Cruise with Confidence extension?

[jerseygirl3]

We did a Lift and Shift for our Enchantment 12 night sailing out of Baltimore February 2021 to February 5, 2022. This sailing has disappeared from Royal’s website. We’ve been told it’s because it’s sold out. Not sure if that’s true or not. As a backup we booked Anthem out of Bayonne 11 night sailing on January 31, 2022. They both have non-refundable deposits. We plan to make final payment on both and obviously sailing just one. I see where we can cancel up to 48 hours prior and get an FCC that must be used for a sailing no later than September 2022. Does anybody think they will extend that for a Feb 2022 sailing?  We’ve got a B2B scheduled in Europe for October 2022 and would like to use the FCC from whichever cruise we cancel toward that sailing. 
 

Anybody care to venture a guess?

No more CWC extensions, though with enough begging, slightly more lenient policies than pre COVID.

That’s not true. I was just going to post for this that they are now saying you can book a cruise a year from date of original cruise

When did you book the January 31 cruise, or was that also shifted?

 

Q

What is the Cruise with Confidence policy?

A

As of May 6, 2020, we have enhanced and expanded our Cruise with Confidence policy to give you even more peace of mind. The new Cruise with Confidence policy allows our guests that booked their cruise on or before October 31, 2021, to cancel any cruise departing on-or-before April 30, 2022, up to 48 hours before your sail date and receive a Future Cruise Credit. The credit can be used toward any cruise that sets sail through September 30, 2022, or one year from the original sailing date, whichever is later.

We just booked it this week. No, it wasn’t a lift and shift. However, the Enchantment was. So would they consider one year from the original sailing date to be from February 2021, even though Royal cancelled that sailing and we lifted and shifted that one to February 2022. Which date would they use?

I think you should phone and ask even though my instict is saying feb 21.

 

very happy with this new policy!
