jrey51 Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Has anyone had any luck getting exempted from the holiday blackout on Lift and Shift? Trying to move a Jan. 2, 2021 booking to Dec. 26th, 2022. Not trying to game the system or anything . Our same itinerary is only available on either Dec. 26th, or Jan. 9th. I have limited time off, so trying to work it so I still fly out on a stat holiday. RCL doesn't seem to be willing to budge though...wondering if anyone else has had more luck?

WannaCruise Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 We moved holiday to holiday (Dec 19, 2020 to Dec 24, 2021). But in your case, Dec 2022 isn't our yet so how can you move it? Baked Alaska and USCG Teacher 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunnyHutt Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 We also did holiday to holiday but they required a special exemption because we went from 8-nights to 7 (despite being same ship and ports of call). I had my TA work her magic to make that one happen. If you’ve tried and they’re not budging, you may be out of luck. Another option would be to transfer your current booking to a TA (I’m assuming it’s not with one right now?) and then see if they have any more luck due to leverage.

jrey51 Posted August 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 @WannaCruise whoops - that should have read Dec. 26, 2021. Got mixed up going January to December since it's the same calendar year still. WannaCruise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baked Alaska Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 If your original cruise was a Holiday (in the title), I wouldn't think you would have troubles. If your trying to shift to a Holiday cruise from a non-Holiday cruise, they will probably not let that happen. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
