Kata Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Royal Caribbean cancel cruises for the next 30 days in the US. My cruise is April 12, Transatlantic. We are right in the time frame VACruiser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mljstr Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 I am supposed to be on the same cruise. If you check the website, it is no longer listed. Have you checked your flight home from London? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Queen 44 * Diamond Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 We were April 5th. I'm so bummed. I'm hoping we can still get a FCC at least. I do have travel insurance but it's worthless I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in the process of canceling everything hotels, flights etc. I talked to Royal representative and she told me they can't cancel the reservation, that I will get a notification.

25yrannfamtrip Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Our cruise is for this coming week and we have not received any notice. Are you sure? And does this apply to all cruises are just from certain ports? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mljstr Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 @Kata We finally got our hotel in London to refund our stay although it hasn't shown up on our CC yet. However, so far, Norwegian Air won't let us cancel and get a refund. I hate to say I hope they have to cancel our flight for lack of passengers and then we MIGHT get that back-and it is considerable.$$$$ Our daughter was in Prague and had to get back in a hurry and the airlines were gouging the tickets. Her plane was half empty but she paid a fortune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Va4fam Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 I had a feeling this was coming. Not sure they had much choice.

Mljstr Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 @Kata I am on hold now. I guess we will see what the agent says.

Mljstr Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 @Chadster @Kata I tried to fill out an online form for a refund for the April 12 cruise and it isn't included.

The UK is full of coronavirus, the airlines are cancelling flights right and left, the Americans are running like rats off a sinking ship, events are canceled and RCCL is still going there?

cheby Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Friday, March 13, President Donald Trump tweeted major cruise lines have agreed to postpone new trips. "At my request, effective midnight tonight, Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, and MSC have all agreed to suspend outbound cruises for thirty days,' he wrote. "It is a great and important industry – it will be kept that way!" That is what was posted I guess Royal Caribbean can't count or maybe it was fake news I was told my cruise of 4/12 was cancelled as it fell in the 30 day pause that Trump talked about. https://www.theverge.com/2020/3/13/21179109/royal-caribbean-cruise-suspension-coronavirus-covid-19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mljstr Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 I realize that but I prefer a refund. We’ve already lost money on nonrefundable air from UK. I am going to hold out hoping it will still be canceled at a later date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like I'd likely be wading into a tough situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the rep said it’s definitely not canceled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
