bobroo Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 So, I just read from a reliable news source that there may be more cancellations coming soon: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2020/04/15/expect-possible-decision-more-royal-caribbean-cruise-cancellations-week Is this telling me to book any ol' room on a cruise I just know is about to be cancelled; just so I can take advantage of the 25% of the 125% FCC?

princevaliantus Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 I would just ask that the speculation of RCCL filing bankruptcy or such topic thereof, just stop. It just creates more unecessary issues and even more misinformation. Ogilthorpe, USFFrank, Neesa and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airlines, auto manufacturers, hotel chains, oil companies and on and on. The length of the list will stun you. it’s not creating more issues by mentioning the possibility, it’s a very valid piece of information one should take into consideration when choosing a FCC versus a refund.

But why would you bring up such a topic knowing that there are individuals out there who are now having financial difficulty. This topic only will upset them even more if they are waiting for a refund. It's just common sense and having consideration for those who are going through financial difficulties especially when you do not have proof that RCCL is filing bankruptcy. Why bother even bringing up the topic unless you like feeding off of or like getting your thrills from others misfortunes. Have a heart.

I was replying to a poster they was considering purchasing a cruise they know will be cancelled just for the extra 25% value in the FCC, I am of the belief this person is doing OK financially. Knowledge of all possibilities is a public service, sticking your head in the sand and pretending everything is rosy helps no one regardless of their current economic situation. You know nothing of me, or of my heart. Insinuating nefarious intent is uncalled for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cile Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 I think everybody should be realistic at this time. We all love to cruise but we have to see what is going on in the world and here with virus. And make rational decision .

Personal, I'd only flip it to an existing sailing, not purchase something in the hopes for a future value that may or may not be worth a "25% credit" given cruise price fluctuations. Plus interest free loan, yuck! KWofPerth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not in the situation of having a cruise booked, but if I did I'd take the refund ahead of the 125% FCC in a heartbeat. And I certainly wouldn't be booking and paying solely for the purpose of obtaining a 125% FCC when the future remains so uncertain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a prudent course of action to take, in the very real event of things going bad for RCCL. We all hope that doesn't happen of course!
