    Okay!  I'll take the 125% FCC.  Now, it's time to SHOP!!  Suddenly, I'm not so depressed.

    Perspective is the word of the day. My cruise was a luxury. A break from life and the daily grind. It's a bummer I have to reschedule, and have to cancel my PTO request.....but ......I have an awesome family, I have my health, and....now.....I get to pick out, and plan another cruise to replace the one we just lost!  So....as upset we are at losing a vacation, and the hassle of canceling hotels and excursions and such....just ask yourself......

    The current rumor is 100% refund or 125% FCC, but we don't have any confirmation.

    My husband and I said the exact same thing.  We sail on the Oasis on April 5th.  Hopefully.....

    #1) the value of having a travel agent
    #2) I'd arrange to call back another time before ever waiting on hold for multiple hours.
    #3) it's very easy to accidentally disconnect a call that you pick up - I've done it myself without ever meaning to.  That's not poor customer service, that's simply human error.
    #4) they are insanely busy!  I can't believe people are judging them harshly during this cluster**** (choose your own word).

    Yeah, I was trying to log in from my work laptop and I think I've logged in so much to monitor things for the past few days, my employer's firewall blocked me or something.  LOL!
    I had no problems logging in from my personal laptop.
    Thanks everyone!

    We cancelled our cruise that was to sail March 22 on Oasis. We took the FCC and paid off our next cruise (Holiday Cruise) and about half of our Alaska cruise (July 2021). We were in a suite, so while being stuck in QT wouldn't be roughing it, the time commitment would not have been ideal. So, yes, we used our FCC for two cruises.

    We are scheduled to go on the Oasis on April 5th from Miami.  My husband and I decided last night that we are going REGARDLESS.
    Reasons:
    1. We booked this cruise last April 2019 and reserved a beautiful Crown Loft Suite.  The price a year ago was much more affordable for us than it would be now.  Even if we used the FCC, we would still not be able to book a comparable cruise for the price we received back in 2019.  If we want the same amenities on a later sailing, it would end up costing us more.
    2. This is our son's Spring Break and he is 17 years old.  How much more time we will get to spend with him before he's off doing his own life things and not wanting to spend his entire Spring Break cruising the Caribbean with mom and dad?  So here we have the "I don't care if we are quarantined for two weeks"....as long as I am with my family, it's all good.  I tend to make the best out of crappy situations so I know we would probably have a pretty good time.  LOL!
    3. We are fortunate to not be flying to Miami.  Instead, we are driving from North Carolina.
    4. We don't do buffets.  EVER.  (My rule)
    5. We are all under the age of 50 and healthy so I think if we were exposed to the virus, it would not be life threatening.  Of course, we would respect the quarantine if we were exposed.  I would never put innocent, healthy people at risk.
    I hope you are able to make your decision with what is right for you and your family.  The last time we were on the Oasis was in 2012 so I am very excited to see the new make over.

    I agree.  I wouldn't cancel either unless there is some kind of underlying health issue with either of you 
    There is so much to do on a cruise and you're on a big ship so you will be not be bored.
    I have been monitoring the blog and many people have posted after they've returned from their vacations, that no one is speaking of the "C" word on board.  Most people are just washing their hands a little longer and taking other precautions.
    We are sailing on April 5th so unless Royal Caribbean cancels on us, we will be there.
    Happy Honeymoon!

    The cruise industry is an easy target for the media at the moment. They are successful and enjoy a large following that is gaining popularity. Unlike the resort industry which is fixed in place and is rising in price to the level of only top tier clientele, the cruising industry has pricing for all tier levels and offers amenities for all tastes. Also cruising allows exploration to many different countries and cultures whereas a resort is usually exclusive and enclosed isolating the client from the outside to make sure you use only their services.
    As far as the attacks, the folks looking in only see the supposed large number of folks in a small area and assume a giant source of germ transfer. They do not see the large number of support staff cleaning, preparing meals, supervising, entertaining and basically pampering the guests. If you pull up a ship's statistics you see an inordinately large number of staff per guest. That said we have always enjoyed ourselves on cruises far more than the resorts we have visited and individual vacation trips and feel the cruise is best for us.
