DMarie Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) I got an email from Royal Caribbean today that states, their sailing for Jan 29th in Symphony out of Miami. Email says that, we have a quick change to share with you. Started off light and fluffy till I heard the change. It says, based on recent updates to our healthy to return service guidelines we have had to change how our guests are spaced out onboard to ensure proper distancing and your stateroom is no longer available. We are sorry for this last minute change but no need to worry. U will be relocated to a like-to-like stateroom. To help make up for this change you will be given $100 USD to spend onboard. When I called tonight I was told they were just given the information today and no rooms have yet been changed on current reservations as of yet, however they are expected to be made in 5-7 days. They have no other information at this time. They are no longer taking reservations for this cruise and no changes (upgrades) to the rooms can be made at this time. However, when u get your new room u can possibly make changes at that time. What a mess they have figuring it all out. I think more people will be canceling because of this.

Matt Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 They've been doing this on many sailings for months, even before Omicron. Basically, spreading out rooms for various purposes of social distancing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would people cancel if getting a like to like stateroom? Maybe if they were getting downgraded I would like to get this email. Getting the same stateroom and $100USD on-board credit? Yes please. This also likely means a limited capacity sailing which I would also be happy to hear! ChessE4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveling Mike Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 I have a GTY cabin on Feb 6 sailing. You think they would give me $100 to move me . Maybe they will have to put me in a Suite to make space ChessE4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisMA81 Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 I'm on that sailing too. I have an inside room and haven't got that email yet. I put in a Royal Up bid for a balcony. I hope I have a better chance since they aren't taking anymore passengers. I think it could be fun sailing with 4,000 or less on a big ship.

Maybe if they were getting downgraded I could maybe understand considering cancellation if the room was in a location that really inconveniences the cruiser. Like maybe someone got a room closer to the elevators cuz they can't walk far and they get moved all the way to the front or back. Or like being dropped/ raised several decks? Still...I could only see considering canceling...not actually going through with it for a like-for-like room.... WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
