Cruises Starting June 12??

[redsoxfan1210]

What does everything thing about the chances of Royal Caribbean Cruises actually starting on June 12? If Royal were to stick with that date they would be one of the first major cruise line to begin cruising as Carnival, NCL, Disney, MSC are all starting after that date. What are everyone's thoughts on this?

0%. They are only cancelling 30 days at a time

0.001% chance of starting on June 12.

 

No cruise line wants to be first.

Well someone will have to sail eventually.  It is like they are playing the childhood game....you go first, no you go first!

No chance

June 12, 2021?  That will probably happen.

nothing will sail in June. I have a cruise booked for November and I doubt it will sail. I have cruises for Jan 2021 and March 2021, I doubt those will sail as the second wave will be upon us. I'm thinking my next cruise won't be until May 2021, but since it leaves from Japan, I'm worried about a new virus emerging again.

So most agree no one will be sailing on June 12 - When do you think the next wave of cancellations will be?

Will there be another month of cancellations at that point? 

[Tree_skier]

Cancellations will come 1 month at a time.  That way they can stagger the massive number of refunds they are having to give out.

They will not sail, you can take that to the bank. They get your money now and then give you a voucher when THEY cancel, such a deal, what a racket.

We got ALL our money back within a week after Royal canceled our 5/17 cruise, so please explain the "racket?"

If rcl knows a cruise will be cancelled it's a racket to accept money to book that cruise.

Wow...you will be the first who received their money from a May cruise. Good for you!

So are they STILL accepting money for the cruises canceled through what is it June 12th I believe? And on the other side how do they "know" a future cruise "will" be canceled (beyond 6/12.) Also if YOU were the CEO of RCL how far out would YOU have already canceled cruises and hoped then to not be voted out by the stockholders?

less then 0% of that happening, nothing from NJ or NY for a long time. Surely not in 6 weeks.

No cruise line wants to be first.

And absolutely no cruise line wants to be last. Most will cringe at being second, and then need a way to tell the shareholders why they waited and lost customers .

6 weeks ago coronavirus was a Whats That, Never Heard of it. Did you see all the major cruise line stocks jump 15% - 20% today.

It's is a racket to me, when they take your final payment, knowing the cruise, such as June 12 as well as others, will not go. Refundable Deposits are always sent back to your CC, at the moment. If you got a FULL refund on a cruise that was paid for at final payment and then canceled, great for you and you are the first I have heard of. There are a ton of vouchers out that with people whose cruise was canceled. Many of those vouchers will never be used, for whatever reason, and RCCL knows it. To me that is a bait and switch or racket. Now having said that, I know that is just the way many businesses are run. RCCL is advertising, and selling, cruises for June 2020, knowing the US will not allow cruise ships to go in June. Why would they do that?????? Saty safe

Someone asked and I answered. It's my opinion that the cdc 100 day no sail order will stop june 12th cruises.

 

If I were the ceo, I'd for sure say hey free money, of course yes. 

 

I personally dont care, just explaining that I dont think during the 100 day no sail order cruises will sail. Just my own opinion. I haven't seen any plan from any cruise line addressing hospital ships and other cdc demands that makes me think different.

You have a better shot at watching your Red Sox at Fenway on June 12.
