I think once they get the sick crew members off they need to give it a huge deep clean.. Then It will come back to South Florida in November as planned.. I don't like to upset people but I don't think Oasis will sail out of NJ this year. I really do believe its going to be Florida and Galveston until next year.. I think they are just too strict in NY and NJ..

I have no doubt if ships leave from Miami and Port Canaveral they will also leave from Ft. Lauderdale.. Remember Celebrities new fancy terminal for Edge and Apex is in Ft. Lauderdale

Actually the CDC order expires July 24

I currently have a Symphony July 25.. I am hoping Royal opens July 24 the day the CDC order ends but if not I will have to move it to Labor Day weekend and just hope there is no hurricane... I still have an FCC from hurricane Dorian from last year lol.. But I am just happy there looks to be light at the end of the tunnel and I am ready for cruises to resume!!!

I think Royal will sail July 24.. But could be Aug 1.. But like I said I think it will be from Florida and Texas.. I don't see any NY or NJ happening right away..

I don't think June.. I think July 24 which is when the CDC order is over..

Notice they don't say Symphony, Navigator, Mariner, or Indy will be taking crew home.. My theory and others believe that those are the ships that will sail first.. Which makes sense because all leave from Florida... My prediction is Royal will be able to have some ships sail starting July 24 the day the CDC no sail order is lifted.. Navigator and Mariner can leave first on the 24.. Symphony can leave on the 25th and so can Indy... I am sure Harmony would also be in the mix and leave on the 26.. Just a prediction but that's what I think..

I hope I am getting off when you are getting on. I am suppose to be on Symphony on July 25th.

I hope so too. My next cruise is Symphony on July 25.. I am hoping it goes.. I know the CDC order goes to July 24 so I am hoping Symphony will be one of the first to sail on the 25th!!!

That would be wonderful. I really do hope for your sake it does. I know you have been planning your cruise for a very long time. I am going to cross my fingers for you that it happens.. Actually when I made my statement above I kind of forgot Europe lol. I was more thinking I don't think Alaska, Canada New England, or ships leaving from New Jersey or Boston will be able to leave for a while. I Think they are just too strict up there.. I see so many people on these boards hoping for Oasis to leave from Jersey and I hope for those people's sake it does but my friends live in NYC and I am just not sure about Oasis from NJ this year... But I do hope your cruise will happen in Greenland and Iceland!!

NCL made this announcement Last Week... I have a strong Feeling Royal and all cruise lines will Resume sailings on July 24 when the CDC order is lifted.. And I honestly think only cruises out of Florida will happen at first... Even Vicki Freed said not all cruises will resume at once and I just think cruises from Florida that go to Caribbean and Bahamas will start first..

There are 2 things I like about this.. #1 if it means getting to watch the Muster video in my room then yippie!! #2.. This trademark and the one Matt posted makes me hopeful Royal is getting ready to actually sail again soon. Boy do I hope They start sailing in July so I can go on my cruise lol..

So I live about 15 min from Port Everglades and I obviously stay home as much as possible but here is where I think we have a problem. Florida was really behind in the testing game and we are now trying to catch up. I personally think that's why our numbers keep going up and up because our hospitalization is starting to plateau. I actually think cruising could resume mid July if cruise lines put the proper protocol in place.. I happen to have a cruise booked for end of July and hope to go but at this point who knows. If cruise lines resume and let me I am def going. I am not scared. I know the risks and willing to take them but I respect anyone who is afraid and does not want to go now. My feeling is our government won't allow cruises to resume until they feel its safe enough so once they give the OK I am willing to take the gamble. Will that be in July? I have no idea but I hope so. But like I said anyone who is nervous or doesn't want to go I totally get it I just know for me as soon as cruise lines reopen I am planning on going as well.

I live in South Florida and I am a big Disney Fan.. Disney has made NO announcement that they are not reopening until next year.. In fact the president of Disney Parks is on the Governor's task force along with the President for universal studios on how to RE Open their parks.. That article is pure speculation.. Also it pertains more to Disneyland because their governor is being far more strict than Florida's.. I could see Disney being open July 1 along with cruise lines.. I know Royal said June 11 but I kind of think Cruising won't open until about July 14... Anyway back to Disney if I hear any official Disney announcements I will post but like I said I think they are trying to open in July..

