I’m in the same boat! We are scheduled to cruise May 13th from Copenhagen. I am waiting for it to be cancelled so I can get the refund. ?

My family and I are booked on a cruise departing Copenhagen in May 13th. The travel agent my family booked through informed them today that the cruise was cancelled. I booked directly through Royal and haven’t received any info about a cancellation, and the cruise is still available to book online. I don’t know what to think!

I am experiencing exactly the same thing! I’ll be curious if you get an update.

I’m jumping on with a related question! My cruise on Jewel docks on a Saturday morning and is used as a hotel until Sunday when the cruise ends. I was told on the phone that I can leave the ship any time after we dock on Saturday; I asked because my flight home on Sunday is at 8am. Can anyone confirm that this has been their experience? I am a first time cruiser so I am not totally sure how the logistics work.

What is to stop someone from booking GTY for two people and having an intentional no show for the 2nd person?

Thank you @twangster and @WAAAYTOOO !! I just rebooked my cruise, added a guest, upgraded my room, and will end up saving $2600- some in FCC and some in cash refund. Hope my friend can make it!

I am curious if anyone has booked a guaranteed room for two people and experienced a "no-show" for one guest. I am seeing a cruise listing the GTY rate for two people as significantly lower than the single occupancy rate. If someone books the two-person GTY room, and one person can't make it on the day of, is the now-solo cruiser on the hook for the difference between the GTY rate and single occupancy rate? I understand there would not be a refund for the no show person, except taxes etc. Thanks for sharing your experience!

I have a May 13th cruise that I paid $5400 for fare, taxes, and gratuities for an interior room. I am a single cruiser. Now, it looks like one can purchase a "We choose your room" room at much lower rates. For example, I could now book a balcony room on the same cruise for about $3000. With the "Cruise with Confidence" it looks like I could get a FCC for my original booking, but would I be able to apply that FCC to re-booking the same cruise? The difference in prices is almost another whole vacation!
