Ok they announced it at 4:00 today, they must have seen my prediction and wanted to beat me to it! ?

Royal Caribbean almost always announces at the end of the day. I would expect it between 4:30 or 5:00 today or tomorrow, but for sure December will be cancelled. They have to do so much before they can allow guests onboard.

I'm trying to figure out the definitive answer on this now- because if it's at the prevailing rates it might not work out for everyone.

We have two Emilys but I'm sure that can be arranged. Neesa's agent loves champagne and Sauvignon blanc though.

She likes champagne. Or Sauvignon blanc.

Pooch- send an email to [email protected] and that will go to Beci and staff. I'm sure it will be appreciated!

Just to start emphatically state they should not plan on purchasing you a cabin gift. I want my MEI guru to keep ALL of the tiny stipend she receives for my booking. Inquire if and when they are sailing and then call RCCL and purchase her a surprise gift if possible, a bottle of champagne perhaps? 
I am sure though recommendations of their outstanding services and warm assistance to your friends and family for future bookings would be appreciated all the more. 

Probably because the Caribbean islands don't necessarily want to open their borders to tens of thousands of travellers coming through - and likely bringing Corona Virus with them.  They do not have the capacity in their health care systems to deal with a significant outbreak on the islands.   Just a thought?
 

I don't think so- I've never seen it. 
 
Remember it's sometime that week, not necessarily on the date it has on the flyer- typically it's on the Wednesday of that week, but it could be any time.

SO you can use (1) FCC per cruise so if you will have $160 left over after you sail then I would hold on to that $160 if you can.  They "may" have to extend some of these so you might get more choices once the rest of 2022 is released, but you may not - so that would mean sailing on something by April 2022 but redeeming the $160 by 12/31/21

Because of this deal, the mom and I booked an 8-night in Sept '21 in a GS.
Thanks to the double (double) points, we'll literally double our current amount and be 1 Suite 7-night away from Diamond. ^_^ and here we thought it would take us FOREVER to get there!

I think most cruises will qualify at this point, no matter the discount. You're correct, @Lovetocruise2002, because they kept changing things so often the first couple of days no one was sure. But David I think yours will qualify!

You will get assigned a cabin in your same category or higher- if you have a preference on Explorer you can let your travel agent know or call in directly after you're officially moved. It will likely take a couple of days to get you moved, they have a lot to move!

How I'm reading it is if you have a special rate that's not just their regular rates you don't get the double points. So if you're in a group but not paying group rates you will still get the points. Sometimes we can add people to groups even at FIT prices because there are bonuses (OBC for example) so I believe those count.
And it's not double points for everything- it's double for most rooms, but suites are 3 points per night not 4.

I believe it's 3 points per night for these.

Oh yeah it's changing all the time! They'll settle it in a day or two!
