaurant."  When I sent her the link the Hard Rock Hotel at Universal, she realized her mistake, but that soured our view on TAs further.  
Fast forward to a blow out cruise we did for our kid's 21st birthday... 2 bedroom aquatheater with my sister-in-law and her kids joining us.  I decided to use a TA for convenience, since we had family from different areas.  On recommendations from @WAAAYTOOO and some others, we selected @michelle with MEI.  I have done a complete 180 on my view of TAs.  The attention and service cannot be be beat.  She has now saved us more money than I ever could have imagined - probably enough to have paid for another crusie.  Honestly, I'd never looked for fare reductions prior (did 5 cruises on a competitor's line and probably always paid full price, d'oh).  I can't imagine having traversed this Covid-19 fiasco without her help.  When I used AAA for one of my first cruises (back in the day when they actually had large cruise magazines for each ship), the best they could do is look through the details with me... couldn't tell me anything about the rooms, the amenities, etc.  A good travel agent makes all the difference.

I got my cruise fare yesterday, too.  No taxes, refund, gratuities or cruise planner purchases.  I also had 2 rather sizable FCC’s on there from the Anthem cruise that got shortened and redirected in Feb.  No word on those.

This pandemic has made for a lot of changes in the cruising world from cancellations, lift and shifts, FCCs and everyone’s least favorite topic … REFUNDS!  It definitely has made a lot of people take a new look at life and that is exactly what a few agents at MEI-Travel have done.  Danette LeBlanc after 7 years with Mei-Travel is stepping away to spend time with her family.   Her father has terminal cancel and she wants to spend all the time she can with him and the family at this time.  Prayers to her and her family as they navigate this incredibly hard time.  Also, Stephanie Hudson after 15 years has decided to take some time to step away and enjoy her new home on the coast of NC.  While this is not her retirement home, I am sure after all this time a little break to put her toes in the sand is what she needs at this time.  Wishing her all the best (and a little jealous).  MEI-Travel is working over the next week to contact their clients with a new agent that is stepping into very big sets of shoes to fill, but the new agents can do it.  It does take a little time to ensure that the new agent has everything and both Danette and Stephanie will be working thru June 30th to help with the transition of their clients.  To say that this was a very hard decision for both of them is an understatement.
Also, I want to thank all of you for allowing me to work with you all.  Being able to chat with your guys almost daily for the past 5 years or more has helped me grow in knowledge of Royal and cruising.  There is no way I can think of this group without thinking about all the group cruises – the laughter, the tears, the burning bus, the exploding toilet, the first stop at Perfect Day, St Patrick’s Day and the most expensive Guinness beer or two I have ever paid for… and the memories go on and on….. SHOTS!  How could I not mention the SHOTS!   But more importantly, Matt.  The countless hours of planning for group events, looking up changes and many possible group cruises that never happened, there is just not enough time for me to write up how special my relationship with Matt and his family is.  All of this made it very hard for me to make this change, but I am stepping away from MEI-Travel to pursue a new opportunity.  This new opportunity will come with new challenges and a chance to spread my wings a little.  I hope our paths cross on a cruise some day or maybe in the Orlando area some time (This time without my suitcase with me!).
MEI-Travel has a team of agents that work with Matt and they work together to provide great service to you all.  I know with cancellations coming in the very near future you might be concerned with all this change, but the team is there to help you all.
 
See you on a cruise!

I am so thankful they somehow managed to avoid using the phrase "out of an abundance of caution..." ?????

I wouldn't worry about it.  It's typical Royal IT.

I'm swapping out my Allure 2022 sailing for Symphony, Jan 29, 2022 (Somehow got it priced $900 less for than Allure!)

rebooked on the 6 night from FLL.  rate went up from my 7 night galveston sail date, but they honored the original rate for the 2br AS (taxes changed slightly, though)...so all is good!

That's great!!  They offer other kinds of discounts but rarely apply them (police, for instance.  And maybe never, now that they are public enemy #1).
