Let those that want to cruise, cruise. Those that don't can join the never-ending 'delay of game' and cruise if/when they're ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I haven't seen it, searchable, for a while. First one I see is July 10th I belive, a 5 day cruise. Yet they haven't cancelled ours yet, officially. So still holding onto a glimmer of hope! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it sails, cancel right before 48 hours and get your money back under the CWC claus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rcl may be hoping people do cancel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Oh yeah right, you would get a a full refund if Royal cancels the cruise........which we all know is going to happen on that sailing anyway 9 day sailings in JULY have no chance !

Pandamonia Posted June 1, 2021 #332 Share Posted June 1, 2021 after a long conversation with RCCL today they said they cant delay payment. But they will let me keep $200 of the $350 OBC per week even if i take the FCC to buy a different cruise. I nearly booked next year on Odyssey back to back but ive worked out that i can get 2 weeks in Mexico for less money with better food and more stuff to do. Its starting to dawn on me that Drinks packages, Dining packages and flights are adding up to double the cost of what i used to pay for a cruise. It seems that each year they make less effort to so maybe its time to relegate cruising to the off second holiday instead of my main summer holiday. Royals behaviour has just exasperated the situation even further for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlleach Posted June 3, 2021 #336 Share Posted June 3, 2021 No. You can no longer book Allure or Symphony. They can't have a revenue sailing without the test cruise. Now we know the dates of the test. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kearney Posted June 3, 2021 #340 Share Posted June 3, 2021 As I understand it... it is to test their protocols.... so as an example a test passenger could be told..at some point... you have covid (not for real but part of role play)... that passenger now goes into isolation and the crew have to make sure the person stays in the room... provide food... come by for periodic temp checks etc... The idea is to make sure that they have the protocols in place and that crew are trained. I read that to be a volunteer will require some work on your part. So it is not to see if Covid pops up...but to nail down what they need to do to prevent it and to stop it from spreading. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, people think they are going to be laying on the pool deck all day, not going to happen, they are there for just what it is...........to test the cruiseline to know how to handle all issues that arise. They will make issues with real people on the cruise. Many will not be happy, but it's either that or don't volunteer.
