I know they probably wouldn’t do it, but if they offered C&A points...

Free cruise + C&A points = sign me up! 👍

I had the same issue. I was told by Royal boarding docs are not accessible until 45 days prior to the cruise. I’m a few days away from 45 days so I will try again then. 

Makes sense since there will be a lot of changes forthcoming.  My travel agent mentioned they were told in a Royal Caribbean webinar that is was 30 days, so who knows. 🤷‍♂️

I am hoping we will sail, but I am really starting to think January is a no go.  So I ended up booking a B2B on the Mariner in December ‘21.  It’s amazing how ridiculous pricing has gotten for suites, if there is even availability.

You are right!   I just tried to do check in for my December and January sailings and both say Sorry currently unavailable.    

I wonder when we are going to hear from RCL.   Hopefully early this coming week. 

I agree!  The sooner the better.  I would like to rebook before the rates get ridiculous, especially as to not miss out on the double points offer.  Just as an example about rates, I booked an inside guarantee on the Brilliance of the Seas for Feb 25, 2021 in an inside guarantee for $450, now that same sailing and category is $1650!

Any one else having this issue?

I have a B2B on the Mariner (18th-25th), and last week I was able to start the check in process, then I came back on Friday to finish the one and start the second, but it tells me that check-in is no longer available for both.  I tried Friday, Saturday and today, no change.

Has anyone else noticed that check in is no longer working for January?  I have that B2B on the Mariner (18th-25th), and last week I was able to start the check in process and I came back on Friday to finish the one and start the second, but it tells me that check-in is no longer available for both.  I tried Friday, Saturday and today, no change.

We are also booked on the Quantum in September,  the 13th and the 20th.

Awesome!  We are on the sailing leaving on the 27th, in what is currently the Spa Junior Suite, but reclassified as just a Junior Suite when it comes over to the US. 👍  My wife and I have never been on an Alaska cruise, so we are really excited.  Of all the cruises we have booked next year, this is THE ONE we don’t want cancelled.

From Harr Travel (youtube.com).  Starts talking about the deployment schedule at the 2:35 mark.

They state, and seem to think that the deployment dates will be into 2023.  They seem to be well regarded by RCL, so maybe they know something others don't? 🤷‍♂️

Assuming none of my cruises cancel, I will go from Gold to Diamond by September 2021.  I have five booked, but four have me worried. The four that worry me are a B2B on the Mariner in January, Brilliance in February (rate is so ridiculously low I hope they don't bump me off due to capacity restrictions, assuming they implement them), and an Alaska cruise on the Quantum in September.

Sorry, I didn't hyperlink it in the post...

I would imagine since the CDC just lifted the no-sail order, a lot of things will have to be figured out, including this.  I would hope they would have a definitive answer by the end of November.  But I do hope they will allow it without a huge amount of inconvenience, as I have a B2B on the Mariner of the Seas in January.

Hello all, new to the forums.

I looked through a bunch of pages on this topic but I didn't see it, so forgive me if it has been posted.  With the double point offer, there is a FAQ they posted when it went live, but you have to search for it, as it is not linked anywhere on their site, at least that I had been able to find.
