You have to have proof to get a refund per their policy: Quote To qualify for a refund or the FCC, if your COVID19 test was administered by a provider other than one retained by RCI, you must present your verified positive test result in a form acceptable to RCI. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/content/dam/royal/resources/pdf/covid-19-cancellations-and-refunds-policy.pdf WAAAYTOOO and Neesa 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser4Life Posted December 17, 2021 Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 It's gotten beyond out of hand. I'm sure we will be cancelling NYE sailing next week. I haven't heard from the Concierge yet, but we are definitely out if they are not selling tables on the Promenade like usual for the big party. There are plenty of places on land (especially here in Florida) where we can enjoy a festive NYE party so it's not worth it to pay over 10 grand for what it will probably look like on a cruise ship this year. So sad, another cruise down the drain. Ogilthorpe, jticarruthers, HBCcruiser and 5 others 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on last week and it was tough wearing it with my protocols I cannot imagine doing it in the casino, comedy club or dancing in the clubs! Maybe you can cancel since it is new protocol. I already decided after last week that I will never go on another cruise with a mask mandate. Neesa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodgestang Posted December 17, 2021 Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 They keep doing this bait and switch crap....first it was the mask free cruises over the summer that turned into masked up alot....now its masked up alot turned into masked up alot more. I'm just going to do the only thing that makes sense......always have a drink in my hand....even if I'm not drinking it.....once it gets warm and nasty....I'll get another.

Don’t let this nonsense ruin your trip. Read between the lines, you have an out regarding the mask wearing. Just literally carry a drink with you everywhere. It’s not a big deal and frankly makes no sense if everyone just took a Covid test multiple times before boarding.

Neesa Posted December 17, 2021 Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 OMG I was just going to post this @ChrisK2793 I am already in Ft Lauderdale and am not happy. I would have canceled in a heartbeat, this stinks!!! THIS IS WRONG!!! This is greedy BS they sent this last minute so they would have to refund less. Again, Royal wants your money if so bad cancel holiday sailings!!! wordell1, WAAAYTOOO and ChrisK2793 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrying a drink doesn’t work ……… on our October and November cruises if you walked inside around with a drink you weren’t drinking at the time and weren’t in a vaccinated only area they’d yell at you to put your mask on ……… now you even have to wear a mask in the vaccinated only areas unless ACTIVELY eating or drinking jticarruthers, Neesa, Jennifer Burke and 2 others 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the same, but we were supposed to get a $270 OBC and at the last minute told us that they refunded the amount to a random credit card that wasn't even my card! So yes, get something in writing!

I stuck to my guns and said no, that I wanted a cash refund because had they told me this yesterday before 48 hours instead of today, I would have cancelled under Cruise With Confidence.

Baked Alaska Posted December 17, 2021 Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 We received the same email from Royal for our Oasis NYE cruise. We are discussing this tonight. Agree with you that they should also have to honor that 48 hour window, as well. Granted the Fine Print blah blah blah. jeffmw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
