Royale Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Hi all. New here. I have a FOS cruise booked for 4 Oct - from what i have read it is very unlikely to happen which is fine. My question is do RC have any sort of trend of when they announce things like cancellations? For example do they announce once every two weeks...four weeks...etc. How far in advance am i likely to know the outcome? I need to know for work cover purposes. Any contact with the company results in "we don't know" The holiday is paid in full and was booked in Feb. crisgold52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 There is no real "rule" but they do seem to be trending towards monthly announcements of extension of their global suspensions. It certainly isn't anything you can take to the bank (sorry...bad analogy) but that seems to be the case recently. Now you're going to ask when, during the month, and I cannot answer that.

Royale Posted August 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Thanks for your reply. Its good to rule out once every 2 weeks cause im obsessively checking the sites haha! WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielB Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 My September cruise was cancelled on Friday July 17th. Again doesn't help much but if monthly then I would think next Friday August 14th. However there is a conference call for business update and second quarter on Monday August 10th at 10a. If I was a betting man (which I suck at gambling) I would think further cancellations would be announced during the call. Best of luck and here is to hope we can return to cruising sooner rather than later! WAAAYTOOO and crisgold52 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew72681 Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 I think the general rule has been so far that there’s only one definite, it’ll always come after final payment Jmccaffrey, cruisellama and ehw51 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royale Posted August 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Haha that was unexpected but also a relief! I think we will lift and shift to next year. May as well as it’s already paid for.

Mike Stephens Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Well, if they are starting with short cruises, I guess my Nov 9th 11 nighter on Lady G will officially be my 3rd cruise cancelled this year. 3 strikes, I'm out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First and only time I ever booked NRD but will probably cancel. Thinking I might make the final payment since I cannot see this cruise happening which should mean I get my NRD back. I know, I know, possibly throwing good money after bad but it doesn't seem possible that any cruise happens until 1Q21(at a minimum) with 98% of the crews spread out all over the world, to say nothing of the health protocols still not decided upon, CDC decision-making, etc., etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisellama Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Only a couple of pushbacks, but kinda trending as 2-3 months out. Maybe staying close to a 90 day window cycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crews need to be moved to the ports and reconstituted. Curious on the percentage of crew that might just hang it up because it becomes such a hassle. crisgold52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
