mattylew Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 My wife and I booked a cruise with RC for June 21 on the Harmony of the Seas. With cruising being halted until Jun 11, does anyone know the likelihood of this cruise actually happening? RCIfan1912 and Neesa 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neesa Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 @mattylew we are in the same boat (ship) pun intended. We are scheduled to board 28 June 20. I am feeling 99 % we are not going. That being said we are waiting for Royal to cancel so we can use the 125% on a future sailing. I would love to go and will go if they sail, but not feeling all that confident. Since I can't control it I am just trying to let it go and roll with it. Fingers crossed the mitigation is enough for the cdc to lift no sail order and we sail, but that seems to be the sticking point. Sailing out of Florida I think helps a bit.

rjac Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 There's an interesting discussion in the Rumors section talking about hiring experienced crew members. I'm thinking, Royal may be hard pressed to get experienced crew members back on board. I mean, how long does it take to train these fantastic employees?

Even with stay at home orders being loosened in some states, there doesn’t seem to be any government pressure to get the cruise industry going again. If you have your eyes on a cruise later in the year and don’t want to wait for the possibility of an extra 25% FCCyou could use the cruise with confidence program to cancel that june cruise.

I doubt the CDC is going to be allowing ships to dock and offload passengers anytime soon. Last I read, RCL & CCL can't even get their crews offloaded. Getting fresh crews back on is going to be a nightmare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 16 hours ago, mattylew said: does anyone know the likelihood of this cruise actually happening? Unfortunately, no one really knows. It's a decision made by RC and thus far, I've had no way of knowing what to expect. The only indicator out there that gives a hint of what to expect is if one of the other major cruise lines (Carnival or NCL) cancels more sailings before Royal Caribbean does. Usually, the big three match each other one way or another. Neesa, DunkelBierJay, RCIDreamer96 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob&Ana Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 So Royal is still trying to get crew members that have been on ships for months back to their countries.....With all the world wide travel restrictions I can't how they will be able to get new crew members back to the ships for end of June or even July. Plus the US have a 14 day mandatory quarantine on anyone arriving....would they be allowed to do this quarantine on the ship or do they have to do this on land before boarding.... Can't imagine anything happening this summer.... shaydav19 and RCIfan1912 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Muster Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Supposed to be on Oasis June 27th out of New Jersey. I've got my fingers crossed but won't be totally surprised if it does not sail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Considering the CDC no sail date is July 24th, I would plan to be waiting on a refund. There is now a highly mutated strain that doubles down...you can get it twice or more. RCIfan1912 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ampurp85 Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 @marti314 Lol I am not out reading boards looking for conspiracy theories. This is the course that all viruses take, they mutate and adapt. Become resistant to certain things and acerbated by others. I should have added things don't look great in the next 60 days given....
