WAAAYTOOO

We had an excursion to Bamboo Beach Club a number of years ago. It is a very long bus ride to get there and we felt the property has been oversold. Loungers were nearly impossible to find. Never again.

No, I really have no idea if you will get any C&A points or not. I can tell you that for our shortened Feb Anthem cruise, we received all of the original 8 cruise points rather than the 5 points, which was the number of nights we actually cruised. But we actually sailed, where you will not. Truthfully, I’m thinking that you will not get any points for a cruise that never happened.

Since Royal has cancelled the cruise you should get a direct refund.

Welcome to the blog, Chris !

Without violating any confidentiality issues, can you tell us how you handled it ? I would think that it would be difficult, much like @Jim S said, to make such a broad statement. Interesting, from the Physician’s perspective.

No kidding ! I’m with you, Steph. Every 15 minutes some new hysteria. It’s ridiculous

Well, that’s a bit better but still...so much unnecessary stress and work. Deep breath. It’s gonna be ok...???

Yes, you can definitely do that but you would have to fund the entire “new” cruise with “new” money. They would not allow you to use your FCC for the cruise from which it was generated. There is also a possibility that you would not be able to get your original room back. Something to think about, though.

Correct. They are offering no price protection at all. Future cruise prices (beyond the crisis date) are significantly more, for the most part.

OMG that is horrible. I would be in a puddle of tears in the living room floor. So, out of 30 people, only 2 are left ?

That’s the only kind of extension cord I’ve ever seen Royal provide. You’re right. It looks like something I used on my hedge.

Thank you. It took the stuffin’ outta me though. Nap time !

Just returned from a mini-grocery shopping event. First time since my knee surgery. Surprisingly, shelves were pretty full. Everything but TP. We just laughed. We are good with TP so it wasn’t an issue. Plenty of bread, eggs, milk, fruit and other perishables. I’m grateful. Tired though. Big outing for me ! ??

Yes, unfortunately, unless there is one of the big Star Class suites up on 17 that is available for less than you paid for your suite, you are just out of luck. ??

Yes, but only for those 70 or older. My confusion is for everyone else.

I love Central Park, too. Such a relaxing and serene (usually) spot. Enjoy your last day ! I can’t believe it’s almost over.

Bingo!! This is the answer, I'm sure. It's a CYA thing.

I think emailing is the best way to handle it. A phone call is probably the last thing ANY agent wants right now. God bless her, Michelle always responds to emails very promptly. They’re definitely earning their commissions right now...

I’m still skeptical of how they would even know. The form that they cite is for persons over 70...there is no way that they are going to require a signed doctors note from EVERY passenger. If you are under 70 and have borderline Type II diabetes, how would they ever confirm that ? If they are counting on people being honest....I have a bridge for sale.

I don’t think this policy has even gone into affect yet

When in a pinch.....

EXCELLENT !!!

I guess for once in our lives, Dan and I actually got ahead of the toilet paper stampede. We went to BJ's just before I had my knee surgery and stocked up on all things paper. We actually got Clorox wipes, hand sanitizer, toilet paper AND beer AND water. Those items have long since been picked clean so I'm thrilled that we went early. #theupsidetohavingkneesurgery.

It sounds like you are having a blast. It's SUCH good therapy for we beleaguered - those of us that are dry docked and having to read one sad cruise story after another - missed ports, cancelled cruises, embarkation ports closing. PLEASE keep sending us HAPPY news and continue having fun for ALL of us. ...and getting stuck on the champagne bowl slide is a right of passage. A friend told me....

Is that really happening ? I guess I haven't been keeping up with the specifics about Italy. Is the healthcare system overwhelmed ?
