Rare orville99 Posted November 17, 2020 #1 Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) They’re starting... just got an email from RCL that the itinerary for our October 2021 Allure Eastern has been changed. St. John’s is out and St Martin is in. I expect to get a lot more emails like this as thy try to figure out where they can actually sail in 2021.🙃 Edited November 17, 2020 by orville99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted November 17, 2020 #2 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Won't bother me much at all. I really don't much look at the ports we will go to any longer anyway on a Carib cruise. Been to so many of them, so many times. Right now it is really the ship I want to be on, and Allure is really the destination in itself for me, IMHO. Just want to be able to cruise again...someday...somehow...maybe? 🤕 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted November 17, 2020 #3 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Likely to change again. 2021 is going to be a wild ride for the cruise industry. Sit back, fasten your seat belt and enjoy the ride. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont have another rcl until dec 2021. Bring on the changed ports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leen50 Posted November 17, 2020 #7 Share Posted November 17, 2020 We have a 9 nt. 10/06/21 Explorer from Galveston. Waiting as well. Frankly I just don't care anymore. If we cruise, we cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie115 Posted November 17, 2020 #8 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Wondering about the Harmony TA 10/31 2021 from Barcelona..... On the Celebrity Boards there are a lot of really angry people whose sailings on the Edge have been cancelled in Jan/Feb 2021 today....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted November 17, 2020 #9 Share Posted November 17, 2020 My Jewel B2B (12 nights each) Baltic and British Isles was cancelled weeks ago. Was not happy about that either...cruise was not until August 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hope is that with a vaccine the fall transatlantic and other cruises like Panama Canal will be allowed to sail. If nothing changes they will not sail. Time will tell. Can't speak to angry X users, Royal will likely follow suit. It is what it is, the virus is not under control. I can understand disappointment but who is the target of the anger? That isn't the fault of the cruise lines. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can actually understand the reasoning but can also understand passengers being upset. The the sailings being cancelled are 10 & 11 night Edge sailings and the offers being made to the Silhouette are much more expensive under their new "Always Included" program. Edge is changing to 7 night cruises only.....more cruises, more money for the cruise line. I'd be upset too. I am just hoping that the Harmony TA will be a go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first, I was not excited about the itinerary, but then I looked at the ship and was really impressed. At this point, we will be happy if our cruise is able to sail 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those sailing before October 31 from Europe, yes, ....that's why I am concerned about Harmony that we are booked on. It is supposed to sail from Barcelona on October 31.

I don't care what the itinerary is as long as I can have an enjoyable cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njkruzer Posted November 17, 2020 #20 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Our 10 nt TA Anthem from Southampton in October is supposed to arrive in USA on 10/31/21 and its no longer being offered. Can they just extend the cruise a couple of days so we arrive after November 1st? I know, I know, just keep hoping. I don't expect our April TA on Rhapsody will go.

So, yes that would impact any TA's/TP's, etc. What RCL may end of doing is simply push back the date for a TA to take place first week of November instead of end of October, as suggested by another poster. Too early to know for sure where we will all be at next Fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're booked on the 7 night Med before the Harmony TA too and are hoping they will change it to an 8 night Med with the last night being an overnight in Barcelona. That way the TA begins November 1.

It is based on departure date...not arrival date. Even the Harmony’s TA that departs on Oct 31 and arrives mid November does not meet the requirements and is no longer for sale. That one could be an easy fix...just move the departure to Nov. 1 and kick the engines up a notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
