Oh no!!  That stinks.  I hope they don't cancel any more.. We are on Allure in 16 Jan.  

I’m on that sailing as well, but was doing a S2S on Jewel after. What a mess this is quickly becoming…

Ebay usually cancels those kinds of listings.

I'm sure you'll be fine. Not sure why Jewel didn't get the free FCC

 

Not sure you'll get those dbl points, though.

I was scheduled for the Jewel on the 9th. I am getting a full refund plus FCC

They’ve got a 12/21 expiration so I’m not sure how many takers we’d get; not everyone knows about the extension.

Just lost my B2B on JW later this month, but just talked to Loyalty and they said I can change the ship and sail dates, and will keep the double points as long as I sail before 12/31/22

Well that truely sucks.  Figures that's what happens too. 

 

With the shortage of tests, they should be worth double on the open market.  You can save them for a later sailing but that certainly wasn't your thought when you bought them. 

Well I don't think we can say we didn't see this coming. A pause of some of these ships was needed,

I moved a booking from May '22 to Dec '22 and was told DP ends on Sept 30th. Those with FCC better book quick

 

You also had to book it by September of last year, I believe.

Didn't you chastise Ken for a similar comment last week 🤔 

Sure he did, but you were not supposed to notice!😇

Well it looks like they are being very generous with the Jan 8 and 9 sailings.

 

Rightly so. Many of those people are probably already in transit to the port area or very soon to be. 

[xpcdoojk]

OB, so you are still going?  

[jdg623]

I wish they would have extended use of FCC into next year. We are pretty solidly travel booked this year, it's going to be a challenge to fit that free cruise in - but rest assured, I'm up for it 😅

It is only the 4 listed sailings.  Yours are not affected.

Yet.

This was really the only way to make things right. So many people were already en route to Miami or already there. We were just two hours from getting on a plane. Since we paid for a full suite, the 100% FCC + refund will make us whole and more financially. So a good bet we will sail RC again.

On same sailing -- we dodged a bullet (so far).  Feel bad for those on the cancelled sailings. 

 

Will need to keep a close eye for anymore cancellations.

My head is spinning. I am rarely this indecisive about anything. I have a really good price on both the cruise and flights, really like my cabin location, and I need some warmth after digging out the house, my parent's house, and the office from this snow today. But the right and left side of my brain are having a battle.😐

[SummerBeee]

Lost 2 on Jewel, the 9th and 15th. Wish they could have done this a bit earlier in the am, before I took the COVID eMed test.

I had a steal of deal on solo balconies too. Will never see that again.

Hope Oasis on the 23rd is still a go, that was a L&S from Empress

Hopefully that doesn't cause any permanent damage 😁

The two halves tend to call truce when alcohol is introduced.😊

I was in the same position. In the end Royal made the decision for us.
