baltodave Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 We are being offered the 125% FCC for cruises booked by May 31, 2022 on cruises sailing by Dec 31, 2022 or a 100% refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Forlenza Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 Of course with some of these being canceled through April (granted that one is due to the ship going dry dock), it still has me worried about our upcoming trip. I remember almost getting an ulcer with the stress pending our November 2021 cruise, and I really don't want to go back to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best guess is to cancel these ship's sailings to bolster the amount of crew available to cycle on to existing sailings that need crew replenishment........ .........or maybe that's too many moving parts, i'm not sure. Just a theory PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many cases onboard = ports denying docking. Royal got around this at CocoCay by transferring sick crew onto vision. Shows being cancelled and venues closed because not enough crew. In my opinion, it IS mostly a crew issue. Yes passengers are testing but I believe the bulk of cases are crew. Without ports/shows/open venues, the ship cannot really offer what passengers are paying for. Plus I think the ship (Symphony) needs a breather. She needs time to collect herself.

gavin923 Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 We just landed in MIA for our Symphony Jan 8 sailing and received the cancellation email while waiting for our bags. On the phone with Air2Sea now trying to find a way back home. Fun times. Neesa, Pattycruise, whitsmom and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Curtis Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 We was on the 29 th of this month, this is our third cruise that’s been canceled, already canceled our ride to port and back, now need to work on motel and air, I’m not even going to try and call Royal today, will be a long wait, we are just going to get a refund this time., maybe try in the fall, guess we will be enjoying the cold and snow and the Ohio river views of Cincinnati from Northern Ky.

Temeculaguy Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Going on Liberty Sunday, leaving for the airport in the morning, this is going to be a nail biter! Worst case scenario they cancel after we land, we rent a car and spend some time in Texas until we either get an earlier flight back or our scheduled one happens. I like Texas. Might need to buy some warmer clothes as we are mostly packed for the Caribbean. Oh well, the wife likes shopping for clothes, I like BBQ, worse things happen to people every day.

Strife Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 This is the worst news I could have gotten. I already got the time off approved, I do not get paid vacations so I am losing out there and I lost out on my trip. I am thinking about just taking the refund and give up on cruising as I do not want to go through getting ready again just to get it canceled.

I guarantee it’s due to an excess of crew cases over Multiple ships. The crew and some of these ships need a reset/ breather to end the transmission cycle. We’ll be golden by March. Happy days are here again soon! Neesa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starbrat Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 I am trying to look on the bright side here. This varrient is highly contagious. it’s going to come in real quick and leave really quick. How long did it take for africa to go from restricted to non? That can give us some type of timeline. I’m at home positive with this varrient as I type. My husband and daughter both tested negative which blows my freaking mind. Hopefully it’s a quick in and out with this and we can get back to where we were. Here is to hoping! WAAAYTOOO and Yesiamthere 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starbrat Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 8 hours ago, BB1 said: Doubtful it's a crew issue. Most cases are asymptomatic or resolve shortly. Even with current guidelines they wouldn't be quarantined that long and some sailings are canceled through April. Just my guess. The canceled cruise through April is due to dry dock. The rest are not that long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLA Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Already rescheduled the cancelled sailing to Symphony over my birthday. Here’s hoping this variant is as short lived as speculated!
