This link has been updated. Evidently Royal offered them refund or 125% FCC. Seems the organizers are the ones to blame here and not Royal. https://www.tmz.com/2020/04/01/royal-caribbean-cruise-nursecon-no-refunds-credit/

You will be absolutely fine with this Passport for your November itinerary.

The 6 month validity rule is not applicable to those arriving by cruise ship

Depending on the timing of ones cancellation (before or after final payment) determines cash refund or FCC; if Royal cancels the cruise, one gets to choose between refund or FCC

or done away with completely

When the area gets the “all clear” these ports will be tripping over one another to get the revenue that an Oasis class ship brings.

Just wait

Where would they change the itinerary too?? The whole world is on lockdown.

This article was written by “Captain Obvious”, and his partner “Lieutenant Doomsday”, the industry will rebound.

But you would be getting EXACTLY the same treatment from Carnival, they would not be handling your situation any differently; but I agree, it sucks on many, many levels

I am perplexed by the title of this thread. It appears (mathematically) that Carnival isn’t doing anything better than Royal on the cancelled cruises. On most itineraries I bet the extra 25% FCC comes close to or surpasses $600 OBC

Side note : the Allure dry dock seems to be getting greatly reduced as well, no AMP, just propulsion and other mechanics

Why would anyone dispose of 60 days income when one does not know of it is necessary? There is tremendous benefit to Royal waiting 3 weeks, re-evaluating the landscape and extending the “blackout”; no harm - no foul.

You can always ask for the cash refund.

I’m a big fan of the Hilton Caribe

Moot point now

Your credit company will not help in this situation. First question they will ask is “have you cancelled with Royal?” “Did they ignore/deny your request?” The answer is no on all counts. Put on your grown up pants, call back, put the phone on speaker, pour a glass of wine, and wait like everyone else.

Well sure I’d rather have the cash back as well (no way I’d be cancelling however) but this just isn’t happening. The industry is making a very noble effort in the offer they are making especially when, contractually they don’t have to offer anything if you choose not to cruise. It may not be exactly what you want but it is still very generous.

If you are paying for all the charges from all the rooms then ultimately the OBC from the other rooms will be coming off the top of your bill, so yes you are using it.

I must admit I haven’t noticed this phenomenon. The quarantined ships have been front and center in the news, but I don’t see anyone singling out the cruise industry.

Sorry but I have to disagree. The individuals that are not comfortable traveling can now choose to travel at a later, more comfortable time without losing thousands of dollars. I’d say that makes the consumer a pretty big beneficiary.

Sorry, guess I miss it, oh well

Waiting in limbo?? I don’t understand your issue. What are you waiting for?

Cruises aren’t being cancelled

You don’t have to book in 2021, you can book anytime THROUGH 2021
