Desert Cruizers Posted December 12, 2018 #101 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Molly that is true but then I probably would have been given a choice with the Oasis or something similar. I really wanted to do the Southern Caribbean out of San Juan . I did get the 600 FCC so applied 300 each to the two Freedom sailings. The main thing, I am happy with my cruise choices Gay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price protected on a couple of Oasis sailings and OBC OR switch to any sailing at going rates and get the OBC. In both cases there would not have been the $100 per person penalty.

Desert Cruizers Posted December 13, 2018 #103 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Ken I won't disagree but my other concern was losing a good choice of rooms on the Freedom sailings. I still am not sure why after all the cruises I have booked for my husband & I, was why I chose the non refundable, I never do that with a hotel .

Two days ago, I happened to check our reservation with RCL and saw it now says 14 night Spanish Transatlantic. I figured it was a glitch and waited a day to see if it would clear itself up. A day later, it was still the same so I called Royal to see what the deal is. I was told that the ship has been redeployed, and I would be getting an email from them with my options. I'm thinking dry dock was changed to earlier? I just discovered this change today when i went in to do online checkin for our March 2019 Oasis cruise...I spent some time on hold as the agent seemed unaware of why I showed this transatlantic - finally coming back with the same response you got...an email will be forthcoming detailing our options. Could still be a week before contact is made. I am managing 4 cabins on this cruise as it was going to be family event... i see optionals with Oasis or Harmony on same date....so depends on pricing and if we are offered any compensation for this sudden change.

If they cancel this sailing they will offer you a few comparable price protected cruises around the same date and some OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mworkman Posted December 18, 2018 #110 Share Posted December 18, 2018 As i look at Allure's sailing..her last cruise before she heads east for a TA is Feb 23, 2020 and she doesn't have the next cruise posted until May 10, 2020..as i speculate she will begin her TA March 1, 2020 as previously posted with an arrival of 15 Mar 2020. It looks like she will be going straight into dry dock for her Amped features without sailing the summer first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted December 18, 2018 #111 Share Posted December 18, 2018 ^ she has to - she was launched in the spring of 2010 and there's little leeway in timing of dry dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCI may want to spare itself of the complaints and a lot of work could be done on the way to the yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much general change on that southern route in those month....🤔 Edited December 18, 2018 by Thorben-Hendrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mworkman Posted December 18, 2018 #117 Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) The biggest problem i seen is if she does cross in early March, there's no other ships to cruise the Mediterranean afterward that are RCCL. My plan went into the trashcan if she does that! Edited December 18, 2018 by mworkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’ll l be out of drydock just in time to sail the summer season in the med. not much difference in timing than other crossings in late April.

WyKnott Posted December 18, 2018 Author #121 Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) Sorry the email's out of order, still getting the hang of posting photos from an iPad. Since we really like the cabin location we'd chosen for Allure, I went online to see if any in the general location were available. For Oasis on the same date, even though cabins show as available, when I select a category, a message pops up that there's no cabins available, choose another one. For all cabins. I guess I'll have to call. Edited December 18, 2018 by WyKnott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyKnott Posted December 18, 2018 Author #125 Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) Success! We have the same cabin on Oasis, sailing the same week. Bummed to give up CocoCay, but we'll get there. And we saved almost $290 what with new discounts. Plus Oasis will be post-dry dock so there'll be upgrades.
