jrapps Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) UPDATED: Original thread was about incorrect information given by RCL about the Wonder being cancelled Oct '21 to Jan '22. Thread being renamed for the one correct cancellation (Dec 4th 2021) Has anyone on this forum heard of the Wonder being cancelled for it's entire 2022 season out of Port Canaveral? I had an issue with my November 20th 2022 reservation and called today, and was told this decision was made back on Feb 15th and that I "should" have gotten an email by now. Was told all sailings from Oct 29th thru Jan 17th were cancelled. Options given to me were 100% FCC or full refund. No compensation. Still hoping it was all a big mistake (or dream! LOL) but wondering if anyone knows details if it is true? Edited March 17, 2022 by jrapps New Info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrapps Posted March 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 Yes. It seems weird to me. I am hoping that they were wrong, but I had 2 different people in 2 different departments tell me this. First I called the internet team because I had issues booking something in my planner, and they told me it was because my cruise was marked as cancelled. They then transferred me to a resolutions team who told me that all Wonder cruises out of Canaveral were cancelled. I want nothing more than to be WRONG about this and I myself won't really believe it until someone else confirms or I get an official email from Royal about it. Hoping someone else with a reservation, or a TA, calls and either confirms or is told all is OK. All that said, it wouldn't be the first time that Royal continued to sell cruises that they know to be cancelled. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
em.down.the.rabbit.hole Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 I'm on the 14 night transatlantic on 30th Oct and that's still open to taking final payment and all cruise planner items can be booked too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK6404 Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 I hope it's just a rumor... we got moved to Wonder from Harmony due to the redeployments... everything is still accessible and you can still book our 1/7/23 sailing... ... no changes on their site... you would think it would be updated quickly... https://www.royalcaribbean.com/cruise-ships/itinerary-updates WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy I’m on the 3rd sailing in case she indeed goes to Asia and the “maintenance” is to switch her back to her original Asian self. I hope not. 8 hours ago, jrapps said: Yes. It seems weird to me.

Interesting. I pray you are correct here. And for the record, it wasn't ME who mixed it up. I called into Royal, gave them my reservation number for my November sailing on the Wonder, and THEY told me it was cancelled, Not sure how they can make that big a screw up, but I will be happy to know it was in error. BTW, where do you see the Mariner is cancelled Nov-January. I see it is in dry dock in Jan/early feb 2023. It is still showing as for sale in Nov-Dec 2022 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a possibility that when itineraries were changed some bookings could have been cancelled and haven't been switched. I recall that this was originally Harmony's route but was moved to the Wonder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK6404 Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 FWIW... My TA called Royal and there is no change to our sailing (1/7/23). We also messaged Royal on FB last night... they just replied just now... same message, no changes... If anyone receives any formal notification, please share with the group!

Yolo16 Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 I believe it will be leaving from Barcelona Spain from September, I'm shipping out Sept 4th on a Western Meditterean, and I remember seeing dates for October and November, sorry.

jrapps Posted March 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 This is making me feel MUCH better. Hopefully I didn't cause anyone unnecessary stress....like Royal caused for me! I still can't fathom WHY Royal told me this yesterday. I'm going to go forward on the assumption that it was a really big error on their part until I hear otherwise. I still plan to call them back myself when I get a free hour with nothing better to do with my life than wait on hold..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 I think someone confused the original Asia cancellations that occurred from Nov. '22 to Jan. '23. At one point Wonder was assuming Allure TA back to America then her next available bookings were in Asia in November of 2022 through January 2023. The Asia season was cancelled and we later learned that Wonder was staying in Port Canaveral. jrapps, Mark_A, JohnK6404 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Templecruiser Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 Well not all lost. I was able to book a 1 bedroom ATS on Harmony for the 10th of December for a 8 day cruise for not much more then the GS I had on Wonder. I just won’t see the $44 drink package again, but will try.

Well that blows. None of the Wonder cruises have any GS left or adjoining rooms for my daughters family. Or I can go from a new Oasis class ship to one of the oldest and smallest ship on the Jewel with very little things to do for kids. What a slap in the face. We have over $13,000 in rooms booked and these are my only options. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbeyg Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 But they ARE going to waive penalties for moving to different sailing. Thought that was either poorly worded, or someone thought we would buy into that being a ‘benefit’. In all fairness, they will cover any flight change fees, so there is that. Option 2: Rebook any Royal Caribbean sailing. If you prefer to re-book a different sailing, we’ll waive any non-refundable deposit change fees associated with the move.
