Canada last said they will make a decision on June 30 as to extend the decision or not. Not sure how anyone can plan July 1 without any certainty.

A lot will tell over the next 1-2 months that by latest end of May a decision can be made if Canada will be able to reopen it's ports or not.

 

The next weeks will also give a good indication on how things will develop for the near term of which I see a further delay to be anounced that cruises will not be able to commence before begining of June the earliest or even later.

They haven't actually cancelled NE/Canada cruises out of NJ/MD, etc.  We're booked on 15 May Adventure out of NJ to Canada/NE and it still hasn't been cancelled.  It appears to most that they're trying to do a new itinerary, but that's doubtful. The only choices for a 6 day cruise are Bermuda or Bahamas and Bermuda hasn't announced that they're actually going to allow ships in yet and I bet the Bahamas can't guarantee anything either.

The only cruises they cancelled were the ones departing o4 ending in Canada.  Not sure how they are going to juggle the itineraries to make them a legal cruise though.

 

At Royal Caribbean International, we maintain our unwavering commitment to ensure the health and safety of our guests, crew, and surrounding communities. The decision was made on March 13, 2020 to voluntarily globally suspend our sailings, and our goal is to resume operations on May 12, 2020. For our Singapore departures on June 1, 2020, our Alaska sailings on July 1, 2020 and for sailings originating or ending in Canada on July 1, 2020.

That is not how their original statement was worded. I'm pretty sure it'll become a moot point.  I see cruising as the last thing to open back up and May 11 is a pipe dream.  Their "originating or ending in Canada" statement makes zero sense when this cruise and a few others can't legally stop in Canada.  We're holding on til they cancel.  We know we're not going, but want them to cancel.  We prefer a refund.  We have a b2b booked on Harmony in Nov and would rather not end up with 4 fcc's if those end up cancelled too since AD is also a b2b.
