Our 2D cabin on Symphony for 7/21 is $1800 more than the Rate we shifted from 7/20. Points aren’t that valuable. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason they should be too concerned about helping a few people move up in status in the present conditions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are happy with the cruises we are booked on and the price we paid for them. We will enjoy our cruises and not worry about the double points. Same here well said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoeyVictoria Posted October 19, 2020 #104 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Well, my pleasure in that didn’t last long. I should have stopped reading at page 2 and kept the warm, fuzzy feeling a little bit longer. It really is a slap in the face for those who have had multiple cruises cancelled and kept booking more in spite of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villager70 Posted October 19, 2020 #105 Share Posted October 19, 2020 10 Weird Royal Caribbean Rules, and Why About Royal Caribbean Blog is an unofficial fan blog written for other fans of Royal Caribbean International. The Royal Caribbean Blog is not affiliate This was taken off the blog.We have 15 booked in 2021 in juniors and what it looks like we would only get one extra point per night . The prices have gone out of site on many and not much room selection. Also will have to see who will get bumped with upcoming cruises. I will keep my current 2 points in a junior instead of the three. The Double Points offer also provides bonus points for guests who would otherwise qualify for bonus points: Solo guests staying in a room by themselves would also qualify for an extra point, getting them three points per night. Suite guests would also receive three points per night. A solo cruiser in a suite would get four points per night. https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/sites/default/files/styles/500px/public/blog-images/cas-info-1.jpg?itok=jYG5RA_k https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/sites/default/files/styles/500px/public/blog-images/cas-info-2.jpeg?itok=pdQc3KqI Royal Caribbean Blog is your ultimate source for Royal Caribbean coverage.

happy cruiser1234 Posted October 19, 2020 #107 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Over on my "other" group, (not allowed to mention names) they are reporting that Royal is now extending the double points to already booked cruises. Here is a reply from a Royal representative. We're extending this offer, so that loyalty members with existing bookings do not miss out. The sailing must depart between January 1 – December 31, 2021. -Sam 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo&fran Posted October 19, 2020 #108 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Just received an email from X with the same offer, for bookings for the rest of the year for sailing from January 1 ,2021 through May 4, 2022. I would expect to something similar from Royal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoeyVictoria Posted October 19, 2020 #110 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Since they don’t mind “giving away” that many points, it would have been nice for them to grant one point per cancelled cruise that was reboooked rather than refunded. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy cruiser1234 Posted October 19, 2020 #119 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Also on my "other" group, they are saying that you need to contact Royal or your Travel Agent to have the double points added to your reservations. Some have reported already having done so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine too, and they are showing port side cabins now.... I am checking into my options. Don’t care about the double points, but wouldn’t complain if they were to give them. jc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
