When my spouse had to wear a mask for work, he had horrible headaches every day for months within the first 2 hours of getting there that wouldn’t go away until the following morning ………. Then he’d go to work and there was the headache again.  But he never had headaches on his days off.
Whatever is right …….. it’s not worth spending thousands for him to have a miserable headache all the time on a vacation because we have to have masks on all night every night to hang out at the bars and clubs unless “actively” putting food or drinks into our mouths at all times.  No thank you!

Masks must now be worn at all times inside unless “actively eating and drinking”
 

Does this email look sufficient to guarantee they won’t say later that we just didn’t show up and cant get a refund?

WE (and I use that term collectively) are keeping the industry alive by continuing to cruise and book cruises.  I am one bad discussion away (and I suspect many others are as well) from walking away from the industry completely.  Yes they have to walk a fine line.....but they are off the line right now (AGAIN).  I can drop 5 digits a trip ANYWHERE but I choose to do it here multiple times per year......but not much longer

The CDC has no power to enforce anything leaving from Florida. It's time that Royal tells them to go stick it.

Yes, they kept asking if I’d be willing to move to a cruise on a later date or if I wanted an FCC ……. I stuck to my guns and said no, that I wanted a cash refund because had they told me this yesterday before 48 hours instead of today, I would have cancelled under Cruise With Confidence.  They claim the CDC just made the rule for them and told just them today.

Carrying a drink doesn’t work ……… on our October and November cruises if you walked inside around with a drink you weren’t drinking at the time and weren’t in a vaccinated only area they’d yell at you to put your mask on ……… now you even have to wear a mask in the vaccinated only areas unless ACTIVELY eating or drinking 

The girl I’ve been taking to at Royal CLAIMS she cancelled it for a full cash refund ……. But says she can’t sent me an email verifying that ……. The reservation still shows active ……. I’m supposed to just take her word they won’t just say we didn’t show up …… I’m waiting for a supervisor now …….. I want actual PROOF in an email saying they cancelled it and I’m getting a refund!

I’m on hold with Royal now …….. she has me on hold while she gets approval to do a cash refund instead of an FCC

Yep ,same here. Tried that and on the very first day they said I had to wear a mask even when I had a drink in my hand. 

Tried that last week, didn't work. Not allowed to walk around with a drink and no mask. You have to put up and down and up and down while you drink. 

You should. Not the same, but we were supposed to get a $270 OBC and at the last minute told us that they refunded the amount to a random credit card that wasn't even my card! So yes, get something in writing!

OMG I was just going to post this @ChrisK2793 I am already in Ft Lauderdale and am not happy. I would have canceled in a heartbeat, this stinks!!! THIS IS WRONG!!! This is greedy BS they sent this last minute so they would have to refund less. Again, Royal wants your money if so bad cancel holiday sailings!!!

I wonder if you have to prove it with a positive test if you call today and say you tested positive for Covid??????

It's gotten beyond out of hand. I'm sure we will be cancelling NYE sailing next week. I haven't heard from the Concierge yet, but we are definitely out if they are not selling tables on the Promenade like usual for the big party. There are plenty of places on land (especially here in Florida) where we can enjoy a festive NYE party so it's not worth it to pay over 10 grand for what it will probably look like on a cruise ship this year. So sad, another cruise down the drain.

Think I'm going to move my 7 day cruise aboard Harmony on Sep 2022 to Wonder Nov 2022, only going to cost me about $300 more. Certainly worth paying to be on a brand new ship!
