Super Pumped! Wanted to go thanksgiving week like we did in 2022 but it was better for us to do the following cruise, and we’re able to do a 1 Bedroom Suite for the same price.

We’re also going on this week! For our last cruise in June, I followed the instructions above and it was pretty exact!

Unless you moved here (FL) during the pandemic after being SO excited to be able to drive to the port. And then every cruise we’ve had booked since then has been cancelled fingers crossed cruising out of Port Everglades (FLL) in 20 days!

When you say you can cancel and rebook immediately, when it says it is refunded to my original payment method, that could take days on the card side of things. Any tips?

Before we lived in Florida, we did rent a car from port canaveral to Orlando because we stayed an extra day. There are shuttles and they are fairly quick. Now if only I could take advantage of being able to drive to the port instead of renting a car maybe my June cruise will go as planned.

Hi All, My husband & I are booked on Allure of the Seas from June 19 - 25th. I was in the portal today trying to book an excursion for Cozumel on June 22, and kept getting an error. It seems that it is showing on our reservation that we will not be in Cozumel on the 22nd. The RC reps I spoke with were very helpful and have put in IT Tickets to have this resolved, but has anyone else on this sailing encountered this?

Has anyone done the Adventure to Jade Caverns by ATV - (Driver & Passenger - Double Ride) in Cozumel?

We've also used the Fly, Snooze, Cruise (when we were traveling from CO, we now live in FL), however as others have mentioned, we opted to stay in Orlando. Our flight did not get in until 11:15 pm and we couldn't fathom putting our littles (10,8) on a shuttle to Port Canaveral after hours of traveling. Our shuttle driver was fantastic, and it was so much easier that having to drop everyone, and then my husband having to take the rental car back.

You have until the 21st to decide if you want the 125% FCC or a 100% refund. We opted for the FCC and it says we should receive the email with the FCC vouchers by Feb 4th. Hopefully it is that quick, as I canceled one in may of last year, for a 2022 cruise and it took almost 6 months for me to get the vouchers . “Dear Guest, As a result of ongoing COVID-related circumstances, Royal Caribbean International is cancelling the 2-night January 22, 2022 sailing onboard Independence of the Seas.

Well that's great. Thank you reading through it with me! Yeah, I had canceled one that we were supposed to take our kids on, back before the vaccine was approved for the littles, and it took almost 6 months to get my FCC vouchers.

I did not use a FCC for this, so then I should be good for the 125% FCC?

This was our first back and our first without our kids. Just a quick weekend away, ugh. I'm so bummed.

Yeah, we got our email at 1pm that they cancelled for our Jan 22-24
