Rare island lady Posted March 25, 2020 #26 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I have Grandeur 6/11 nine night NE/Canada cruise booked and still showing as itinerary scheduled, and in fact still taking reservations for this cruise. Yeah, right...like that is going to happen! With coming from Baltimore and not being able to go to Canada, PVSA comes into play here. If they reroute to Bermuda to pick up required foreign port of call, then still do NE...fine with me. Just waiting for them to cancel it. If they pull the Nassau/Coco Cay stunt...will have to cancel on my own. I can go there from my local port on 3/4 night for half the price. 🤨 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyIL Posted March 25, 2020 #28 Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) My guess is that the May 15 Adventure cruise will be cancelled. However - the ship could go to Bermuda or the Bahamas in 6 days. Edited March 25, 2020 by NancyIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Adventure of the Seas sailings from April 5th ending May 15th (B5B)...cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go on their website. It is still showing as available, still showing the Canada/NE itinerary...and still taking bookings. No official email from RCI that the June 11th sailing is cancelled. Their lack of correct information about this cruise is getting very annoying to those of us waiting for the answers.

Did I get an email, as others have, that their cruise is cancelled? No, nada, zip. Until then I can't cancel my flights or apply for the NCC to be able to schedule something else.

Bookster99 Posted March 25, 2020 #37 Share Posted March 25, 2020 We are cruising at the very end of June and into July. Still a very good chance that this will be cancelled, i think. We usually book direct, but for this time we used a travel agent. I am very glad. She's checking on all the updates for us, so we'll know. If it's cancelled, that's OK. We understand. Will probably take the FCC if that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LINana Posted March 25, 2020 #38 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I booked 4 cabins for July 15, 2020 New England/Canada cruise for a family vacation (recently widowed after 40 years). Total non-refundable deposit paid to date is $3750 with a final balance of $23,000 due by April 16. Can I cancel and get my deposit back now. Although very disappointed as our family needed this getaway, I’ve had half my lung removed 3 months ago and in a compromised condition at this point and not willing to risk it. Thanks.

I have a June 11th Grandeur NE/Canada cruise that still shows going to Canada...yeah right. And still taking bookings. 😮 Canada is not allowing any cruise ship to come into their country until at least after July 1st. With PVSA rules, the ships originating out of the US have to call on at least one foreign country. Not gonna happen on your cruise or mine.

gold Posted March 26, 2020 #43 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Missed cruising by one day. We'll take 125% FCC and 125% credit for my Cruise Planner purchases for our May 11 booking. I'm not in a hurry to book another cruise in the next 20 months. I have a feeling that there will be plenty of cabins available whenever I decide to book.Will they transfer the cruise planner credit to your next sailing or is it an open credit?Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I am hoping they do. Go to Bermuda and then the NE ports, or vice versa. The alternating 5 night goes to Bermuda only...so not uncommon for them to do that. However, 9 night cruises on Grandeur after our cruise sail date ....starts going to Bermuda, Nassau, and Coco Cay. Ugg...if I wanted that ...I would stay home and take a 3/4 night cruise for half the money. That cruise route is nothing close to being a "NE/Canada" cruise.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Looks like the Cruise Planner Credit goes to whatever reservation for which you use your FCC. The Letter from Royal: If you purchased Cruise Planner Items… You can opt-in to receive an Onboard Credit in the value of 125% of the total Cruise Planner purchases on your reservation.

P_and_L Posted March 26, 2020 #48 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Their extended suspension says New England cruises are cancelled until July 1. Does that include the Oasis departures in June from NJ that don't have a Canadian stop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
