Yay, hearing this from a pro like yourself has me even more excited! The 3 and 4 day itineraries are only attractive to me for the 2 days at Perfect Day. We will treat Nassau as a day at sea and enjoy the ship while most are off exploring. I did purchase the UDP for the 4 day and should just do the same for the 3 day so we are not regretting that. Hubby wants to try Izumi, or he did on Oasis so he will be in a food coma. Drink package is a moot issue, I only drink bud light and I would not remember the cruise if I drank that many in one day. Starbucks is another story all together, love those cold brews! How does the b2b procedures work on Royal? We are in the same cabin both cruises so hope it is painless, Disney makes you wait a few hours onshore before reboarding.

Thank you!

Was looking for something to do for my birthday (April) and well I booked a 4 night and 3 night on the Navigator. Have only sailed on Oasis Class ships (and all of Disney's ships) so hoping this wasn't a mistake. Unlimited Dining Plan is a few bucks cheaper I guess since there are not all the options, but for $25/day we may just do on one cruise and not the other. Also noticed there is not a Sorrento's on Navigator, is there pizza anywhere else? I honestly thought that Sorrentos was on all the ships....oh I have so much to learn. LOL With the Unlimited dining plan looks like we get $20 for Playmakers, is that just once a day or can we eat there for lunch and dinner? Honestly my husband would enjoy Hooked and Jaime's and I would go and sit with him but I don't eat seafood or pasta so hoping I could just slide in for a burger. Please share tips and suggestions.

My September cruise was cancelled on Friday July 17th. Again doesn't help much but if monthly then I would think next Friday August 14th. However there is a conference call for business update and second quarter on Monday August 10th at 10a. If I was a betting man (which I suck at gambling) I would think further cancellations would be announced during the call. Best of luck and here is to hope we can return to cruising sooner rather than later!

Thank you so much!

I know I have seen the website shared here to request your lift and shift. My September cruise has finally been cancelled and I would like to see what options I have. You would think RCCL would send this with the cancellation notice, but they did not. Can someone share the website please? Thanks

Our Lift and Shift for both rooms were moved to a new date in 2021 and the other room with the KSF remained price protected as well. My great nephew will be sailing under this offer and he will be 13. Thanks to MEI for making this happen.

Still hoping we are sailing in a few months. I know this is less than 2 weeks after the CLIA suspension announcement and with so much speculation out there I made a back up reservation for Walt Disney World. Florida appears to be a mess with COVID, can someone just push the reset button on 2020 please???

Wow I wouldn't use that TA again! Does the TA not process payments directly with Royal?

Thanks Annette and all the hard working TA's at MEI. I know Stephanie submitted the request for our 2 rooms yesterday.

The request to Lift and Shift was sent by our TA but she was not sure it would be accepted. Guess time will tell if they honor the KSF price or not. Thanks everyone

wow, my niece asked me this as we are sailing 12/6 and her son turns 12 while on the cruise....I told her no. We are gonna contact our agent at MEI @StephanieH and change to next year. That is a very generous offer for sure.

I hope they will allow me and my family to cancel and move to another ship without a penalty. I booked with MEI so I hope they have some pull to make this happen. I know Allure is a beautiful ship, but my 11 yo nephew was looking forward to so much of the new stuff. He has only done a Disney Cruise and the new stuff (slides/escape room) is how we sold him on going on Royal.

I have always loved inside staterooms and prefer them. However on our all our upcoming cruises we did upgrade to a balcony in case of being quarantined.... I had 14675 on Symphony last time and it was quite nice.

Yea I think I am going to book a cruise in September/ October out of Miami and wait for RCCL to cancel the October cruise and get the 125% FCC or I will do the Life and Shift to next October.

Thank you all. I knew where to turn when I needed some great advice and insight. You guys ROCK!

Thank you....We are doing the Embassy Suites...I will get my Hilton points, free drinks, free breakfast oh and free drinks...LOL Great info though and I certainly appreciate it.

Well flights and hotel are booked....now we just need a ship to come get us. Fingers crossed.

it all sounds so lovely...LOL Thanks everyone

So is there anything to do around the port area? LOL We don't have any desire to go into the city...we are not the big city type at all. Cleveland and Columbus are large enough for us. LOL

Great point about debarkation post 'Rona... Also I was looking at Embassy as I am a Hilton snob so it is booked. ? SOLD

Well @JohnK6404 we are on the same sailing. We were gonna drive (from Ohio) but the parking is more than 1 flight so with gas and wear and tear we figure we can fly and be about break even.

Fingers crossed we are going on Oasis of the Seas (LOVE her) in October from Bayonne. We will be flying into EWR and spending the night before the cruise. Any hotel recommendations or are all airport hotels created equally? Also I know the port is close to the airport, could we make a 9:30a flight back home? I know things can happen and disembarkation delayed. We do express walk off and have made an 8:30a flight in Miami after our January sailing. There is an earlier flight at 8:30 as well from EWR. Thoughts??? Thanks in advance! Daniel
