Our unique and exciting cruise from Singapore to Dubai has been replaced with a shorter less interesting cruise 2 months earlier :mad:

 

Looks like a land based holiday for us - when RC finally have the courtesy to inform us that they've cancelled our cruise.

Would Celebrity Constellation not fill the gap?

 

We are waiting the next release of "X" itineraries with bated breath, to book Connie for 2019 b2b Singapore/Abu Dhabi/Rome, as long as the itineraries are still the same.

Thanks for the suggestion and the itinerary is almost identical so would have been fantastic, but unfortunately the dates are a full month earlier and impossible to do due to work commitments :(

Still possible if you don't do the b2b. There are excellent coach links between Abu Dhabi and Dubai. A simple google search should throw up plenty of leads.

There is a difference between "time to time" and two 180 degree swings in under three months. Rhapsody was going to Europe 4/2017. That was cancelled March 2016, the ship was redeployed to Cape Liberty for the summer season 2017. Now, it is being deployed to Europe for 2017. That is a large number of people to inconvenience. One would have thought this decision could have been made 10 weeks ago.

 

Wasn't Rhapsody supposed to go to Port Canaveral at one time too?

Rhapsody 9/20 Canada/NE is not showing sold out on RCI website but 9/8, 10/1 and 10/11 are. We're booked on 9/8 and 9/20. Tried to put a hold on one of the Vision sailings but can't. :confused:

Got an email from our TA that she forwarded from RCI. Rhapsody 9/7 has been cancelled but no mention of 9/20. I'm going to assume that will be the next email. lol

 

Asked her to book us on the Vision cruises and hopefully get the same cabin.

Shifted.

 

We were on 9/20/17 on the Rhapsody, and when I logged in this morning, we were already booked on the Vision.

 

Very different cabin, but because of the change, the cabin we wanted on the Rhapsody was available, so we got it.

 

Thanks to Comcast, we don't get marketing e-mails from RCI, so I had to reply on this board. So thanks for helping us get a better cabin than we started with.
