Beachammo Posted February 23, 2018 #1533 Share Posted February 23, 2018 What is Royal price protection?When Royal cancels a cruise they usually give price protection on a replacement Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted February 23, 2018 #1534 Share Posted February 23, 2018 When Royal cancels a cruise they usually give price protection on a replacement Which means they will let you book the same category stateroom (should any still be available) on a very small number of selected alternate cruises for the same price as you had on the cancelled cruise.

Thank you both for your explanation. I do hope this works out for our group. We weren't planning on cruising at this time but couldn't say no to the price + itinerary. Looking at alternative sailings, they not only are several hundred dollars more, but the itinerary is less desirable (to me). If the price was still right, maybe those other itineraries would be more attractive. Do they generally offer same types of cruises? --i.e. a Transatlantic for a cancelled Transatlantic?

When Vision Repo canceled I only had one choice, Serenade Repo. Got very lucky, acted quick when found out at 2am on CC and was able to go from corner Aft Jr suite to a corner Aft Jr Suite. Price protection saved me over $700 also got very generous OBC. Sure won't ever get this lucky again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucasLounger1 Posted February 23, 2018 #1545 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Hmmm. So much to consider. Since Jewel is still sailing from Rome on May 11th, what is the supposition as to where it's arriving from? I really wanted to disembark in Rome. Wonder if they'll offer the Serenade TA. That might console me a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure won't ever get this lucky again... I have 9256 on Jewel. No Aft's on Oasis. If I booked a D6 on Oasis it would be £700 more expensive. It's only £75 deposit, so wouldn't be much of a hit There is a couple Aft's on Vision but a lot more expensive and it's 17 days. O' is 14 days, same as Jewel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADflyer Posted February 24, 2018 #1547 Share Posted February 24, 2018 If the closing of sailings for Jewel from San Juan is in fact a re-deployment, my guess would be the ship would sail to Dubai for a winter season in 2019 and then still sail from Europe for the summer season. I have found no port bookings to support this yet, though. I just know that UAE ports have been very aggressively giving incentives to attract more capacity. This could make it worthwhile to redeploy a ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
