She talked to Royal and said we probably wouldn't see a cabin reassignment until Friday. Sure enough Friday morning we were moved from our hump JS on Deck 8 about 7 doors down to another non-hump JS that can hold 5 (we are a party of 3), same muster station still. Our TA called and got us reassigned to a hump JS on Deck 6 on Friday afternoon. I'm following the situation closely as we have 2 cabins on Oasis 12/12 sailing - a hump balcony & a CP with the large balcony nearby. Don't want to lose those 2 because I specifically picked them. Just curious, I went to website just now to do a mock booking for your cruise and there are currently 3 hump cabins still for sale on deck 8 - 2 right beside each other. Just don't understand if they're doing this to current bookings, why they have cabins next to each other still for sale. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She started back on the 15th of August doing the standard 7-night western Med itinerary from Barcelona and Rome. I was on the 26 September sailing. She is due to finish up at the end of this month and return to the States. The transatlantic crossing is due to depart from Barcelona on the 31st of October. Sorry I meant 2022 not 2021 in my original post. I still can't work out if this is all cruises or just some 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSocial Posted October 17, 2021 #104 Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) Someone suggested perhaps they are moving families to certain areas. Those of you impacted, if you received a letter, or were moved, would you mind sharing the following? Was your reservation only 1 or 2 adults in the cabin? Does your reservation include children under vaccine age (11 under) does your reservation include teens 12+ Is your reservation during holiday and US school vacations (higher occupancy with families on board) Nov-Jan, Trying to make sense of any logic (of course, when have we expected logic?) Thanks! Edited October 17, 2021 by BSocial Added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! We are 2 adults, one teen, and an unvaxed 10yo, cruising over Thanksgiving on Harmony. We are on deck 6 in an oceanview balcony now. We got the letter Wednesday, but our documents still show the same cabin. I think I have only heard of a couple of people actually being reassigned, though lots of people appear to have gotten the letter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanksgiving sailing..3 adults in a hump JS deck 8 originally. Moved 7 doors down to a non-hump that can hold 5+.

It was never said how they are "socially distancing." Doesn't necessarily translate into having no neighbors. It's still a poor explanation for displacing people who paid extra to choose their cabin location. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does your reservation include children under vaccine age (11 under) does your reservation include teens 12+ Is your reservation during holiday and US school vacations (higher occupancy with families on board) Nov-Jan, We have two adults in the cabin, as well as two kids- our vaccinated 13-year-old and unvaccinated 11-year-old (who we are hopeful can be fully vaccinated before the cruise, if the vaccine rollout for his age group is quick enough). Our reservation is for the Dec. 12th 12-night Anthem sailing. Our chosen cabin is one of the few obstructed balconies that are classified that way due to a slight obstruction by the hull, as opposed to the majority of the cabins in that category that have much more intrusive lifeboat obstructions. I'm concerned that they'll move us into one of those since they are all technically the same category, which would be frustrating since we paid extra to choose our cabin specifically to avoid the ones obstructed by lifeboats and davits. If the hull obstructed cabin hadn't been available, I would have booked a normal balcony from the get-go. Fingers crossed! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefly333 Posted October 18, 2021 #111 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I think it would be good if rcl came out and explained what's going on and why. For instance I hear of no one on liberty cruises being moved ... why certain ships? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted October 18, 2021 #112 Share Posted October 18, 2021 OK, it is definitely odd that it doesn’t seem to be all ships and that it seems to be people with more than two in the state room. Are they trying to create a section for potentially unvaccinated, like children? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is over my kids' Spring Break week. We have two rooms booked--a balcony room with one adult and one 16 year old, and an ocean view room next door with one adult and one 17 year old. Our rooms are at the back of deck 7. We are all vaccinated. Our email didn't indicate which room was being moved. We have not been moved yet. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starladear13 Posted October 21, 2021 #115 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) I'm sailing on Symphony OTS on 1/15/22, and received the dreaded email. I was booked into Ocean View Balcony 11302, I'm travelling with my husband and kids (12 (vax) and 8 (not yet, but hopefully soon)). We were booked in the room next to my in laws. Our room got moved further aft, but still an Ocean View Balcony. My in-laws room was not impacted.

cruisin from florida Posted October 22, 2021 #123 Share Posted October 22, 2021 We have a cruise booked with good friends in May. We have adjacent but not connecting balconies on the hump. I wonder if linking our reservations somehow would prevent their splitting us up if this policy moves into May. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope this is a rare occurrence. Cabin selection/location is very important to us.
