This is really good of Royal Caribbean. It must be really tough for them as it is for lots of businesses but this is a sign of a company with great values. We have a May trip from Italy booked and its really nice to have the option if we need it. It reduces the worry helps to plan and as we are taking kids while I'm not personally to worried I but dont really want to put them in a bad situation. Im more than happy for them to hold the cash in the meantime as we will totally be back if we don't go this time around. Now just need Emirates to come to the party.

$63 now. A couple of days later. I think my $40 prediction is looking optimistic. The trading site forums are predicting more like $20. If anyone owns these shares for cruise credit reasons etc. I would seriously look at selling and buying back in the future. Forget about dividends as someone else said most likely it will need to be capital raising.

Seems like a total loophole if you just dont want to go anymore, claim you are sick. Im my experience even if they want proof almost any doctor will give you a medical certificate even if you just say you feel bad. My own Dr would probably just give me one if I asked her for no particular reason. Not to mention how would they even validate doctors in totally different countries or languages. Its not a refund of course, but its still pretty good option.

The dividend will be based on last years profit which was not affected. Next years will almost certainly be a big loss so maybe no dividend at all. Who knows the future but with shares the traders always warn to never try to catch a falling knife and that knife is still falling.

100 shares would cost around 8k at the current price. With the share price plummeting by the day and why would it stop now.. you could lose a lot more than the hundred dollar credit very fast. Better to wait till it bottoms out. I could see it halving again easily as it's already dropped 40 a share in the last month. I wouldn't count on any dividends for a fair while either. Nice point out for the future thou.

Also in the same boat (so to speak) with a 9 day cruise on the 27th of May out of Rome on the newly refitted explorer. Were/Are so looking forward to it, but given they are shutting schools etc and we would have to pass through Italy (obviously) and had planned on 5 days in Rome before hand - are seemingly resigned to the fact it probably wont go ahead. In a week or 2 we cross the 75% refund if we cancel and it drops to less - so really confused what to do . As others have said we also have a stack of other stuff around it (a 45 day trip) that is also tied up. I know its hard for RCI but it would be really good if they could at least give us some directions sooner rather than later.
