Lovetocruise2002 Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 I cannot see this sailing on Royal's website anymore. Anyone know what might have happened to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know what might have happened to it? Good catch. I highly doubt it sold out. I think cruise lines are kind of backed against a corner right now... while the restart plans are great, all these other laws around mandating vaccines, banning vaccine information etc is just going to create more of a mess. At this point, I will be surprised to see any cruises sail from the US this summer. if they do, hooray! Lovetocruise2002 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 I heard this happened with Serenade's first sailing too. Not sure, but as I often have noticed, Royal's IT is usually to blame than anything else. Cruising With JT and Lovetocruise2002 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 With only a 10-day turnaround between the end of the test cruise and first revenue cruise, they may have been told that was too tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovetocruise2002 Posted June 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 The plot thickens, now every single 3 night sailing on Freedom is gone this summer except for the last Friday in August.... Cruising With JT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpa09 Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 I was one of those on Navigator departing August 13th and switched over to Freedom. It still shows on my cruises when I logon to Royal Caribbean. It could be possible that they are waiting until all the passengers are switched over and to see if any passengers opted to cancel the cruise for capacity purposes, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 According to CruisingPower, all of the Freedom early July bookings are closed. The first sailing showing availability is 23 July. Switching ships maybe ? Cruising With JT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowfish78 Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 I believe its because they are moving people over from the Navigator to the Freedom and don't want inventory to disappear before moving those on a cancelled sailing first.

Lovetocruise2002 Posted June 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 I think the cruise gods were against me because I started looking at it lol. It was still available mid morning. Boston Babe, WAAAYTOOO, Matt and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dswallow Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 Now all Freedom sailings are gone, except for the July 5th sailing, until the August 23 sailing. 7/2 went away about 5 hours ago. 7/9, 7/12, 7/16, 7/19 went away about 3 hours ago. 7/26, 7/30, 8/2, 8/6, 8/9, 8/13, 8/16, 8/20 went away about an hour ago. There's also some activity with Odyssey sailings being removed over the last 2 to 4 hours. Cruising With JT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chawkjewel Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 Same thing has happened to all of the Odyssey sailings. So sad. Cruising With JT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatorskin76 Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 Freedom 7/26 is back, but it appears like only interior guarantees and nothing for 4 passengers in a single stateroom. They are filling up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
