Exile

No other dates offered unfortunately. I chose the prior week as it was running the same schedule as the cancelled one and the room I was in was still available. That meant I could preserve the back to back, but do it a week earlier. Never mind, thanks for help guys.

Thanks all. Just to clarify, the holiday was so far out, I'd only paid a deposit which they are refunding, so I don't have a problem with that piece. Also, I'm sure it's pretty complicated to run a cruise line and things change. I understand Oasis is heading over to Europe earlier than previously planned that year? Still fine. I guess a schedule change is not normally an issue because you'd rebook some other time; it was the back to back and only the one week being cancelled that has complicated this in truth. Definitely a lesson in pricing too, I was surprised at that level of difference within 2 weeks of sailing.

Hi all, New poster here. Can any of you experienced cruisers tell me whether my situation is just something that happens or whether I've been treated a little roughly by RC? I had a back to back Caribbean booked Apr 14 - Apr 28 2024 on Oasis in same room. Yesterday RC email me saying they've cancelled the Apr 21-28 week due to itinerary change and I'd need to rebook or cancel. Trouble is, as it was a back to back, it wasn't quite so easy as that. Very luckily, Oasis was sailing the cancelled route the week before on Apr 7th and the same room was available ! I quickly phoned up RC to sort all this out and after 45 minutes they kindly offered me the slot which would mean the only change would be I'd be having my holiday a week earlier. The catch? They wanted £6,000 more. For reference the room was an Aquatheatre. Have I missed something? They totally refused to price match or even adjust the new price by even £1. Is this how RC normally operate that they can just ruin a holiday and then extort you to put it right? Has really impacted my impression of them as I'm on my first ever RC cruise in 2023. Unless it gets cancelled ! Really interested in whether this is a cruise industry thing, an RC thing or maybe people don't think it's a big deal? I'm talking about the price difference rather than the change in schedules which probably happens all the time.
