Yes this is my understanding as well. Atlas will now do at no charge the PCR test at the airport. 

Awesome thorough review! Thank you for sharing.

Agree, having both at the same time is very rare,

Are your bookings cross referenced with each other?

Slight Clarification. RCI didn't put their employees on a ship to make sure they are out of harms way. They put them all on a ship to make sure they are there and available for work the minute the port re-opens and allows ships back in. Otherwise they would have employees evacuated out of state that may not be able to get back for many days after the port is opened again. It's not done in the interest of their employee's well being. It is done in the financial interest of the company, as is every single decision they make these days.

Has anyone had any luck getting their FCC released? I was scheduled for the 9/9 Harmony. I'm not taking the chance on the Tuesday shortened cruise, but want to rebook on 9/30, but they haven't released the future cruise credit yet and will make me pay out of pocket if I try to rebook before they release the credits. I have a hold on 2 cabins jntil Friday morning hoping that they are released by then, but I am sure the home offices will have to close to evacuate. I just want to ensure I have these cabins secured. Frontier let me move my flights free of charge but they had to take place within 30 days of the original flights. I was hoping RCCL would at least extend the hold on the cabins until the FCC are released, but they aren't .

I would ask for a supervisor.

BOGO seems to live forever however every few days there is a smaller sale that may bring an OBC. If you are unsure just book refundable fare and change when you are ready (unless booking suites).

I don't believe there would be a fee for changing to a refundable fare either, though not sure why anyone would do that.

I am not sure one would be able to move from nrf to refundable. Anyone who would want to cancel would just do that and would hence cancel the purpose of the cruise line benefitting from nrf.

 

You would get OBC if you booked on board.

I believe all 2018/2019 dates get an OBC regardless of where you book if you take the non-refund option.

But it's a number that changes based on the fares... the fare is slightly higher today than it was when I rebooked, and as such, if I rebooked today (same category cabin), the tax would be about $10 higher ...

Taxes can change based on differing port charges to the cruise lines. Sometimes taxes go down because a port charges the same rate per vessel. The higher occupancy the more to spread the port charge or "tax".

I hadn't heard about the new deposit system so I was disappointed when my TA tried to move a cruise we had planned from Feb. 2018 to March 2019. She was told when she called that only the non refundable option was available for the cruise I was looking at.

I received a call and the agent mentioned people cancelling suites at final payment and guests complaining not enough suites available for purchase.

Slight change in itinerary I heard.

Just scored a free child rate on a Labor Day on Oasis. Person said its limited to Oasis select September dates. I'll take it!

the split of JSs on Oasis ships appears to be doubles and quad cabins.

My understanding is that in the categories the odd number denotes a cabin for 3 or more people. An even number denotes cabin for 2. On Oasis, looks like they put neighborhood views (no balcony) in same category.

Are the A3's on Harmony anywhere near as big as the brochures say they are?

A3 are larger on Harmony versus Oasis or Allure because Harmony was built with them whereas on Oasis and Allure they were added during drydock.

An upcoming B2B in Navigator?? What awesome ports you will be spending your time at!

My guess is if they moved you so close to departing there likely was a reason. Did your room hold 4 people?

The rooms still exist you would likely just have to buy each one separately - a junior suite, a balcony and a studio in numerical order.

Thanks Britian!

Anyone currently sailing on Oasis, Allure and Harmony have updates on the 3 ships meeting up for photo op?

My understanding is all ships will be getting scrubbers and it will take a few years and be done in phases. With that in mind, I do believe there will be cosmetic updating and they will not stay this look.

Just logged in to look at the GGG sale and it says there is none:eek:

 

Logged out and checked one of the sailings on the flyer. The 10/14 EN sailing has a JS listed on the flyer for $549. The price on the RCL website WITHOUT logging in for a JS on that sailing is $499.

Sounds like they decided to go lower since printing flyer. Great price!

Looks like quite a few cruises on this week's sale!
