Merion_Mom Posted September 23, 2020 #26 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Jewel out of Boston? Interesting choice. I wonder how many cruises she will do there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense and makes transferring people over easy. I'm hoping we are both correct! I was on the 6/17/21 Adventure sailing, 10 Day Ultimate Scandinavia. I'm chatting with them via Twitter now to try and get a handle on what the new days look like. I will keep this thread updated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CynBeth6 Posted September 23, 2020 #29 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I just got an e-mail but my Med cruise has been cancelled for June so we have to decide if we want to switch to another one or wait until 2022 and do something else in the US next summer.

You're right... the girl I just talked to was clueless. Do you know of a number or email to get information via the redeployment desk? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishgal432 Posted September 23, 2020 #31 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Only one problem with Adventure to Jewel. 10 Owners Suites on Adventure and 5 on Jewel. 23 Grand Suites on Adventure and 15 on Jewel.

I paid the deposit, and it was confirmed by my travel agency online. The payment is pending on my credit card, so I'm crossing my fingers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cello56 Posted September 23, 2020 #34 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) We haven't got our letter yet, but from what others are posting it sounds like we are losing St.Petersburg on our Adventure June 27th. cruise. While I would prefer Jewel to Adventure anyways, spending two days in St. Petersburg was one of our main reasons for booking this cruise. Guess we'll just take the refund and book again once the 2022 itineraries come out. Does anyone know if it makes a difference that we booked through a Big Box travel agency as to why we haven't received our letter yet? Do we have to wait for the travel agent to contact us?

We will have to drive to Miami instead of taking an Uber to Port Everglades. But I have my fingers crossed that our itinerary does not change, this cruise was going to Antigua (never been there and St. Lucia (only been there once), so I was really looking forward to it. You are blessed to live close to the Ports! We prefer Port Canaveral because that's an eight hour drive for us. Getting there is easy, but we drive straight thru to get home so my husband can work the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told all the itineraries from AD are transferring directly to JW with no changes. Letters for AD have not gone out yet and wont be until later tonight or tomorrow.

kands6191 Posted September 23, 2020 #38 Share Posted September 23, 2020 We are happy about the change. We were on a 3/16 Independence 5 day cruise that was cancelled on the evening of 3/13. My son and girlfriend were also going and he planned to propose. Our daughter and her boyfriend were going too. We were in Inside cabins to save the young ones some money. Needless to say, we were so disappointed. Luckily we were driving from Illinois to KY to pick up my daughter then driving to FL, so we just hopped in the car and made a trip to Clearwater where my son proposed on the beach. We took the 125% FCC's and were able to book on the 5/8 Brilliance for 8 days in balcony cabins for an additional $100 each. Soon after there was a price drop and we ended up getting the fare paid in full with $100 in FCC coming. Now we find out that we get to sail on the Independence after all, in balconies, and possibly a southern Caribbean cruise where the kids have never been! My only concern was about where we would be moved to on the new ship. I'm not sure if the agent linked our reservations when we booked but I went in as soon as I got the email and added the reservations on the Royal site. I hope that is enough to keep us together as we had 3 cabins in a row. Anyone have any experience with this who has an idea of how it works? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my one main worry, losing my overnight in Russia. I have gone before and LOVED it! Would love to get your insight so I can feel a little more confident haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like mid ship for Alaska. Celebrity Solstice PH suite has amazing views. Both have side balconies as well as aft ones. I am going this summer in a GL and booked the side one for that reason.

I sailed her on my honeymoon a few years back. Have you booked any of your excursions yet? Wondering if they will transfer over as well. I haven't yet on my end.

Interesting idea about the transfer over. usually they don't but if everything is the same I don't see why they couldn't move everything over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really don't need suite perks other than dbl points😉 Edited September 23, 2020 by John&LaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
