islandwannabee Posted March 15, 2020 Author #3 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Ship is a little less than half full. Didn’t say about refund yet. Suppose to be letter coming in our room later today. He did come back on and say Nassau is letting us dock tomorrow for the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voyager70 Posted March 15, 2020 #5 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Wow that sucks. But not surprising. Take your refund and book another one after this settles down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is serenade only RCCL ship to turn around If there isn't any illness on board why can't the ship simply cruise around for a few extra days? That would be better than just going back to the US. I'm sure they have enough supplies for that. What am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard 900-1000 passengers on board. Although a little money is better than none. A crewmember told me most crew will stay on board for the suspension in operations.

They should have just canceled. Now they will have to give refunds anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
