WAAAYTOOO

Nobody knows yet, of course....but it is probably a 99% chance that nothing was done to relocate the DL. They were pretty clear that only engineering repairs/upgrades were being completed.

No, it's not a problem. You will see them there until Royal officially cancels them. Not to worry

Sadly, this is no longer socially acceptable. For some reason, it’s considered abusive. These days, we can only go for “I’ll slap you into next week”. Too bad. Longing for the good ol days

It’s fetus Star Class right of passage.

First of all, if you are unhappy with the service you got on the original booking, I recommend that you change Agencies for the rebooking. The FCC is in your name, not the Agency’s, so if you want to change you can. I certainly would ! You should have gotten an email from Royal with the certificate names, amounts, and numbers from the cancelled booking. That’s all you need to get started on the rebooking. If you didn’t get that information, call Royal and request it. Just leave the bad Agency in the dust.

Have you tried appealing this "rule" ? I think some have been successful in having it overturned.

Just ask your Concierge for help when he/she contacts you prior to the cruise. They should be able to take care of that for you

I have still not received cruise planner refunds from our cancelled May Majesty booking. Neither have we received our refunds for taxes, port fees or gratuities. We did receive the FCC for the cruise fare and interestingly, they were each $13 more than they should have been. BIG WHOOP !!

Yes, as far as I know you can still have Starbucks delivered to your suite.

I wanted to touch base once again with more good news regarding this moved casino comp booking. When I made the move from August 2020 to Feb 2021 with this casino comp, I completely forgot about the $150 Free Play that was part of the original comp deal. I figured...there is no way they are going to add that back in, since it was not part of the original switch....but I figured it was worth a call. To my great surprise and glee, the Casino Rep said, "No problem. I see that you had $150 each in Free play on the original booking. I will add it back". So, with that....in less than 2 minutes, I had restored the $150 each in Free Play to our booking !!! With so many BAD things happening with cancellations, rebookings and S.L.O.W refunds, I wanted to provide a GOOD report. Not everything is going wrong. I think that Royal is really doing the right thing with this latest announcement about Odyssey and Jewel/Liberty. They are now allowing affected pax to book ANY same-itinerary cruise with price protection on a cruise within 1 week on either side of the cancelled cruise. This is the way they should have done it all along....and they are learning. With each successive round of cancellations, they are adding more and more options to try and keep those booking. Price protecting to a different ship is a great thing for everyone.

I don't think it took much of a push from the sound of it !! Symphony is going to be awesome.

I think the most important thing to consider is whether your new cruise will be covered by Cruise With Confidence. There is a finite amount of time that this program is in effect. If your new cruise falls within the timeline for CWC, then I think you are correct - the premium for refundable deposit is probably not worth it. IF your new booking falls beyond the deadline for CWC, then you might still want to consider paying the refundable deposit premium.

I think everyone is getting weird refund amounts. I cannot say for sure WHAT they are doing, but they are SUPPOSED to refund the taxes, port fees and gratuities as CC refunds. They should not be part of the FCC in any way, if they are doing what they said they would do.

I really have no idea.

There have always just been the 2 of us...but we have stayed in 2 different GLS on Anthem. Is it possible ? Yes. Would it be comfortable ? Maybe. There is 1 double sofabed that would probably accommodate your friend and that would mean the kids would have rollaways. If they are ok with that, it should work. If you are in 8724 or 8324, I think you would have plenty of room. If you are in one of the corner GLS I'm not sure.

I'm sure you know more about this than me. I hope you're right !

+1. Let's not live that nightmare again....

That's my girl !! ?

I would think those older ships would never be able to comply with the environmental requirements of sailing out of CA, which is primarily the reason RCCL isn't sailing out of CA now ! Charleston or Jacksonville or Norfolk all sound like great ideas to me....but I doubt Royal is looking to expand their coverage at this point. I really just do not see a use for those ships again. IMO, they are going to be getting rid of even MORE of the small ships.

Hmmmm....Yeah, I guess this does fall outside of most of the airlines' dates for coverage for "no rebooking fees". Sucks. Maybe the airlines will extend their covered dates. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you re: insurance. When I renewed my annual Allianz policy last month they were very explicit that they would cover NO COVID-related losses with the exception of those relating to emergency medical/evacuation costs incurred while ON the cruise.

Not sure I exactly understand your question....but I think you are asking if you will receive a cash refund if all of your FCC is not used. To my knowledge, the answer to that question is "no". In the good ol' days, you could apply an FCC to an already paid-in-full booking and get it out the other side as a refund to your CC, but they are no longer allowing that (shock, shock). IT is my understanding that if FCC is not used before it expires, it is gone - poof.

Man.....I would be depressed about that myself ! So sorry. I noticed you said in another post that you would lose your airfare. Why is that ? Are they not willing to move it to another date for you ?

I haven't even received CP purchases from my cancelled May Majesty cruise yet ! I have received the FCC for the cruise fare, but nothing for taxes, port fees or gratuities OR CP purchases.

Amendment to my post above. The one thing that will cost you extra in SC is the Chef's Table. Originally there was no additional charge, but the last time we chose to do CT, they charged us $25 PP additional for the wine. I thought it was kinda silly, but them's the rules. It was still well worth it. We always enjoy the CT but don't do it every time.

I don't imagine any of the smaller (or bigger, for that matter !) are in the market for more ships right now, unfortunately.
