I actually canceled on board the day of the excursion and they refunded me everything without penalty. This was in January of this year. 

It was available on a 7 night when we sailed last month. It was only open maybe two times, and we did not make it to try it out, but yes it was on the cruise planner. 

Ok apparently it’s more thank likely a glitch, 'Lorem ipsum‘ is a place holder text…just freaked me out a bit

Ok so this is my first RCC and I was checking in, under “biometric data policy” link it took me to this (see first photo) and thought hmm that’s weird it’s in Latin or something and no English translation? 
So, I translated it and it came back as this (see second photo) 
umm…is this a glitch? Has anyone noticed this?? So creepy! Maybe the translation is off but why is it in Latin in the first place?? 
The link for the biometric data policy appears after you take a photo. 
I emailed my TA the same for answers

I thought it would be worth it, but it often gets cancelled because, so few people book it. It was cancelled for me (Sept) and then a friend tried recently (Oct), and it was cancelled again.

Oh no ok, thanks for the heads up. Appreciate it! 

Can any one share their experience with this option? Our flight doesn’t depart until 415p…in the description it says “for domestic flights departing after 330”, so I think we’d be ok, and it beats hanging out at the airport all day. The transfer leaves at 845am and goes to sights around LA, description says 5 hours. Approx $175 for family of four, Is it worth it? 

Yes. The rep said my $1000 deposit was going to be refunded. Like I said I’m skeptical only because in the past they said it was only for future cruise credit but she literally said it would be refunded to original form of payment, so I’ll wait and see. Still have not received a cancellation email or anything confirming it but I did take down her name and will reference that call if I have any issues!

HI all,

I am hoping someone will have some insight/advice/ect into my situation.   My family and I are booked on a cruise for April 17th 2022. My 12 year old son is not vaccinated. We booked a non refundable deposit way back in 2019 and after several cancellations on ROYALS side due to COVID, we are now booked for this cruise an cannot go on it due to my sons vaccination status. I have found this "Royal Promise" document online (see link below) and the date only extends to  APRIL 14th 2020.  We are hoping that it gets extended so we can get a refund.  We have been checking daily.   Is there any other "COVID policies" that anyone could direct me to for my situation? We have about 1500 tied up in this cruise payment and we really want a refund.

We are waiting to see if they extend this policy but we have a feeling it will not be extended until AFTER our final payment is due which is on MARCH 18th...

Thanks in advance for any input on this. 

I can give some insight, going through similar situation. I actually got them to refund our $1000 deposit back when I called yesterday. I’m just a little skeptical because she said the refund will take 30-45 days to be put back into my account and was given no reference number or cancelation email, she just said I can call back with original booking number to track the refund. I was told to call this number 1-800-205-9812 and they agreed to refund due to similar vax situation for cruise I had booked for end of April. Best of luck to you hope it works for you as well.

Hey guys, I’m in the same situation. Have one booked for late April. I feel like I keep getting strung along “things can change by then we don’t know” so frustrating! My whole thing is if they don’t require boosters what is the point still enforcing the entire mandate? I mean someone who got their two shots last year has waned immunity right? I do know someone who has “insider” info who claims they are doing away with it after April 14th but I really don’t think that’s possible? Who knows…things are happening fast everywhere! Side note- I haven’t received any of these protocol updates, should I be?
