Hmm, mines on 9/14 on Independence out of Lauderdale not Canaveral ... second ship doing the same run ?

 

Well, not two separate private island stops.

I have that exact cruise booked for September so i think the answer is yes ?

Me too!! Sept 14th-18th out of PC.

I cancelled my Drink package separately and got that money credited within a few days. However, I am still waiting on my taxes and port fees to be refunded on my April 24th cruise that was cancelled mid march.

Absolutely. I don't usually get off in Nassau anyway!

Wow that is crazy! I am at $69 for a 3-night in June and a 4 night in sept to the Bahamas.

It's all personal preference. Judging by your comment you seem to like knowing your cabin #. Some people are fine with GTY cabins, some are not. I don't typically care because I just sleep and shower there!

Holy mackerel, Carnival just cancelled all cruises to the end of the year!!!   Oh Royal please don't do this!!!

This is not good!!

Probably will not see a significant rise until the ships start sailing with passengers again and strong quarterly profits are realized.

While the passport is not needed for cruising (use Birth Certificate), I think you would need to renew the passport if you wish to use it if it expires within 6 months of your cruise.

I would rather have my dividends cut than to see the company fail.

You should probably contact Royal Caribbean directly. They may not give out that info though.

This is the best I have found!! https://www.youtube.com/user/RoyalCaribbeanBlog

Haven't seen mine either, they are probably severely backlogged. I did get an email about my onboard purchases being refunded but not my FCC.

GTY?

Guarantee stateroom. You are guaranteed a stateroom at the level you chose, but you won't know the actual cabin till closer to sailing.

I am kicking myself a little for not buying last week, but I am also glad I showed some restraint. I decided to see what the announcements are in a week or so and make a decision then. I would still stand to make a healthy margin if I bought now, but if another dip is coming, that's when I plan on going.

The safer bet is to wait until the ships start sailing again. But there is definitely deals to be had right now.

Yes that is normal with GTY.

Hopefully it keeps going up!

Well said Alex!
