WeMissSeaView Posted January 15, 2021 #26 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Have not given up, but have lost my enthusiasm to book new cruises. Waiting for my May cruises to be canceled next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TX.Mameow&Papeow Posted January 15, 2021 #27 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Our last completed cruise was a B2B in Feb.2020. Since then we have had 6 suspended , 2 we transferred the booking that were later suspended and 2 that we did a Lift & Shift. Our next booked cruise is in Oct.2021 and an Oct. 2021 TA. We have 3 in Dec.2021, 1 in Jan.2022, 1 in Feb. 2022, a B3B to the South Pacific, New Zealand, and TP from Sydney to Hawaii in March and April 2022. We are booked in Oct. 2022 on Odyssey and hope to do the TA afterwards. So currently we have 11 booked and plans for 1 more. I'm hoping most will have a good chance of going, we will have to wait and see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKWLDCruise Posted January 15, 2021 #28 Share Posted January 15, 2021 The earliest I am looking to book is winter 2022, if they had committed to departures from Barbados for then I would have booked by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlorenceItaly Posted January 15, 2021 #29 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I have one 26 day with HAL booked for October 2021. I doubt it will go. Although tempting, I am reluctant to give the cruise lines any more money. Currently, they only have $600 of mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra36 Posted January 15, 2021 #30 Share Posted January 15, 2021 No plans for this year and may be the second half of 2022 before I start to think about looking again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamcruzin Posted January 15, 2021 #31 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I usually don’t book more than 8 months out. I won’t even look at the deals and itineraries until cruises are up and running. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1976 Posted January 15, 2021 #32 Share Posted January 15, 2021 My Majesty 2022 got canceled, and decided not to book another one until I see how cruising is going to be once it resumes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spunks Posted January 15, 2021 #33 Share Posted January 15, 2021 There is no stopping Annie. We have 19 booked. When one gets cancelled on this end, she just moves on to the next end. Only she could keep up with it all. Our thought is that one day a cruise will actually happen and when it does, we aim to be on it. We can see the hand writing on the wall. Prices are going up like crazy.Cruises that we have booked would cost almost twice the price we "locked in". Come to think of it, this is much like the commodities future market. Besides.....what else do we have to do with our time? Doug 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erinsmom03 Posted January 15, 2021 #34 Share Posted January 15, 2021 We booked for Dec 21, a short 4 night Bahamas, hopeful that will be likely to sail. Next one is Alaska in July 2022. We lost our 12 night Jewel British Isles cruise, so these two are to make up for that. I am done with FCC, though. I booked refundable deposits on both cruises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FionaMG Posted January 15, 2021 #35 Share Posted January 15, 2021 We only have a 7-night Med on Harmony in late September this year, L&S'd from Allure last year. I am not convinced even that one will go and we will wait till final payment is almost upon us to see how the land lies. Luckily it sails from Barcelona so don't have to worry about flights because at a push we could drive there if necessary. It is unlikely we will book anything else in the meantime unless we find an amazing deal, but I am still keenly watching out for Anthem's eastbound TA in April/May 2022 and any hint of a Panama Canal cruise in late November/early December 2022. Otherwise, I do still keep checking the cruise planner daily for any deals but the enthusiasm isn't there right now and it's almost a case of "Oh yeah, I guess I have to check the cp now". 😞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just made Emerald after our last cruise. With double points and booking on a suite we will hit diamond in one cruise. Crazy. Hopefully won’t be cancelled. Happy to hear you were able to L&S for Christmas 2021...we were told the L&S parameters states cruises must be booked within 4 weeks of the cancelled cruise. Congrats in advance...when you make Diamond...and 😊enjoy the Suite perks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABoatNerd Posted January 15, 2021 #37 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Since there is no information on what the actual product will be and then add in the cruise line debt levels - logic says there will be degradation of the previous product levels. Therefore, will not book any cruise until such time as the pre-onboard-post product is clear and consistent so that it can be measured for value and measured against non cruise vacation options. By design, we have no FCC's. Our money is ours to decide how to spend. Cruises are at the very bottom of the future expenditure plan well behind land vacations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisin from florida Posted January 15, 2021 #38 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Not booking anything new, but we keep rebooking as our cruises get cancelled. Next up: July 2021 Greek Isles. I'm not optimistic, but if they cancel, we'll book something for 2022. We are really hoping that our 2022 B2B with Transpacific happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BigRoger Posted January 15, 2021 #39 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Definitely still booking.... after 6 RCG cancellations and numerous ‘restructurings’ via Lift and Shift and CWC FCCs... we have 8 booked to/ including Allure TA April/ May 22.... Simple view from us is ‘why not’ if the pricing is good and you can use FCCs for deposits? When or if they get cancelled it’s just another process of unpicking plans and moving to the next one... more planned for 2022.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a hold on a July 22 one but I can't convince the wife the do an international flight anymore so that one will likely not be booked. That being said, I'm looking for an option for Summer/Fall 2022 and then also March 2023 when Royal finally releases those schedules. I'll probably slide in a Dec 2022 in there as well. I was done until the 8 day Mariners out of PC showed up. 😉 Hello Bermuda and Aruba Edited January 15, 2021 by John&LaLa 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any cruise the cruise line cancels is usually 25% more FCC for another booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SECdawg Posted January 15, 2021 #44 Share Posted January 15, 2021 We jumped on the Mariner to Bermuda also. Looking at the alternate to Aruba as well. Too convenient to pass up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mek Posted January 15, 2021 #47 Share Posted January 15, 2021 My last cruise was Feb, 2020. I had one in June that was canceled and I got a full refund for that and another that I L&S to November 2021 only because I booked with a NR deposit. I don't have plans to book anything else until cruising starts back up and I'm sure the product they offer is still something I'm interested in doing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB_NJ Posted January 15, 2021 #48 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I had use or lose FCC so I booked for Dec. Won't put a penny of new money (that I cannot get back) into the cruise lines until I see that they are really starting up. I also make sure I have travel insurance that covers the cruise lines going bankrupt just in case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
