I wonder if Royal are waiting for details of the next traffic light review on Thursday - and in particular news on whether France will go back to amber - before firming up their plans for Anthem in Sep & Oct. I wish they would make up their mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms Jo UK Posted August 3, 2021 #29 Share Posted August 3, 2021 The silence from RCCL is outrageous. Even if waiting for a Boris decision they should be keeping their passengers informed that is what they are doing, instead of leaving everyone hanging and speculating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumping Cruiser Posted August 3, 2021 #31 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Anthem Sept/Oct Cruises Possible glimmer of hope for international cruises from Southampton this summer. RCI are now advertising a 7 Night Spain & Portugal cruise, departing 2nd October 2021, on their US website. However, every category of rooms is marked as sold out, besides outside view. This makes you wonder if the removal of Sept and Oct sailings is simply down to capacity control 🤔, especially with no cancellation announcement today. Could this mean that UK port bookings for Anthem throughout these months is part of a plan b, if changes in England’s traffic light system result in internationals being cancelled?

HighlandBoy Posted August 3, 2021 #32 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Just had a email to say that our upcoming cruise is cancelled but hoping it’s sent in error as it’s to Dear Guest and doesn’t say which of our 3 bookings is effected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beardedladies Posted August 4, 2021 #46 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Just got ours for 2nd Oct trip too. At least our dates are not changing, still 7 days. It’s interesting that there’s no FCC option this time and you’re automatically changes to the new sailing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayleyp Posted August 4, 2021 Author #47 Share Posted August 4, 2021 While not unexpected I still think it's pretty poor that people found out about this days before Royal let them know. Any mention of whether these will be open to fully vaccinated UK residents only? I'm assuming not since the UK doesn't require quarantine for US/EU now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably have no trouble selling them, as a good portion of guests on the original ones will probably shift across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarahbear666 Posted August 4, 2021 #50 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Our 12th Sept 11 nighter now changed to 7 night British isles cruise! Slightly disappointed, mostly about the shorter duration though. I assume that means a new 19th Sept itinerary though so perhaps a back2back if allowed?!?
