Reigert2008 Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 Received this email today for an upcoming cruise. At least it looks like the cruise is still going! "Dear Guest, Before we set off for adventure on our Explorer of the Seas <Date removed for privacy> cruise, we have a quick change to share with you. While we've been working around the clock to get our ships back to cruising, we've had to change how our guests are spaced out onboard to ensure proper social distancing. As a result, your original stateroom is no longer available. We're sorry for the last-minute change, but there's no need to worry. You'll be relocated to a like-for-like stateroom, and all your amenities will remain the same Please know, there's no action necessary on your part. Once the changes are finalized, an updated booking invoice reflecting your new details will be sent to you and your Travel Advisor via email. If you have any questions, please contact your Travel Advisor immediately or contact us at: 1 866 562 7625 in the U.S. or Canada 1 800 754 500 in Australia In the UK only, by using our webchat service or by calling 0344 493 4005 All other countries, please visit http://www.royalcaribbean.com/contactus for your local Royal Caribbean International office phone number. Thanks for your understanding. Next up: kick back, relax, and start counting the days until you set sail! See you soon!

twangster Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 Like other ships I imagine they are dedicating sections of the ship for isolation and quarantine purposes. Heard elsewhere they plan to voluntarily continue to follow the same guidelines beyond Oct. 31 even if the CSO isn't extended so for the next phase of restart ships they have to bring them inline with the sailing fleet. Other cruise lines are extending their policies for vaccination and pre-cruise testing. Wouldn't at all be surprised to learn Royal does as well.

AshleyDillo Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 I got one of these emails today for my Harmony Thanksgiving cruise I have a feeling Royal's definition of like-for-like will be much different than my mother's definition.

smokeybandit Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 If they're going to bump your room, you should get an auto upgrade, not a "like-for-like" cruisellama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had originally booked this as an Interior GTY, but then had to Lift and Shift it to 2021 and it would not let the TA keep the GTY, she was able to pick a room and it was price protected. In the end, we basically got the GTY we were originally trying to book Once we get a new room, I'll update. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
