    Cruise Queen 44 * Diamond got a reaction from Morganno in Excited About Cruising?   
    We were supposed to be on the Oasis of the Seas from 04/05/20 to 04/12/20 but it was canceled due to the pandemic.  I was devastated.  We had a beautiful Crown Loft Suite reserved (the nicest room we've ever booked) and I really wanted to see the revamp that was done in 2019.  The last time we were on the Oasis was in 2012.
    Fortunately, we have two more cruises booked.  One, for Christmas 2020 and the other, for Spring Break 2021.  Since we were able to get a full refund for our April 2020 cruise (sadly), I figured, what the heck?  I emailed my TA yesterday and upgraded our Junior Suite to a beautiful Owner's Suite on the Freedom of the Seas for our Christmas cruise.  YAY!  I will now start my Keto diet again, ramp up the exercises, and start getting bathing suit ready for December.  It will happen....it HAS to happen.  LOL!
    Here's to cruising SOON...very soon!

    Great topic for people to respond to.
    When do you all think the cruise lines will be back up and running, "business as usual"?  Once the suspension ends, it will probably take some time for the itineraries to be rescheduled and the destinations to clean up from this mess before they welcome tourist back into their countries. 
    I suspect this is going to hurt the industry for at least 3-6 months. 
    I'm doing my best to get "real" people's opinions and not pay any attention to the circus my husband is watching on tv.  LOL!

    Cruise Queen 44 * Diamond got a reaction from rjac in Royal visa   
    I called Royal Visa a couple of weeks ago, before all this mess started, and asked them if they could add my points back to my account.  They told me that they don't add the points back to your account but any unused OBC's would be refunded by mail. 
    Once you redeem the points, I guess the credit card company treats the benefit like cash.  I have a $100 OBC from our cruise that was cancelled so I suspect, I will get a check in the mail within the next 30-60 days.

    Cruise Queen 44 * Diamond got a reaction from WAAAYTOOO in Prices went up...   
    I couldn't figure out how to get a comparable cruise with the 125% FCC since the prices have increased.  I just decided to take the refund instead.

    I agree.  $600 OBC on a Star Class cancellation would be waaay less than 25%.

    I you want to change it, you should be able to.  If you want to sail as planned, I would watch for notifications and closely monitor this board.  The good people here know things before they happen sometimes.

    Just want to say, I appreciate @Matt and everyone I regularly interact with on this board. It's been a roller coaster this week, and I appreciate y'all for giving me an outlet and a sense that I wasn't the only one....I still don't know what the future holds for my April sailing...but I know this too, shall pass. When it does, I look forward to more joking, more debating, and more obsessing about my vacation.

    Travel insurance is not refunded.  Insurance policy coverage begins when you take out the policy as you had some cancellation coverage provided until the cruise was actually canceled.
    However,  you may be able to apply the travel insurance premium to a rebooked cruise.

    Good job Royal Caribbean!  I'm beyond pleased with how they handled this entire messy situation.  We will be able to make Diamond Plus a little quicker now.  ?

    I can tell you that since you're at Diamond, I wouldn't be that concerned with moving up. D+ is nice, but honestly once you hit Diamond, you reap the lion's share of C&A benefits.
