I think people are getting confused as there are other people on the same sailing also posting and people are confusing us and our posts of course I have insurance. My main issue was that I was told RC would refund in vouchers. Vouchers are no good to me. I live in UAE, there are not a lot of cruises with RC near my area. Insurance does not cover me if I get vouchers. I booked this cruise 4 years ago (and then it was lift and shift) Also, cancel for any reason insurance is only a US thing. I would have to fake a Covid positive diagnosis 2 days before the cruise for my insurance to kick in (for the record, my travel insurance is 2,000 USD a year). Fear not, I was able to cancel the cruise, they will allegedly refund me in 45 working days, and they put the cabin back on the website for double what I paid. So win win for Royal

Update. Sorry should have added: when I booked the cruise, we were living in the U.K. we now live in UAE. We spent the last few months between our home towns, so although we had the vaccine, our son did not (not eligible when we left). My son actually has Covid right now, which he caught on the 2 week Anthem cruise last week (I don’t know wether to laugh or cry..) We go back to UAE next week. The space between the first dose and second done is 3 months. Hence the issue.

Please someone help, as I am about to have a nervous breakdown. We paid a LOT of money for star call on the Wonder of the Seas Transantlatic. Everything is paid up. We have just received an email to say you need to be fully vaccinated from age 5 (it was 12). Our son is 10. There is no way, even if we wanted to, he would be fully vaccinated in 2 months. It says if he is not vaccinated, we will be denied boarding. How can I get our money back? and I mean actual money back, and not vouchers? It is a LOT of money, and I will never spend this kind of money again on a RC cruise (I booked it 4 years ago when I had a different job).
