I hope so, and that you also realize that most Royal Caribbean cruisers would tend to disagree with you statement.........especially now that we're in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. Yes, Azamara and Silversea are under the RCCL umbrealla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tzbeach Posted April 13, 2020 #228 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I just wish they would cancel my Jewel ones May 24 & 31 out of Copenhagen. I want to take the refund option so I am trying to wait but patience is not my virtue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it's fully paid, if RCI cancels, should I anticipate a refund? If that thing sails, we'll probably be the only people on the boat. 🙂 It's not sailing. Take the money and run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Royal cancels the cruise, you will by default get a 125% Future Cruise Credit. You can switch that to a 100% refund. At least that's how it currently works. 1 minute ago, Ourusualbeach said: Exactly, sailing at 70% capacity will not make a bit of difference on a cruise ship. I’m not so sure thats true. In the cruise contract is state that if the cruise is cancelled by the government or officials of , the cruise line does not have to offer any compensation to the cruiser . I would think they would offer FCC however to keep people cruising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes perfect sense to issue an FCC when cash flow is limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the last set of cancellations Royal was ahead of them. Princess (Carnival owned) still has Alaska sailings for sail at the end of May. Why would you expect every cruise line to announce everything at the same time. The CDC just announced this on the Thursday night of a long weekend, I’m sure that every line will have made an announcement in the next couple days.

LXA350 Posted April 13, 2020 #237 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Within the next days we will get a announcement from Royal. Will not be suprised that they will announce already the cancellation of Oasis sailing out of Bayonne for the whole season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefly333 Posted April 13, 2020 #239 Share Posted April 13, 2020 FBN said bookings for cruises are up 40% for 2021 per a big box TA. I'd guess this is people with 125% fcc and carnival offering big obc to rebook. I dont usually book ahead, but planned out how to use my fcc. So it might not be more demand, but people like me forced to plan ahead. Just a warning for those saying prices will go down,.. maybe inside final payment, but not now. Carnival cancelled 45 days thru I think june 27 today.. so a lot more refunds or future bookings as some booked just to get that $600 obc offer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FBN did the interview with the TA who said they were misquoted by the newspaper. It's a site where you inquire and travel agents make offers to get your business which I cant name. Maybe its inquiries that are up, didnt understand what was up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Researcher Posted April 13, 2020 #243 Share Posted April 13, 2020 2 hours ago, Iamcruzin said: It's not sailing. Take the money and run. I suggest waiting until RCCL announces that it is cancelled, that way they can choose the option of 125% FCC, or get the full refund. If they cancel now, under the default "Cruise with Confidence" policy, they'll just get the 100% FCC for the cruise fare. Taxes, port fees, and pre-cruise purchases refunded, correct?

When I looked for it on Marine traffic...it was off the coast of Flagler county. Not too often does it cruise north. Wonder if the people from up there could see it off shore....would have been a treat! 🙂 Pat -- i was watching HM on Marine Traffic last night and wondered the same thing about Flagler County folks being able to see HM off the coast.

schlimazel_traveler Posted April 13, 2020 #245 Share Posted April 13, 2020 My final payment for a late July Baltic cruise was scheduled to be charged on Wednesday. I went ahead and cancelled. I wish Royal had extended the final payment deadline in the US. I know the "cruise with confidence" policy is supposed to take the place of that, but there's a difference between getting another month to decide whether to give them $8k, and a deal where I give it to them now and have to go through the hassle of making them give it back! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
