Please let us hear from some of you recent cruisers about crew mask protocol . My family and I sailed on the Allure in Sept/21 . My heart went out to the poor lifeguards and outside wait staff on the ship and on Coco Cay having to wear masks . We love interacting with crew and the masks really put on damper on this experience not to mention how uncomfortable the must be . Can anyone give us an update on their crew mask observations .

Thank you ! That makes sense . The rooms have been booked for at least two months now , so no glitch. So probably no need to break out the old Head Banger outfits or buy a fox costume !

Sailing on the Mariner out of Orlando April 29 2023 . Checked on rates during a sale for price comparison and found every suite and balcony room are already sold out . I am thinking conference but can't find anything online and the RC rep I spoke to couldn't give me an answer on what going on . Anyone out there sailing on this cruise or have any pointers on how to maybe find out . Don't know if I want to be in the middle of a "Furry" convention .

3 days for us . 9/26/21 Allure cruise. Junior suite to one bedroom aqua theater suite. Didn’t tell the wife until we were at the door of the suite. To say the least she was quite pleased. Warning : Current cheap upgrades may be harmful to your wallet when/if things get back to normal and your spouse acquires a taste for deluxe rooms !

Yes . We have a cruise on the Harmony in October 2022 . They canceled our excursion in St. Thomas also. I received no notice . Found out by seeing the amount of excursion was credited back to my credit card. Looks like the excursions for St. Thomas for my cruise are very limited. I am wondering why also.

All very good points ! Thanks for your input . Now I don't have to sit on hold waiting for a RC rep !

Great ! Thank you .

Royal has changed our 9/26/21 Allure itinerary . We are still going to Nassau just on a different day . Will my snorkeling excursion booked through Royal transfer to the new day at the same price ? Anyone experience this ? Thanks for any words of wisdom in advance .

It was a booking promotion . Oh well , just hoping it might carry over . Thank you for the information !

Hey folks, This may have been discussed already but I haven't seen it . Can the OBC ( Mine is $125 for Mariner 4 day April 27th) be transferred to my next cruise( Freedom Sept.27th) if RC cancels my cruise or does it just disappear ? Anyone know ? Thanks .

Okay , thank you very much gentlemen . I will keep my fingers crossed .

Does anyone know if RC cancels a already paid for cruise will they refund the money , give a cruise credit for what I paid or allow me the same booking ( stateroom , dining ect) at a later time . I was able to get great prices for two upcoming cruises in April and September of 2020 and I am pretty sure I won't be able to book the same category stateroom in the future . Thanks for any help .

Okay thanks, l hope that is the reason and not permanent due to the expansion of excursions at the island. Anyone snorkel over the coral after the beginning of last month? We are heading there again in October and I would like to make other plans if that area isn’t available for snorkeling anymore.

I have been to Coco Cay several times in the past . I love to snorkel on my own . On my last trip to the island in the beginning of May 2019 , my favorite area to snorkel was roped off . I enjoy snorkeling near the rock breakwater and over the rocks and coral ( to the far left if you are facing out to the water) . The only area available was the grassy area where a few manmade structures are . Has anyone else experienced this ? Is it permanent ? Thanks for any feedback .
