mcspliff Posted November 27, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 27, 2022 So I am getting on LOTS in 2 weeks for a weekend cruise, and when I logged into my RCCL account the Oasis sailing I have booked for 4/21/24 has changed. Originally it was a 7 night Eastern Caribbean itinerary but now it is showing a 14-night TA to Barcelona. I called Royal and they confirmed that it is in fact now a 14-night TA. My wife and I are totally ok with this, but I am curious if Royal does anything for guests who keep the booking? Do they offer any sort of OBC? Also just figured I would give people a heads up as this sailing is currently not showing on the RCCL website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fla33023 Posted November 27, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I booked a 5-night Indy cruise Nov 2023. It later changed to a 7-night. We were able to stay on that cruise without additional charges for the 2 extra nights. Nothing more was offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as there isn't a price change I could definitely get on board with a transatlantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sailing will be cancelled and you will get a refund or an option to move to another 7 day cruise. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds promising for a moment though, doesn't it? ☺️ Edited November 27, 2022 by Coralc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had opposite experience, on 2 Cruises each lost a day and changed ship(sister/same class). Royal wouldnt reduce the Price. Ended up being CV stoppage canceled 16 months ago anyway Edited November 27, 2022 by ONECRUISER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait to get the official cancellation message before doing something on your own. Edited November 27, 2022 by Biker19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect they won’t allow those booked to roll onto the TA, but crossing my fingers for you! 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FionaMG Posted November 27, 2022 #10 Share Posted November 27, 2022 A couple of posters elsewhere reported this situation a week or so ago. In their case, it's complicated by the fact that they were B2B with the 21st of April sailing as their second week. They were simply told that their sailing was cancelled, with no alternative offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallow Posted November 27, 2022 #12 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I don't see the TA on the site yet for the Oasis. I wonder what the itinerary is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted November 27, 2022 #13 Share Posted November 27, 2022 (edited) Seems odd to pull an Oasis ship in the middle of the spring break season to do a TA unless it's a like for like swap and your cruise will still happen, just on a different ship Edited November 27, 2022 by smokeybandit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 21st of April sailing was the last one. My guess is that they wouldn't have had time to do a revenue TA sailing if she remained Stateside until the 28th and perhaps the bean counters thought the TA would return higher revenue than the 7 night Caribbean sailing.

mcspliff Posted November 28, 2022 Author #16 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Just figured I would give everyone an update to this as I just heard back from my travel agent... Royal has switched the cruise and there is no price difference or anything like that. They even are letting me get by with my pre-paid gratuities. So all in all there are no complaints on my end! We paid for 7 nights and are getting 14! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeW Posted November 29, 2022 #19 Share Posted November 29, 2022 TAs that don't go through Iceland/Greenland do tend to be cheaper per day but sounds like you are getting a great deal. I don't see the TA appearing for sale yet but likely they are still working out details and arrangements for folks booked on the non-TA cruises. Hmm - we don't have April 2024 planned yet... You will NOT be the only ones on the ship (although they could remove some of the performers before the cruise depending on where they need them).

wreckem2013 Posted November 29, 2022 #20 Share Posted November 29, 2022 12 to 14 day TAs can often be as cheap or cheaper than a 7 day Caribbean. Just look At Symphony’s TA in March 2023. 12 nights for $428 per person for an inside cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