Sorry but that's Disney LAND.. In California... Not in Orlando.. Disney World in Orlando is still planning to open this year.

Just so you know we all on this site are very well aware of the potential "dangers" of booking now. This is a fan site so if all you want to do is be negative your barking up the wrong tree..

Very cool.. I also have a Symphony cruise Late July but that one is $65 I wonder how they decide which cruises to discount..

That is extremely frustrating.. I am not out 6k but for the 4 cruises they canceled I am out about 1,500.. I am still waiting for taxes and fees from my March cruise they canceled. I called today and the Rep told me honestly it could be another 30-60 days before I see just the taxes and fees. I don't think there is anything anyone can do.. They claim its because they have to manually go in and fix the refunds.. Is that true? I have no idea. But I Love cruising so I just keep giving them more money and book more cruises.. I feel like there is nothing anyone can do they just keep giving the same answer.. Now I guess if another 60 days do go by I can call my credit card company and force the issue but I am not really sure what else could be done. I am so sorry you are in this position. Personally I am frustrated that I cant move my taxes and fees over to new reservations. They said if it wasn't during the pandemic with mass cancelations then it would be no problem and I could do that which leads me to think they just want to A hold my money as long as possible and B Need me to give them more money to stay afloat.. But since I love cruising and Royal I keep giving them more money.. I wish I knew what to tell you. Hang in there and hope for the best.

Symphony Thanksgiving is at $49 for deluxe drink package.. I haven't seen $49 for Symphony for over a year.

With all due respect Yes is is worth it to me. I feel if the cruise lines actually implement all of the plans they say they will implement then I do believe in July out of Florida it will be safe to sail. And to me it is worth the gamble. I LOVE cruises more than anything and I believe if cruise lines actually do all the health screening and require people to wear gloves and masks that its safe to go. If cruise lines aren't willing to make proper changes then No it won't be safe.. But the cruise lines know they cant screw it up again they are going to follow their own policies and procedures to the letter. As long as they do that I am going. I respect that you don't think its safe but I am willing to take the gamble. Some people agree with me and some people don't its all a matter of personal choice.

I also have anxiety. major anxiety.. I honestly think you are making a mistake booking Oasis on June 21... My friends live in NYC. I honestly cant imagine NY and NJ allowing cruise ships to leave at all this year from their ports. I honestly only think Florida will be having ships leave this year.. Please know that I say this hoping and praying for cruises. I am dying for them to open and I hope I am wrong about NY and NJ but I really really think considering your anxiety its a mistake and I say this with kindness and respect please don't take it the wrong way. Are there any Florida cruises that would work for you? I honestly think its your best bet.. I am also taking a gamble and have a cruise booked for the end of July but mine leaves from Florida..

As I said in my above post my feelings are not factual based just personal gut feelings.. I feel that way because I think logistically I cant see them being able to open in Europe. Too many ports that cant open. Plus to deploy ships to Europe for like 1 or 2 months I cant see them wanting to do that. I could be totally wrong my feelings aren't factual but I see Carnival Canceling Europe and I just think Royal might too

Do you have any knowledge that the 3 night Navigator and 4 night Indy cruises to The Bahamas would also come back with Oasis Class Ships? I would think 3/4 nighters out of Florida would also start up in July but I have no clue what Royal will do lol.

I have a feeling they will do one more round of cancelations and I think cruises will really resume July 14.. I have no proof of this just a feeling based on the CDC order. I honestly think they didn't extend it until that date because they cant afford to give 2 months worth of refunds. I also think cruises out of Florida will open First.. I cant see NJ, Alaska, or Europe opening this year. Again I have no factual proof of this its just a feeling. I do hope cruises open by July. I am dying to go and I have a cruise booked for the end of July so I do hope it happens.

If its Mid to Late July I wonder why Carnival only paused sailings until June 27th? What is the point of that? Shouldn't they of just made it sometime in July?
