I got it as well.  Very similar to Firefly.  It went to my spam as well.

Why not Lift and Shift to Sept/Oct 2021.  You don't have to wait until Royal cancels you can do it right now and retain your 2020 pricing. Your deposit will transfer and you can pay the balance this time next year. We have already done it for B2B Rhapsody cruises that were to go out of Venice in September 2020.

The reason we have not already Lift and Shift is that we already have a cruise during this time frame in 2021, along with Fall Break.

Pat

I have a cruise on Oct 24 on Rhapsody of the Seas out of Venice.  I would have to cancel by 7/25/2020 to get refunded the deposit or move my deposit to another sailing.  I keep waiting for Royal to announce it will not take place, so far not.  

Pat

Well darn!  My friend and I are each booked in  Studio Balcony (non obstructed) for 4/9/2021 and have been watching the progress from Day 1.  The 4/9/2021 is an 8 night sailing.  I cannot find any open non obstructed Studio Balcony through 4/9/22.  I will not be able to Lift and Switch

No

Thanks for the clarification.   We have not cancelled yet, but feel Royal will. 

Pat

My friend and I are currently booked on Rhapsody of the Seas 10/24/2020 out of Venice.  Next year, she and I are not able to go within 4 weeks of this cruise.  The only week we could lift and ***** to would be Sept 4.  Has anyone had any luck in shifting to one outside of the 4 weeks?

Pat

I did this trip with several family members 6/23/2017.  We flew in and took the train as well.  I wish my pictures were as good as Twangster though.  This was my second trip to Alaska, the first in 2015.   I am looking forward to your review.  We had the best time, and many of us are booked for Canada and New England in 2021 which we are looking forward to.

I understand your frustration, we have a cruise Scheduled on Rhapsody(from Venice)  Sept. 26, 2020, so final payment is due in two weeks, I just keep going back and forth on what to do.  I don't think there is much a chance of it sailing, I just keep wishing. 

I'm thinking about doing Lift and Shift. 

We are on the Oct 24th Rhapsody out of Venice.  We looked at lift and switch, but the 2021 Greek and Croatia did not have the same ports.  We are wait and watch right now.

Hi Pat - always interesting to come across a cruise critic name that I know from past sailings.  Is your Rhapsody cruise a European one that you have booked for this fall?  We were doing a transatlantic in November on Explorer from Rome but were able to do the lift & shift for next year on the Odyssey transatlantic.  Is it Kristin you are planning to cruise with this fall?  If so, hello to her from us.  Hope your plans or changing of plans works out.  By the way, thank you for all the info about your Baltic cruise.  We had a fantastic one last August - enjoyed every minute!!!  Ginny

Yes it is Kristin and I cruising again.  Glad you enjoyed the Baltic as we did.  This cruise goes out of Venice to Greece and Croatia.  Good to hear from you as well.

Pat

I am booked on the Rhapsody for Oct 24, 2020 with a friend from work.  We looked at the lift and switch, but between our schedules, the only one that would work would be Sept 4, 2021 which would be out of the 4 week window and is much more costly to change without the price protection.   We can cancel and get FCC, but would like the cash back as we are really unsure when we will cruise together again.  I really hate to pay in full, and also very hesitant about going to Italy in Oct.  

Pat

Can I change from a Western Caribbean in 2020 to a Western Caribbean with Perfect Day 2021?  

Pat

Looking forward to your review.  I lift and shif my Canada and New England cruise to next Sept on the Freedom.  

When doing a lift and shift, does the ship need to leave from the same port?  Example, booking for a cruise out of Miami and lift and shift to same itinerary, timeframe etc out of Ft. Lauderdale?

I went from Empress to Harmony😇 Hope I'm still alive in 2022 to take it😁

Can you lift and switch to 2022?  

One of my friends said they received a discount as she is a nurse.  I have never seen discount for nurses.

Has anyone who lifted and shifted a cruise and was told the new invoice would be available in 48 hours seen one with the lower price?  We did ours just about 48 hours ago and I've gone on as if I'm making a payment online to see what they show as the balance.  So far it is still the higher price.  Just wondering how long it has taken others to see the price go down.  

 

I received my updated invoice about 24 hours later and it was correct.  I booked over the phone with Royal.

I assume that was a typo:  You mean shift it to Sept 2021?

Theoretically, yes, but the OP ran into roadblocks.

Yes I meant 2021....... thanks for catching that.

Pat

Just want to clarify.  If I book a New England cruise tonight for Sept 2020, I can immediately shift it to Sept 2021?

Thanks for your help,

Was just in one of the solo rooms on the Harmony Nov 17.  My friend was in the room next door.  Neither of us were bothered by any noise nor smoke.  We were both happy with the size and layout of the room and would book again.

We had MTD on Harmony last week with 7:00 PM time.  The line was out the door everyday we went (we had 2 days specialty dining), but it did not take long for us to get seated.  I was irritated, and by the second day, I was done with it and did not return which is the first time for me.  The waiter asked us the first night if we had plans after dinner and we said yes, but not until 9:30 PM.  We were the last table for everything as he would comment this table has plans earlier than us etc.  I looked over it the first night.  The second night, we said we needed to be out by 9:00 PM.  I did not want to spend more than 2 hours in the dining room.  He was very unhappy and made it known.  This was my third time on Harmony, but I had Main Dining the other times.
