KelSny1011 Posted April 1, 2020 #1 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Anyone have insight on this? https://www.tmz.com/2020/04/01/royal-caribbean-cruise-nursecon-no-refunds-credit/ The story just doesn't make sense. RC has been issuing refunds, so is it the organizer who doesn't want to refund? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not-enough-cruising Posted April 1, 2020 #2 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Charters operate under a different set of rules, I'm not sure how this all works 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgestang Posted April 1, 2020 #3 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) Well, with the rules we know about....if Nursecon cancelled their reservation before the cruise was cancelled, then they would have gotten FCC for all and not a refund...and the article does say "at first it was postpone" Edited April 1, 2020 by dodgestang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatour Posted April 3, 2020 #6 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Based on the initial posting and the statement from RCCL. This sounds like a full charter or partial charter. I am guessing in the case of a charter the refund initially goes back to the charterer. And the charterer is responsible for refunding the money 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e2011 Posted April 4, 2020 #8 Share Posted April 4, 2020 My daughter is a nurse and she is caught up in this mess. She just wants her money back and apparently its Nursecon and Blake Lynch (Nurse Blake the promoter) who are refusing the refund. I suspect to keep their commission?

Rare terry&mike Posted April 4, 2020 #9 Share Posted April 4, 2020 This is a charter group. In this case, these passengers have a booking, and a contract, with a company that chartered the sailing. That company has a contract with Royal. The passengers issue is actually with the company they booked through. The same is happening with a Dave Koz cruise in May, but it's not making news as it is a group of Jazz lovers, rather than medical personnel.

Rare Tree_skier Posted April 4, 2020 #11 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Typical fake news... Even high school newspaper journalistic skills would cause you to pick up the phone and get a statement from Royal. The original article lies about Royal not issuing refunds and everybody reads that. The correction never gets the coverage and most people believe the lie. Journalism is dead in America. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyCruiser Posted April 8, 2020 #13 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Originally Published -- 4/1 1:00 PM PT: "The no-refunds rage continues..." UPDATE: 9:27 AM PT -- 4/2: Royal Caribbean claims they have offered the NURSECON participants a refund, telling us, "Royal Caribbean has been extremely flexible with Nursecon and has provided them with the option to offer their guests a refund on their cruise fare plus taxes and fees, or a 125% future cruise credit." Solved!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a nurse and had thought about this cruise until I read the fine print on the Nursecon site stating no refunds. Also, just the idea of being on a cruise while having to go to class for education credits. My daily choices while out at sea would be a pool or class....and I know which choice will win.

I don’t think UDP applies specifically to Nursecon. I just don’t think they’re that big of an LLC to conduct video streaming.
