If I go forward on my June cruise, I'll book Chops for lunch on embarkation day through my Cruise Planner and report back. The things we do in the name of research!

On one of my cruises that's been cancelled now, I was able to both put it in my cart AND complete the transaction; I'm wondering if Chops was closed for "The Key" luncheon, which has now moved to the MDR?

If you want the points refunded, I would contact PlayStudios support (the folks who make MyVegas, MyKonami, etc.) and explain that you'll be cancelling your cruise. Ask if you can get a point refund. If they allow it, they'll likely just tell you to send a screenshot confirming you cancelled your cruise (if you booked through a TA, I'd ask them for an email confirming it's been cancelled, and if through RCCL, I'd explain the same and request something) and they'll need the reward code. I was able to get a points refund on a cruise I cancelled -- though it's a sailing that falls within the "Cruise With Confidence" period, so I dunno if that made a difference. If they give you a point refund. Here's a link to the PlayStudios support site. Just hit the "Contact" button in the upper right and fill out the form. Alternatively, if you wanna try to move the OBC to another date, I'd contact Club Royale via email at [email protected]

Speaking of prices, if anybody's interested in doing a Alaska cruise late in the season (if they go forward...please, let them go forward!), check out prices on August and September 2020 sailings!

Oh, man...you knew it was coming, but you couldn't look away. It was one of those slow-motion moments!

This is where I'm at, too. I've got more than one refund coming back, and already have my FCC from another cruise, so I'm just awaiting the funds to return to my account whenever that might be. Yes, I could use that money right now, but honestly, I'd already planned for it to be out of my account, so waiting is not really an issue for me.

I was just pricing out upgrades to my Christmas cruise on Grandeur, and it turns out if my June cruise is cancelled, I'll be able to make a fairly inexpensive jump to a balcony cabin on Grandeur in December. Heck, before final payment is due in September, maybe even the leap to JS would be reasonable. I suddenly feel much more calm about all of this, knowing that whenever I cruise, I'll be able to treat myself. My obsessiveness has been in high gear since I booked my first RC cruise back in January, and my anxiety has been in fairly high gear since all of this started back in early March.

Why is being in a magic act so tough on rabbits? Hare today...gone tomorrow.

I'd honestly be fine with either having it refunded or being able to use it on my December cruise. In fact, I'm hoping for the latter -- that's why I was wondering.

Because of the Canadian port closures, Royal changed the itinerary of my June 4 cruise on Adventure, taking out the Canadian ports and replacing them with an overnight in Bermuda. When they changed the itinerary, they offered us the choice of 100% refund, 125% FCC, or OBC based on your cabin type ($250 for interior, oceanview, and balcony, and $450 for suites). They're making the OBC refundable. If they cancel, I know I'll get either the 100% refund or the 125% FCC, but my question is: what happens to that OBC? Will it be available for future use?

I certainly don't know the exact answer, but this was my first thought as to why.

Did you hear about the chameleon who couldn't change color? He had a reptile dysfunction.
