bgoff60 Posted January 26, 2022 #1 Share Posted January 26, 2022 For those that were sailing on the repositioning cruise for Allure OTS (Florida top Galveston) in November that got cancelled... You were given 3 options but there were no JS or above rooms available. There was a thread discussion about why there were no rooms available... Well guess what. Today, (THE DAY AFTER YOU HAD TO MAKE YOUR CHOICE OR THEY WOULD CANCEL YOU CRUISE FOR YOU...) there are now miraculously JS and above rooms available...Unbelievable. I am 'chatting' with them now...

bgoff60 Posted January 26, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Update. Spent 50+ minutes on a phone call with C&A at RCI. They WERE able to get me back into a JS AND do it with price protected booking - meaning I get to keep the same booking number, same low price that I ORIGINALLY booked at AND...they are letting me keep the $200 of OBC that they offered me when they downgraded me to a balcony room...AND I get to still receive quad points for the JS room. All in all...a good 50 minutes spent... If you got bumped out...CALL! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just posted in another thread how Royal issued me an FCC instead of the promised refund on a cruise that they canceled (Allure to Wonder, and bumped from a CLS to a JS with no price protection, and now they are claiming that I canceled the booking that they automatically moved to Wonder without asking me). On top of that the FCC is $200 short of what we had already paid. And here, the OP had to spend an hour on the phone fighting for the price protection on a cabin that wasn't previously available. These are the facts. Draw your own conclusions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
