Wow
I had no idea, and I must say; I believe I have violated this policy and never been charged.
Good information; thank you.
Any day you learn something new is a good day.
Of course you do, that’s a freight port you see
You see the same thing from port Everglades, Miami, and Galveston.
This doesn’t mean that cargo ships can dock and unload at cruise terminals; that is the point of the above post.
Lately I have not seen enough cost savings in the UDP to even fool with it. I book and pay for individual reservations in the CP, and then relax and don't worry about it.
And port fees are rarely refunded. The fees you pay are an estimate based on historical data. When the ports post their actual fees, they are often higher than you paid; when something is cancelled, those fees go to cover the shortage.
Let’s see, provide an example of a passenger demanding, and receiving a refund on their cruise, because the cruise stopped at an island that was on the FCDO advisory list.
I cannot provide an example of that, because IT DOES. NOT HAPPEN
Royal Caribbean does not operate under the purview of the British FCDO nor the ABTA.
I fail to see how you come to these conclusions regarding refunds, nor liability on the part of the cruise line.
Absolutely not. Travel insurance is not even a requirement, so how could an operator be liable for the invalidation of your policy? This is an issue strictly between the traveler and their insurer.
You will have no trouble getting a chef’s table reservation on board; and it will very likely be cheaper than booking pre cruise.
Many of my cruises recently they are practically begging people to book it.
So then, according to the post i originally reference; a travel operator would need to familiarize themselves with the travel policies of every client in order to prevent being complicit in negating policies and becoming liable for any claims that would have originally been handled by that policy????
Am I reading this right?
Are you saying Royal would be liable for any claims you may have due to your travel insurance being negated by a stop in a port on the FCDO "do not travel" list?
Royal cancelling stops does not mean Labadee is unsafe. Personal safety during a port stop was WAAAYYYYYY down the list in this decision making process.
Dining requests, regardless of ship, are handled by a centralized office. Email them, NO MORE than 2 weeks prior to embarkation with your ship, reservation number and request.
