Oh that’s awful! I’m so sorry they missed their cruise!

Or, use a 3rd party insurance ( example Tripinsurancestore.com ). Then the flights and cruise and any pre- or post- cruise hotels can all be covered. When I use airline points, I still include the little bit of airline ticket taxes on the overall insurance costs. It then covers the flights for interruption or delay, and most will also reimburse any redeposit of miles or points fee. It also then shows the correct inclusive “trip dates”. good luck!

This thread says ongoing saga. Sorry, I must have missed your initial post. Did your brother miss the whole cruise (flights canceled to cruise), or was it flights going home canceled after the cruise is over? Just trying to understand the context of the problem, Good luck!

Wow, that’s crazy $$

Do you have additional information - did they insure the flights, too? Or just the cruise?

Just looked for you - It’s offered on the Caribbean itineraries I have booked.

Oh, then I must apologize. I misunderstood, and thought you booked the Coco Cay Perfect Day purchase ahead of time in the Cruise Planner online! That changes things. I think there is a post cruise contact - perhaps guest satisfaction or something, whom you can email about not being refunded for the excursion - make sure you advise it was booked onboard. Anyone out there have the contact email Rob can use for post-cruise follow up? Edit: also if you use Twitter or Social Media - others have had success with a short one or two sentence post about not being for refunded excursion after port missed . Usually the social media group will ask for a DM with your cruise booking number to follow up.

OP Rob), while it’s disappointing to miss a port, if the medical diversion was for you or your family you would be so grateful to have a medical emergency taken so expeditiously and seriously by the Captain. your prebooked charges for Coco Cay should be refunded to method of payment. Count your blessings you were not the person with the medical emergency.

Yes! Email affects it too. I called Royal to ask for email confirmation on a newly booked cruise, and mentioned that it wasn’t showing In my account. The CS agent noticed I mis-typed my email when I booked online. He corrected email linked to the booking, and it immediately showed up in my account. Also, Welcome to the Blog!

Are you not adding the child to the booking? You mentioned 2 adults and one baby. You need to book for 3 passengers. edit: also since this is your first cruise, be aware that there are minimum ages for infants to sail, 6 months, unless 3 or more sea days in a row, then minimum age is 1 year. what ship and sailing are you considering? Also, welcome to the Blog !!

It’s a Work in Process. Go back and look again. They are doing great!

Just noticed the work on the Roll Call section. The addition of Ship names, and then differentiation by sail dates. Looks really nice!

If anyone booked the Radiance 15 day Panama Canal the first 2 days, check your price. I saw that Balcony/Suite discount was applicable when I mock priced today, C&A rep applied the discount for me this morning.

Thanks. The variety in the long (9-10 day) sailings is great. 3 visits to Key West and Perfect Day. 2 visits to Colon Panama and Cartagena. Several combining all the Western Ports. and the 15 day repo through Panama Canal.

Yes, When I read those posts about him (loved that he had extensive experience working at the canal), I was hopeful that this would be a regular feature on Royal ships. Keeping my fingers crossed .

They were up yesterday evening also. Love they have longer cruises. I booked the westbound Panama Canal in April. Excited!

@twangster, I know this thread has “a few years” on it, but just wanted to say thanks for your wonderful pictures and commentary. I’ve booked a Westbound Panama Canal cruise for April 2023 (Galveston to LA). Reading this thread has been so helpful (especially vantage points transiting the canal). My itinerary also has Cartagena, and I can’t wait, as your photos showed the beauty of the old town. Do you know whether Royal always has a commentator on board for the full transits? sure hope so. Thanks again for your details and photos.

Wow, love the longer sailings! Much cruise news the last 2 weeks. I had been considering the Ruby Princess Repo back to SF in April 2023, but now Radiance repo to LA also in April is in the mix !! Fun, fun fun!

Yea, the Galveston Harmony cruises have been available to book for the last 2 weeks. Exciting!

Wow, that is really strange!. For my example a few posts above, I only entered crown and anchor status - also 2 passengers. I left the other fields blank for the comparison. You may want to try to call Royal or a TA, and see if they quote you a different price. also, it was only lower for me for JS for the April 25, 2024 cruise Oh - I believe the sale with extra off ended yesterday. Not sure if your example above was done before today? sorry! .

@The Fox, I quoted myself instead of you - This is after I selected 2 passengers - and added only my C&A number for discounts. (What prices did you get that JS was higher than balcony ?) $534 pp balcony, $483 pp JS.

For the April 25, 2024 sailing? I’m curious now. How many passengers did you select?

Make sure you enter your C&A number after you select the number of guests, to see the extra flash sale. There’s an option in small print about promo codes or discounts - choose that. Once C& A is in it will say up top something about you will get the best deal. After that, then you can choose category and cabin

Adventure short cruises into April 2024 are added. There's a 6-night, April 25-May 1, 2024 where the Junior Suites are currently priced less than balconies, with an extra $550 off for C&A members. There are some hump JS still available.

Harmony of the Seas cruises avail for booking out of Galveston now. Nov 1, 2023 a 4 day Wednesday to Sunday. 7 day Sun-Sun after that,
