Thank you both for your help! I think I'm just going to take the refunds, as I feel that the crystal ball as to when cruising will return and what it will be like gets fuzzier and fuzzier as time goes on. Then I'll have maximum flexibility.

That's what I was afraid of. So if I use a $1000 FCC on a remaining cruise balance of $900, I will be issued a separate $100 FCC that can only be used on one sailing with no other FCCs allowed on that sailing, correct? This essentially negates the usefulness of the extra 25%, at least for me, and makes me think I may need to convert my FCC's back to refunds before it's too late. Also a bit concerning is the lack of extension of FCC usage, as far as I'm aware.

Hi all, I have a very specific FCC question that I hope someone can answer. I've been trying to find an answer for this on the blog and could not. This article: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2020/06/26/you-can-combine-future-cruise-credits-instead-of-separately-being-reissued tells how I can combine FCC's. My question is, if I have a cruise (CRUISE 1) that has been paid for partially in FCC, and partially by credit card (let's say $1000 FCC and $500 cash for total cost of $1500 cruise), and I have another entirely separate FCC for say, $700, from an entirely different cance

Well stated. And the changing goalposts that a few have mentioned. I refrain from politics here, but the fact remains that much of this cruise shutdown and pandemic in general, has become more politicized than a health related situation should be. I have seen many organizations, governmental or otherwise, use this as an opportunity to gain more power, and I'm afraid the CDC is one of the organizations that sees the pandemic as allowing them to have broader powers than they had before 2020. -

Depending on which ship you're going on, I would say two cruises. On many ships the Junior Suites are just a small bit larger than the balconies, and many of the newer ships (Oasis and Quantum class) have huge balcony cabins. Unless you want a specific benefit of the Jr. Suite, such as the extra points or the bathtub, I say go two cruises!

@RBRSKI, would you be willing to amend the date on this? I have an Oasis cruise on 12/6 that I would really like to sail! -

I agree. As much as we'd love to see the testing schedule and know every little detail, those may not be released. All we're likely to see is which cruises they plan to sail, at least in early December. They seem to be trying to cancel cruises about a month out, so I'm guessing the next week will let us know which ships they are likely to start with. I do however, think that they *could* be ready for paying customers on December 1st (staying optimistic). They have a lot of these requirements laid out already with the Healthy Sail Panel, and I assume that they are ready to go at implementi -

To follow up to this, Explorer did not get her recent renovation, as Matt said. However, I sailed on her February 2020 (barely before COVID), and LOVED the panoramic ocean view staterooms. These are at the front on deck 12 and were added in 2016, so they still feel much newer than the rest of the ship (light wood vs dark wood, etc.) We also enjoyed the hot tub in the gym, which was to be removed during the renovation. Even without the waterslides and new (planned) additions, Explorer is a great ship!

I'm also hoping that it changes. The regulations now really only apply to Singapore cruises, since they're all that is approved so far (fingers crossed for others). I know mask wearing is more normal (before 2020) in most Asian areas than it is in the US. Thinking that may have something to do with the sweeping mask mandates.

Sure hope this gets thrown out of court. That's the stock market for crying out loud! If you can't afford the risk find a less risky investment or diversify.
