Doesn't affect the vast majority of cruisers.  In the grand scheme of things, it's not a high number at all.  

 

BTW, 50+?  Someone else posted 11.

Go count them for the next year like I did.

Not including World cruise - I got 12 over the next 12 months.  World cruise adds 11 more.

I make 24 15+ night cruises in 2024, of which I am on one of them

I got the 50ish when I  searched all 14+ cruises on Royal from/to anywhere and subtracted all the 14 night ones. If your lower count makes you feel the thread doesn't matter so be it.

But isn't the RC search feature 12 night plus, not 14, so you would need to subtract the 12 and 13 nighters as well.

I didn't use RC search. Never do. Site I used is 14+.

I called yesterday about our transatlantic for October 2024 and my final payment was changed to 120 days.

Many sites will list the same cruise multiple times.  same cruise listed under transpacific and Hawaii for example

You can tweak the URL to get 15 and up though.  I get 28 via this URL: https://www.royalcaribbean.com/cruises?search=nights:gte15&icid=ctfs1_tctclp_ctf_hm_hero_3769

Simply look in the '12+' listing for the number 12, then replace with the number you want to match or exceed.  You can also choose to look for, for example, a 7-9 day cruise by picking the 6-8 day option then swapping the 6-8 for 7-9.  On ranges of dates, the hyphen will be replaced by a tilde.

It could be some of the Land & Cruise tours for Alaska are included in the count too.

 

No matter how many there are this new rule for over 15 days was brought in with great speed!

So how long before RCI lowers the number of nights threshold for this to kick in so that it will apply to many more cruises?

I didn't say this, please don't put words into my mouth.

Doesn't matter to me if you come to a different number than I do.

Unicorn year coming up due to the World Cruise segments available for booking. Even then, 50+ doesn’t sound right. 

 

I only counted 27.  Half are World Cruise segments.

Give me a 10% discount and I'll pay in full when I book.

12+ nights within 6 - 8 months is my guess.

I used the v one, so your explanation makes sense. I didn't look at anything except the # of nights when counting.

Thought that might be the one that you used...so many duplicates.  I've done the same thing when looking for cruises
