You will also notice that if you are thinking of taking advantage of the “Cruise with confidence” cancelation, any cruise you book after the deadline of July 31, 2020 is priced at around 50-80% more expensive than the similar Royal Caribbean cruises in 2019. That way your cruise credit is worth a lot less if you want to use it for a like cruise later in the year or next year. For example the cruise I am booked on next month, should I take a cruise credit and book the same cruise next year, the price for the 2021 cruise is almost double. Once again, another example of Corporate greed. RC is the least generous of all the cruise lines. Most of the other lines have cancelled all of their cruises until May or June but not RC. They have been drip feeding their loyal customers with last minute cancellations. Their Cruise with confidence policy is full of small print which amounts to a rip off. Most cruise ports in Asia and South Pacific are closed yet you can still book these cruises from Australia. Then you get on and they tell you "Oh we can't go there now" I have been a loyal cruiser with RC but they have shown their true colors. Never again.!!

Yes. Better a half bottle of wine than an empty one. My feeling is that they will be cancelled. With the WHO announcing a Pandemic overnight and the numbers exploding all over the world, it's not going to clear up in a couple of weeks. Good luck.

It seems that RC are holding on until the very last minute to advise of cancelled cruises. Obviously this makes it very difficult for cruisers, especially one way cruises. I am booked on the Voyager from Sydney to Singapore in mid April, 2020. Do I book Motel Rooms in Singapore or flights back home??? If I do and RC cancels the cruise, I am out of pocket to the tune of several thousand dollars. Obviously they do not care. Surely they already know. They would have a contingency plan in place already. They will just be holding out long enough to secure future bookings with there new "Travel with confidence" policy before they announce cancellations. That way they secure future income and don't have to refund an entire ship load of passengers.
