Eight crew tested positive for Covid, they were vaccinated but these cases were before the vaccine was fully effective. Disappointed. Yes, we heard the news, while we were visiting our son in LA. Had been so excited that our Brilliance/then Independance/then turned into the first sailing of the Odyssey july3! Later, we were given a sub offer for several sailings thru Dec'21, (not on Odyssey), and we cant use them, so are getting the refund. But the worst thing was that we never got an email, as usual, that our cruise was canceled. Found out thru a you tube cruise video, then on TV, & cruise critic. But still had a good Carnival casino offer, so we booked it for July4. Carnival is doing 95% vaccinated- so no test cruise needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandebeach Posted June 26, 2021 #4102 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I am on Freedom July 12. People on social media just posted updated protocols for the July 3rd Freedom cruise, and one of them is that, due to physical constraints, the casino will be open to vaccinated guests only. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdfdk Posted June 27, 2021 #4104 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Does anyone have a copy of the casino certificate given now on adventure ? Saw on youtube that the list was much longer than normal 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vera/Lee Posted June 30, 2021 #4105 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I had booked a complimentary cabin on Rhapsody for a May sailing next year and upgraded it to a JS. Yesterday I was informed that is was canceled. I called today and changed it to Indy for October of next year for about the same price for one less day. I'm very happy with this change! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasreb Posted August 4, 2021 #4106 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Just had my 7 day balcony and $175 FP get canceled. Replacement offer is much less. A lot of short sailings. No FP. Any 7 days were mostly insides. Just had a friend complete a 7 day out of Florida on MSC or Celeb. I forgot which one. Could not get off ship at Cozumel. Could get off at Costa Maya but not much open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFerrington Posted August 4, 2021 #4107 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I had my 10-30-21 Vision out of San Juan cancelled yesterday. The casino rep told me that they would not shift the cruise (price protect) but that I would receive the original offer back. I guess we'll see....nothing on the ClubRoyalOffers yet.

On www.clubroyaleoffers.com I put in my last name and the reservation numbers that were cancelled and I can see the list of replacement cruises that I could choose from. It's a long list. Cruises from 3 to 5 nights from October until February or March. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garmy4 Posted August 5, 2021 #4110 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I also had two Rhapsody cruises from March 19 & March 26 that replacements were offered for. But my offers were only for Oct of 2021, 5 months before my original sail dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFerrington Posted August 5, 2021 #4111 Share Posted August 5, 2021 The list for replacement cruises for our cancelled Oct Vision comp is pretty lengthy but there are few 7-nighters. Unless I’m willing to fly to Galveston or Barbados, the options are limited to 3-4-5 nighters. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have 4 cruises booked. 2 Royal and 2 Carnival. Had a Florida friend sail a week ago. Celebrity I think. 7 nights. Got off at Costa Maya. It was mostly closed. Not allowed off at Cozumel. They were vaxed folks. Said they liked the ship, and buffet. But only got off at the one port. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course things change daily now, so we will see how it goes on the Allure next week. Our ports are Cozumel, Costa Maya, Roatan and Perfect Day at Coco Cay. Pretty sure we will be able to get off for the last port! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daghis Posted August 18, 2021 Author #4118 Share Posted August 18, 2021 This seems like a reasonable enough place to post this even though it's not a cruise offer. I noticed today that Club Royale has added a couple new perks: 5) Art credits vary by tier level and may not be combined with any other Park West promotion. Credit amount offered is a bid credit equal to dollars off toward a single qualifying purchase, applicable to one (1) purchase per voyage. No minimum purchase necessary. 6) Onboard credit amount varies based on voyage duration: $50 on 3-4 night sailings, $75 on 5-6 night sailings, and $100 on 7+ night sailings. Onboard credit is applied directly to your onboard expense account. Credit is non-cashable. The art gallery credit is interesting, especially since the art auctions are maskless zones (vaccinated guests only). I guess Park West suffered quite a bit during the pandemic and they're probably sponsoring this deal figuring that the higher-tier casino members are likely to contribute enough extra dollars for the sake of art acquisition to make this offer worthwhile. Still, $1000 off with no minimum purchase necessary? Except for shipping and handling, it could be free art. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess the Pinnacles aren't the only ones getting shunned. Won't directly affect me but I would be bending over backwards to get the high bankroll gamblers back on the boats. To your point, Park West will enjoy the steam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daghis Posted August 25, 2021 Author #4120 Share Posted August 25, 2021 On 1/23/2021 at 1:44 PM, Daghis said: I used two offers for free junior suite cruises on Oasis of the Seas out of New York in September. The offers arrived separately, and I noticed that the second offer happened to have the following week listed, so we booked it. Each offer was upgraded to a grand suite, and we're in the same cabin both sailings. I was most surprised about the first offer. It's sailing over Labor Day. Well, it's 11 days until sailing, and so far, it's still happening! I found that RCI still has the offer online (looks like you can substitute in any offer code into the URL) from which I had booked the first of these two cruises. Of the four ships and twenty-six sailings listed, only three sailings on just one ship are actually happening. And, despite those odds, I happened to pick the first of those three back on November 19. I'm feeling very fortunate to be able to go on this cruise. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine3601 Posted August 27, 2021 #4121 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Saw the new balcony offers last night, code 21OND303 for sailings Oct thru Dec. We prefer not to fly to FL during the holiday season so we may book one of the Anthem sailings for November. But I am skeptical the Anthem will return to the states this winter. I don't know why but I feel like they will keep her in Europe for winter and use the Oasis out of Bayonne for winter sailings. Which would be just fine with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am probably wrong as John pointed out Central park wouldn't hold up well in the winter on Oasis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
