I agree with post 9. 
 

If price reduced lift and shift and get the price protection.

I will be surprised if RCI handles sailings any differently than the other cruise lines unless they see a benefit to it.  They have to start making money somehow and if the consensus is to require a vaccine in order to start, that's how they will proceed.  As long as the sailing makes money in the short term, they will always be able to adjust requirements in the long term in order to increase passenger load.  You have to make it through the short term before you can get to the long term and I don't know how much longer they can go without sailing in the short term.

 

There is no website that says the vaccine is 100% effective and none of the makers have ever claimed so.  The studies indicate it is effective enough to reduce the number of deaths and severe cases while getting us to herd immunity (If there will ever truly be immunity.  I'm not remotely intelligent or well versed enough in that field to know).  There are already break through cases being reported from vaccinated individuals and that was expected. 

 

By requiring the vaccine to sail, RCI is effectively setting up a safety net should a breakout occur.  They can fall back on the fact that they followed all guidelines and required all passengers to be vaccinated.   I'm sure it also gives credibility to their commitment to address the pandemic in the eyes of the CDC when it comes to sailing out of US ports as well.  

 

 

Agreed. I think they also are going with the rational that vaccinations are designed to prevent death or severe illness. Vaccines do not prevent you from necessarily catching it.

in the case that a passenger does get diagnosed onboard it would less likely result in an emergency evac for the person infected reducing disruption to the cruise.

As a side note it will be interesting to see any travel insurance requirements to board. I know P&O require all guests to be vaccinated and a minimum of £2million coverage for Covid. Failure to produce proof of coverage at port will result in denial of boarding at your own expense.

Over the past 3 months at least refunds have been processed much quicker than the FCC's.  I had my refund for our cancelled Christmas cruise 8 days after they announced the cancellation

I love how they can’t do things in order still! Our November cruise was cancelled and moved to next December. As it was a casino cruise they said they had to reimburse all the money then we’d have to pay it off again as they couldn’t move the funds even though price protected. Had port fees back a while ago no sign of the rest of it was told would take 45 days!

i expected it to be quicker seeing as we have to pay it back to them,,!

We had spring break booked for March. We had been debating moving it then our DD college pushed Spring Break back to April so we pulled the plug and did a L&S to next year. 

Thoroughly expecting our January cruises to be cancelled just wish they’d do it sooner rather than later.

I doubt that that really makes much of a difference. With Disney's following, I think they could easily find enough passengers, especially at a reduced capacity.

Possibly but not a cruise we would go on even if it was cheap.

Geared towards families, yes, but the reality is there are many couples and singles onboard also.  If they really thought they could cruise, they would rework their activities.  Royal will be cancelling til at least Dec soon too.

I get that they would if they could. However Universal opened their parks sometime before Disney. The same argument could be said that they could have opened at the same time. 

I just personally don’t see all cruise lines starting back at the same time.

I’m trying to remain optimistic. Disney is geared towards younger (children) whose families go for the Disney experience. Meet and greets, group activities etc. 

i think the the general type of cruisers this is geared to make Disney slightly harder to start back up.

I am running out of ideas on how to get my money back for 2 cancelled shore excursions that I cancelled on 22nd of May😞.

 

I have called Royal Caribbean three time but I am getting nowhere.

 

Start of July I called Royal Caribbean :

Customer service said, "The refund failed we will process the refund again should be in your account within 7 working days".

 

... 7 days later no refund. so, I call them up again.

Customer service said, "Refunds take 3 weeks to process".

 

3 weeks later still no refund.

 

I have contacted them again and customer service said, "This refund will take another 45 days to process".

 

Anyone else having the same issues with refunds like this?

 

(I have been waiting for  90 days+)

Try calling post cruise number. 

If if that doesn’t work posting on their Facebook page normally gets a prompt response.

My dd is about to start at UCF and is moving into dorms. I know they are cleaning but she wants enough to clean it down when she moves in. 😉

I am the shopper for 3 households due to covid and parents and in laws staying in.  I look for lysol or any disinfectant spray wherever I go.  I have always used lysol as  regular part of my cleaning and other than insane prices online no stores here in bucks county pa or at shore house in LBI NJ have had it.   Crazy!  Guess I should have bought stock in cleaning products!!  They must be booming.

Target I am able to get everyday if I am there before 8 am. Even had some left at 10am the other day 😱

Yeah.  It will be interesting to see how long RCL and the others wait.  Give Princess credit for making a decision and letting people know before some of the final payments come due.

 

December 15 will be NINE MONTHS.  Unreal.

I’m not giving Princess any credit. Only good thing is people don’t have to pay them more money. 

We we are still battling them for thousands they owe us that we have been waiting well over 90 days now.

Metallic dog = Liberty.

 

IIRC, it’s outside the Cafe Promenade, by the casino railing.

From recollection the Dogs on Freedom class at top of Casino stairs are more like pitbulls, I think there are dogs on all promenade casino entrances,  leaning towards one of the Voyager class ships, but don't know which one 🙂

This one is on Liberty
