njkruzer Posted November 12, 2020 #51 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Just looked and our TA on Rhapsody April 10, 2021, is not shown as available. Not sure what it means. Will have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day 1: Depart Miami Day 2: at sea Day 3: Labadee Day 4: at sea Day 5: Aruba(all day) Day 6: at sea Day 7: at sea That's actually not a bad solution. I would prefer the 9 night, but could live with that itinerary. Hopefully we will be notified with enough advance notice so that I can adjust my hotel stay.

rockmom Posted November 12, 2020 #53 Share Posted November 12, 2020 (edited) I'm on an 8 night on Indy in July of next year. Indy was recently added to cover the 6 and 8 night sailings out of Miami, replacing Brilliance. This morning the 8 nights were still there and you could do a mock booking, as of now, you can't book any of the 8 nights (you can still book the 6 nights). You can bring up the 8 night sailing but when you go to actually book it, you get the error message below. Hopefully they let those of us on those sailings know sooner than later what their plans are for us. Edited November 12, 2020 by rockmom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lund asked all passengers to return to their cabins, where they would be isolated. Nonessential crew also would isolate immediately, he said.' I was just reading online update from the point guy who is on that sailing. He said how noone had to wear a mask till monday afternoon they required everyone to wear a mask. No masks at all just sounded stupid to me. So not surprised to hear this, but not good either. I think it's only 52 passengers plus crew. Hopefully everyone will be ok and no serious illnesses will result from this. I'm sure Barbados wont be thrilled when they dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like they are not taking any new bookings on cruises over 7 days. It would be nice to know if they are going to change these longer cruises.

I suspect they could modify / shorten the sailing by losing 1 port and 1 sea day. We'll see! Maybe the CDC will allow 8 or 9 nighters if we have a vaccine and all is going well with cruise lines. It is far too early for anyone to know what will be happening next fall. The vaccine should be in mass distribution by then, so I suspect that the CDC will lift the 7 day restriction in time for your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted November 12, 2020 #57 Share Posted November 12, 2020 It is every sailing that either starts or ends in the US and is 8 days or longer. All of these sailings are shown as closed. This includes all the TA’s, TP’s and repositioning cruises. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine3601 Posted November 12, 2020 #61 Share Posted November 12, 2020 (edited) As their IT people are obviously updating website for longer sailings, hopefully rcl let's us know their plan. Would be easy enough to modify some of the itineraries. Or for sailings booked for late summer/fall of 2021 to let them ride as vaccine could be a game changer and 8+ nights could be allowed by then.

I think they will have to modify the itinerary. They don't want to refund the money and they have to do something with these ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd555 Posted November 12, 2020 #66 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Hello. I am hearing from some other passengers on my 9-day November 11 2021 Odyssey of the Seas cruise that it is cancelled due to redeployment. Not yet seeing any changes in my booking.

Lloyd the CDC order restricting sailings to 7 days or less only runs through November 1. Your November 11 sailing is not affected by the current order and is still available to be booked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's painful seeing RCI just cancel month to month. Can't make positve alternative plans, and they want us to keep making final payments on cruises they know won't happen. I could just cancel all 8 legs, but I already have too many FCC vouchers I can't even start to use yet. No idea which and when each cruise will happen...then I would have vouchers on vouchers. Ughh.. Responsible thing for RCI to do, as did their sister line Celebrity...is to rip the bandage off and come out with official cancellation of the rest of the 2020/2021 Australia/NZ season. What's left of it anyway. Very frustrating. 😒 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sellwingri Posted November 12, 2020 #70 Share Posted November 12, 2020 3 of my 8 day cruises are casino comped so I called Casino Royale this morning and they have no information other than you can’t book any cruises 8 day or longer cruises that start or end in a US port through 11/1/2021. She told me that they’re working with the CDC and when they have more information, they’ll let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically the 7 night did cost a little more, but it will be compliant with current CDC requirements 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
