This is exactly where my thinking is at. I'm fine with going, we need to be cautious but cannot live our lives in fear. And it just make spending more time in my cabin the cool thing to do. We normally hang out in there a lot anyway. We cruise for relaxation, we don't need to do much. I need the borders to open though.

All jokes aside, don't let this awful pandemic deter you from trying SC again in the future. It really is as wonderful as it seems, and then some. -

There is a running joke that SC service ends at the curb. ? -

We lost our Star class sailing too during the very first round of cancellations. We were due to sail March 15th. I just got my FCC/taxes/fees/cruise planner refund back last Monday 5/04. Almost two months! SC service does not apply when you're not on the ship lol -
Always TA the last few years. Thank goodness for her! I'm losing track and she is right on top of it lol. And correction, I actually have 4 double bookings. I forgot that I have Odyssey/Navigator booked for November right now. Navigator is supposed to be my Plan B if the inaugural falls through. See what I mean about losing track lol.

They can ? reprice a sold out room category. I always do this. The FCC though, that is another story. Look at your confirmation and see what the base fare is after you applied your FCC. If your price drop is lower than that, it should not be an issue. However, if not, then you might not have much luck.

^^^Yes! What he said! ?

Generally, as a rule of thumb, I never apply an FCC until final payment. Reason is that it affects re-pricing big time. In the past, when I apply an FCC, it changes the actual cruise fare paid, so when the price drops, it messes up the price drop because it will show that you paid less than the price drop itself. I'm not explaining it well at all but, yes, it is a big deal.

What happened to past FCC Used on Canceled Cruise?
Lovetocruise2002 replied to sparkers's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
We used $2034 of FCC on our cancelled March 15th sailing. We got that amount rolled back in a new FCC set to expire December 2021. -

Update from Royal on FCC and Refunds
Lovetocruise2002 replied to AnnetteJackson's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
After reading the last page of posts, I guess I should be grateful that my FCC is only short $352 lol...? This whole thing is getting crazy.... -
We are booked on Odyssey's inaugural and after the news this week, I have a bad feeling as well. That led me to do some looking (as I really do want to sail Odyssey sooner rather than later), and I ended up booking the 8 night on Odyssey 03/12/2021. Now, I did say to a friend yesterday that might be cancelled too depending on how long Odyssey gets delayed for but that is way too far off to predict right now. Fortunately for us, we are able to put down the deposit and hold it for now and as @Neesa said, let it play out. So at the moment, I am holding two bookings for that week in March. Allure (which I was originally booked for that week but now disappointed that she won't be amped) and Odyssey (in case that inaugural doesn't go through as planned). I am hoping that by December (final payment time) we will have a more clear picture of what this will look like. At the same time, I also grabbed the 8 night on Brilliance that you are talking about, but for July. I too have been wanting to head back the the Southern Caribbean and the July itinerary on Brilliance has St. Lucia as a port of call. This is also my Plan B in case I decide not to go the Norway GC. I have always been a book cruises way in advance person, but this is getting crazy. I am starting to lose track of all the Plan A, B, C, Ds that I am juggling at the moment lol.
