More than likely we will find out something at the same time as you since we are both headed north. I am wearing out my email expecting to hear something from RCCL. Nothing yet, so we will pack our suitcases and move forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get on where the train originates at Roanoke, Va. Didn't want to hassle with Air Flights, etc. Always delayed for one reason or another. Arriving about 2:15 pm from Boston. I would rather take a train anytime. Edited September 12, 2023 by roomba920 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be disappointing to miss the ports one has booked for, but there is still a cruise. Sorry, I should've been clearer. I meant if the passenger chooses to cancel.

Was that the Vision's original itinerary? That is a huge change, and yes, I wouldn't be happy either. I hope they're given the option to cancel.

merryjewelhound Posted September 12, 2023 #83 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Yes, here is more info. The decision to modify our itinerary was not taken lightly. We’ve done everything possible to minimize the impact to your time with us, and we’re terribly sorry for the inconvenience. To help make up for these changes, we’re providing you with a 1-day refund in the form of an Onboard Credit if you sail. This credit will be automatically placed in your SeaPass account. We understand how much effort and time goes into planning your vacation. If you decide to cancel your sailing, we’ll be sad to see you go, but we will provide a full refund, including non-refundable deposits. So instead of sweaters and long pants for Canada. I need to repack for the south 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azipod issues. Almost a free cruise. They screwed up on the pricing and we got a balcony for $728 taxes included Canadian (and honoured it) and then got $400 usd OBC for being a bit late to a few ports....the good old days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiseorcamp Posted September 13, 2023 #95 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Not what I WANTED to hear, but not expected. I do not like those ports. Been there, done that too many times. My DH was super excited about his whale excursion. Sad that it isn't happening. Our discussion is that he said we should proceed after unpacking and repacking Mine is: let's take the credit and stay home. Nope...we are going. Ugh Anyone have experience with ensuring that any onboard credit from our credit cards is used first? I do not think they are refundable. Thank you. See you onboard??

No worries about using nonrefundable obc first. .. though it doesnt seem to me they are being generous. You can cash out unused obc in the casino anyway.
