First Eddie Van Halen died today - now cruises cancelled again until 11/30/20. Time for a nap! Hang in there guys - I do think they may try short cruises in Dec, hoping, hoping, hoping (3-4 nights is my guess) Me from the Oasis sailing next to Celebrity Ship - see ya

I am thinking we will see them right at 5pm est. expected but still sad..

Have not see a Royal UP email come in for about 4 months, but you never know....

hate when planner stuff starts coming in your email as cancelled and you have no idea why! hope your TA figures it out

well for you its been a great program, and for many others - maybe they will bring it back in some form at a later date Maybe you will actually sail on Empress one day, lol.

Weird is they have announced Jewel for Copenhagen cruises - but not if clients will still do a TA on Adventure to Copenhagen, then transfer to the Jewel - would not be ideal for someone wanting a back-to-back

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

Probably not but you have to call in and tell them you got X cruise but now want to see if there are any options for that If you lifted though like 3 weeks ago -that could be different. But call and ask them for options.

oh my I'm kind of jealous of your list here!

great input and I agree - to not have to travel by airplane to get to a US port is a great point. I have always wanted to do the Columbia River and Mississippi

European river cruises are great - yes, pricey but I thought worth alot of what I paid for them. Some lines better than others but the excursions I really like and the pulling right up to a city, like Paris was amazing. Will do more of these in my future. You are right -ocean cruising has a better value for sure

Right I agree - I know the prices are higher but they are more inclusive - food is good - drinks (wine, beer) included - excursions like you said. I just think smaller ships could be more desirable to some in the future seeing as how if you are on a river cruise, that ports in a town everyday, then you could kick off anyone with flu systems and not have to keep sailing. Plus an excursion in New Orleans is always a good idea.

yes, and that is one thing most of them do not have, interesting thought though...

Just wanted to start a new discussion since its Friday --- IF Royal Caribbean starts to build River Boats either in Europe or USA (Mississippi River like Viking) would you sail on these? Thoughts? and what would it half to look like for you to consider it.

generally I have seen them move to same cabin on the new ship and price protect that (unless its lower) but with new rules weekly who knows
