RosieRoo Posted January 26, 2021 #28 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I’m hoping they will allow more than one L&S at some point. I have already done a L&S on my September sailing from 2020 to 2021. I have excellent pricing on my CLS. If they cancel and don’t allow a L&S I doubt I will be able to rebook another at close to those rates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They allowed those booked on Quantum to do a second lift and shift when Quantums Alaska 2021 season was cancelled. Lift and shift is officially cancelled as of Jan 31 however they may continue to allow it for sailings they cancel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s Oasis from Bayonne. I’d be happy to float around at sea and go nowhere if that’s all I can do. Either that or move it forward another year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soremekun Posted January 26, 2021 #35 Share Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) I'm not happy about the demise of L&S. Comparing this year's prices to next year shows higher pricing for a cruise I would potentially be interested in if I were able to use L&S if my Oasis 2021 cruise was cancelled. I found an inside stateroom at the following prices: Oasis July 9, 2021 - $2,056 double occupancy Oasis July 8, 2022 - $2,369 double occupancy Edited January 26, 2021 by soremekun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is unknown if they will allow that for future cancellations but right now it may only be an option if the cruise line cancels and not the guest.

I'm hoping your senses are right as I have a Sept. 5 sail out of Bayonne. There's a lingering doubt that it will not come off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare vacationlover_mn Posted January 26, 2021 #39 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Hmmm, now I'm tempted to book a fall cruise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateUpNorth Posted January 26, 2021 #40 Share Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) Good to see this extension. Really hoping they'll eventually move to extend to bookings through the end of 2022 which would include some of the winter Caribbean season. We've already done a L&S to end of 2021.

sandebeach Posted January 26, 2021 #41 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Yesterday I booked Symphony for Oct. 9, to do a B2B, and there are no suites available. The agent said a lot of people have booked for October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare twangster Posted January 26, 2021 #43 Share Posted January 26, 2021 In my view the primary purpose behind the extension is to generate new bookings. I don't think it says much of anything about when ships will sail or cancel. That would imply they are concerned about C&A membership numbers. Airlines do such things because their programs qualify every year. Royal doesn't have that. There is only one purpose of the double points promo and that to get people to book. Extending the promo provides more motivation to book for all those that have settled in on a "book no more until ships sail" philosophy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
