    DDemuth got a reaction from Chadster in Refunds   
    We cancelled a July Mediterranean cruise on April 3.  Refund posted on our credit card on 4/24, but dated as issued on 4/19.  Ten business days.  We were told 7 - 10 business days; I guess we were fortunate given the experience of others here.
  3. Thanks
    DDemuth got a reaction from Lovetocruise2002 in Airfare   
    When we booked transatlantic flights, there were options for refundable and non-refundable fares.  My understanding is that RCI will refund a refundable fare upon cancellation but will send you to the appropriate airline for non-refundable fares.  In the latter case, it is the airline policy prevails.  That is how it was explained to us; don't know how widely applicable that will be to A2S fares in general.
    When we recently cancelled our summer Mediterranean cruise, the RCI agent looked up our A2S fares and included them in the refunded amount (cancellation occurred before final payment date).

    … and airplanes are flying petri dishes;  the subway is a rolling petri dish; and the Atalanta/Valencia Champions League game that contributed to the Italian and Spanish covid-19 explosions was a petri dish in a bowl.

    This is the cruise ship equivalent of doing donuts in the snow covered parking lot at school.  Can you envision the smile on the face of the Master as he skids through the open sea...

    If you are a Foodie, or interested in the local cuisine, check out Nicole's Table.  Excellent setting in a private home with great views, excellent food that everyone helps to prepare and rum punch.  Plenty of reviews online (e.g., TripAdvisor, etc), or just visit their web page (https://nicolestable.com/).

    I think even playing around that it's a conspiracy is dangerous and quite frankly, stupid. I've said this before but I still don't believe the media has blown this out of proportion. I live and work in the high concentrated areas and the misinformation I've gotten was largely from social media, not the news...unless it was an official who was speaking out of turn and had to be immediately corrected.

    Just what "difference" do you think that people will not discern?  The correct nomenclature is SARS-CoV-2 is the virus that is currently circulating across the world.  Covid-19 is the disease that SARS-CoV-2 causes (corona virus disease 2019).  That information has been publicly available for many weeks.  The genome sequences of literally hundreds of SARS-CoV-2 isolates have also been publicly available for many weeks and it is very clear that SARS-CoV-2 is most related to a bat coronavirus, even moreso that to its human relatives, SARS-CoV-1 and MERS corona viruses.  There is no conspiracy to cover up a genetically manipulated or weaponized virus (it is a p*** poor weapon if it kills only 3% of its targets).  The information is out there if you choose to look for it.

    DDemuth got a reaction from Kata in You Know It's Getting Bad When......   
    So at the local market this afternoon, I saw a customer pick an item from the shelf, read something on the label, then put it back.  A nearby customer went bonkers:  "you touched that!!!  You can't just put that back on the shelf!!"  I'm saying to myself, lady, you're the reason that there's no bread or  toilet paper left in the store....
    I didn't realize until now how similar shopping was to eating at the Windjammer.
