To the person who said those on Icon are those who money is no object, that is NOT true! We booked a balcony on the Inaugural when bookings opened and paid under 4500 dollars with all our taxes, port fees and drink package. The longer you waited, the higher the price went.

If you buy one alcoholic beverage package, you’ll have to buy two. That’s the way Royal keeps things in the one cabin honest. If you aren’t much of a drinker you get the Refreshment package and that will cover most without alcohol.

This is what is causing the problem. In order to do the changes and make the FCC instantly redeemable, stackable, shareable and leftover used right away they have to change everything so FCC’s now reflect as a payment which means removing them and then reapplying them thus causing the reprice on price protected bookings.
My husband has been on the phone with India--I mean Royal for 2 hours and they were useless even to explain what credits we have left and what we can apply to pay off our next cruise. The second time they hung up on HIM! There is NO way to speak to anyone in the US and no way to get help. This is all a fiasco when it comes to FCC and the limited time L&S. We are SO upset it will not make this cruising mess any better when knowledgeable people are few and far between.

Totally Confusing! We are booked on Freedom Jan 10th 2021 out of San Juan! Now what?

We too have one booked for January but will hold off on excitement when I get an all clear for cruising. Have had two cancellations already.🤷🏻♀️

Just read an article where it stated it costs approximately $174,000 per year for 2 when you add up all the expenses.

We are looking forward on getting back out there. Even if we just decide to enjoy our balcony and enjoy room service. [emoji5]

Enlighten us? Why not?
Some of us don’t take chances in that part of the world and the volatility at a minutes notice. If I need to enlighten you further, you aren’t keeping up. But please, don’t let me stop you.

Because they were not selling well. There's a reason why the last ones they did were priced so low!
Really? Would you go to that part of the world anytime soon?

Norwegian Cruise Line cancels cruises until November, one month past CDC ban. Princess through to December. Are we far behind on Royal?🤦🏻♀️

Now that The Bahamas has closed again, how does this affect cruising to Coco Cay since it is a part of the Bahamas? This will definitely affect any cruise that includes Coco?

Well now that the Bahamas has closed its country again, does this include Coco Cay too since it’s part of said country??

Yes. That happened to us. We booked a cruise for January and can’t use the rest for our next cruise in May until we finish our cruise in January!🤦🏻♀️

Just checked on our Oct 11 one out of NJ, it’s still there but even though it’s 83 days out, we can’t check in. Don’t really think it’s going to be a Go anyway. You should just go ahead and call them. Is it paid off?

No cruising in August. Hope you can reschedule. As for teens in one inside room...hope you like togetherness, it’s a bit snug for teens and parents.

Not captioned—at least when I saw Season One. It was very well dubbed. I believe it’s from Spain (so in Spanish).

I agree with you for the most part.
Some areas of the US are out of control, not all. The northeast was hit hard early on and locked down for a long time. The gradual reopening is still in process. I am in Massachusetts and we are only in the beginning of phase three, which just started this week for most of the state, with Boston starting next week. Each phase has multiple steps with two weeks between each at a minimum. People entering Massachusetts, from all but eight states, have to self quarantine for two weeks. We currently have a less than 2% positive test rate with over a million test done in our small state alone. Other states in the northeast have similar progress.
Other areas of the country are regressing. They opened too soon and too quickly and are now having ridiculously high numbers of positive cases. Until those areas get their act together, I can totally understand why there are bans against the US.
I too am from MA and agree that this state has done it right. As for the states that are in current free fall, they have given the rest of the country that’s doing well a bad rap. Those states are where our cruise ships would be so getting them under control and their “kids” to grow up and immigration may finally help control the situation. But ALL USA is not out of control.

Yes, roomates can go through the Gold line (or whichever you qualify for), with you.
I agree, if you have sailed 7 cruises, unless they were 3 - 4 night ones, you should be Platinum (30 cruise nights).
Yep first figure out how many points you have. After 7 cruises, you can be more than Gold, which everyone can be after ONE cruise.

NYC will not be back to normal by December. Not sure what you would be looking for but I would push that trip out a while.
With ALL that is going on in NYC—and not all related to cruises—I would TOTALLY rethink the whole visit until ALL is settled(if ever).

I don't believe it is true.
I believe my TA just can't be bothered. I had a similar response when I asked her about the $200 OBC I had for the cancelled booking that was from booking with Next Cruise.
I have given her three options:
- Call RC again and escalate to resolve
- Remove the FCC from our booking and reprice (not sure if this can even be done)
- I take the booking back from them and cease doing business with them.
We have been going through similar garbage with our so called TA. They ruined our 125% by advising to cancel our transatlantic too soon. Only got 100% credit. And deny ever telling us to do that! Then we missed our July payment(but fell on our sword with royal) and managed to salvage and pay off our next cruise. Needless to say we have 4 other cruises booked WITHOUT this TA’s assistance! Useless!

Unfortunately, Covid-19 really doesn't care about opinion. Opinions don't affect the actual science behind how to slow the Covid down.
Best wishes to former presidential candidate Hermann Cain who was just hospitalized with Covid-19 after testing positive on 6/29 because it was his opinion he didn't need to wear a mask at a rally in Oklahoma nine days previous.
You do realize this is CRUISE CRITIC and not POLITICAL/COVID CRITIC[emoji19]

Maybe book further out. If you have had 5 cancelled you must be booking every month.
Book later in 2021, or I to 2022, instead of months you have to know will get cancelled. I'd say good chance another round or two cancelled. If you are booking dates within the no sail order how could you not expect to be cancelled
This is what we are doing. We still have one scheduled for October but doubt it. The other 3 are scheduled throughout 2021. We shall see. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

ICON recent cruisers
in Royal Caribbean International
Posted
Icon was back in Miami at 3-3:30AM. The issue is that it has to get all the luggage, clear all customs. We got off at 7:30-7:45.
