T2B2 Posted February 24, 2015 #303 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Here was one of the panoramic photos I took of the other ships out on the horizon as we started moving. It was nice to see all those we have heard for the last 30 hours. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We understand that this was not what our guests were expecting, and not what we said last night, and we share in their disappointment. Royal Caribbean International will provide each guest with a full refund of the cruise fare paid. Cruise fare refunds will automatically be processed back to original form of payment. Please allow four to six weeks for all transactions to be processed. Royal Caribbean would also like to provide these guests with the opportunity to sail with us again. We will be providing each guest with a future cruise certificate for 25% of the cruise fare paid for their February 23, 2015, Brilliance of the Seas sailing. This certificate may be used for a future cruise on any Royal Caribbean ship within the next year. Future cruise certificates will be mailed to your home address or travel agent within six to eight weeks.

I do feel for those who have waited patiently in port as well as the ones "stuck" on the ship. Safe travels for all heading home, the folks on the ship as well as the ones that were waiting in port.

T2B2 Posted February 24, 2015 #318 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I am so sorry for those who trip was just cancelled. We really wanted you to get out and still have some chance of vacation. Most of us getting off will be stuck in Tampa as we will be too late for flights. Maybe we can have one big block party to commiserate together on what shouldn't have been.

Again, we thank our guests for their ongoing patience and understanding throughout this unfortunate situation. I know weather is so unpredictable and this is a case where you can't fix broken, but it's possible some families are going to experience a big hit if they flew in for the cruise. Unless I'm missing something, their airfare is going to be a loss. It's not like the airlines are going to let a family rebook their flights free of charge. In fact, they've already flown half their trip. Now it will cost extra to return early. And then another fare to get back to Tampa for their discounted cruise. I have a question... if you purchase insurance through RCCL, does it cover any of the extra costs incurred or must you have purchased a special policy through the airline? I'm so sorry for all those who were waiting to board who will be going home today. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted February 24, 2015 #320 Share Posted February 24, 2015 So sorry to those who had their cruise cancelled. How disappointing, although of course, I do understand. I feel RCI's compensation was fair and in fact, generous. I'm so sorry you won't be cruising today. :(:(:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karena1 Posted February 24, 2015 #321 Share Posted February 24, 2015 So sorry for everyone that will miss their cruise. Mother Nature can be really nasty sometimes and this is one of them. Safe travels back home for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daghis Posted February 24, 2015 #324 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I have a question... if you purchase insurance through RCCL, does it cover any of the extra costs incurred or must you have purchased a special policy through the airline? Royal Caribbean recently changed their CruiseCare coverage so that it does not cover independently purchased air travel. Travel insurance from a third-party would be a better option to include the air portion of the trip as well as the cruise itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryano Posted February 24, 2015 #325 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) I cancelling my cruise out of Tampa for 2016. That may sound crazy to some of you but IMHO, there are too many other options to risk wasting a vacation. Ill pick a port that doesnt have these issues. Could something else come up elsewhere? Of course but Im gonna take that chance. While a nice gesture that they didnt have to do, a Future Cruise Credit that has to be used within a year is worthless to most people. :( So sorry for those that were looking forward to their cruise. :( Edited February 24, 2015 by ryano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
