Jewel of the seas redeployed

[Cobaltstargazer]

I got an email this week from RCI letting me know that the Jewel has been redeployed so no cruise for me. We booked in October for a short 4 day cruise from Rome on the 17th August.

Luckly it was part of a driving holiday, so no flights etc to cancel. But hotel bookings and an apartment booked were all centred around the cruise departure.

Anyway a bit more planning to do now as we have got 4 days to fill now, only bonus is not doing the drive from lake garda to Rome.

My guess would be that the ship has been chartered, not redeployed to another itinerary. The cruises around yours are still available for booking, but 17 August is showing "closed." Enjoy Italy!:)

I had 2 rooms on this sailing too, and got the email. RCI says its because they chose to cancel it and use it for another 7-day sailing elsewhere. Too bad they chose not to offer any price protected rooms, as i'm right now stuck as I initially had an SI, and now have to face $1k extra in room costs). Unfortunately, I think they're hoping everyone just cancels outright based on the options provided.

We cancelled although no refund as yet. Really disappointed with rci. As I said in my email to them, instead of them planning what I could do when they knew it was cancelled, they should have informed passengers at the earliest opportunity. Also compensation was non existent.
