Royal Caribbean suspends cruises through May 12

[ZoeyVictoria]

Royal Caribbean just extended the suspension until May 12.  Do you think Carnival will follow suit?

Yes but they might be the last to announce it.

I would be surprised if one of the big 3 started before the others.  A week either way of course.

I would think it's inevitable.

I agree.  Up until this point I thought it was highly probable.

 

Now it remains to be seen what they will offer to cruisers on newly cancelled cruises.  This is why I think the announcement should be made as soon as possible.

I've got a cruise booked for the end of April, so I am holding out to see if they will offer the same $600 on board credit they did to the previous cancelled cruises.

It won't be long because you can no longer book cruises through the first week in May. I just tried to book several different ones and they all say unavailable

Just tried as well and received the same "unavailable" message.

Thank you!  I just tried some random dates.  April 20-something showed an error message, as did May 3.  May 15 was available to be booked.

[angiem0217]

yes it look like the date is the same as Royal Carribbean.

I was looking at AUg and those also showed an error message.  Hope its just because they are updating the site!

I just tried an August sailing of the Paradise that I have been watching.  It was available to be booked and $20 cheaper than last night.  The final page in the booking process has been changed since last night and is much nicer.  It seems odd that they would select this particular time to update their website, but it looks like that might be the case.

 

I checked our May 3 sailing again, still showing unavailable.

[saintsfan777]

I am booked on the Paradise on 4/30. Just tried to do a mock booking on the Paradise out of Tampa and the earliest date was 6/11.

Well, there goes my May 9th Panorama cruise. Bummer. Hopefully, my October 25th Horizon Cruise will be a go.

Where are those who were so sure just a day ago that they’d be sailing here in a few weeks ......???? Pretty quiet now or a changed tune. 

[FLAlaska]

Celebrity follows suit

Just my opinion I don’t think cruises will start back until Aug or sept. My son and some family and his friends have one july 18. I have the Mardi Gras booked for December 12 I don’t think the ship will be ready so looking now for another option just in case.

Yes because Celebrity is owned by Royal C.

Did you see my post on this topic regarding NCL?

Unless something dramatically bad happens, not a chance.

Not sure how long as this started last night, but if you are flying down to FL from the Tri-state area, you go into a mandatory self-quarantine.

 

"Starting today, passengers arriving into FL from the New York Tri-State area (Connecticut, New Jersey and New York) must self-quarantine for 14 days due to COVID-19, according to @GovRonDeSantis Executive Order.

Well, that’s quite the inciteful post, but I’ll bite...

 

Still here - quietly watching all the dogmatic posts about this virus.

 

Still have the Horizon booked for April 18 - Not planning to cancel.   I’ll (hopefully) take my FCC/OBC and apply it to my December booking. Also have a cruise booked next April, so not worried about cruising again.

 

Still washing my hands and avoiding sick people.
