Icesk8rReedy Posted April 13, 2020 #3 Share Posted April 13, 2020 It was inevitable. I also think Royal will follow suit. IMHO, I think we won't be sailing until late to July at the earliest. I think there will be one more round of suspensions. But the only way to know for sure is to wait and see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilkySal Posted April 13, 2020 #4 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Just got this off their web site: CANCELED CRUISES As the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve, we regret to inform our guests that Carnival Cruise Line is having to cancel the following sailings: All ships sailings through and including June 26, 2020 All San Francisco sailings through 2020 All Carnival Sunrise sailings through and including October 19, 2020 All Carnival Legend sailings through and including October 30, 2020 All Carnival Radiance sailings through and including November 1, 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandebeach Posted April 13, 2020 #6 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Carnival had previously canceled our June Legend TA out of New York, so I am not surprised to see this announcement. Waiting to see what Royal will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaKaye79 Posted April 13, 2020 #7 Share Posted April 13, 2020 It is nice that they go ahead and give you some advance notice. I think Royal could do a little better with providing advance notice. With the 100 day extension, it seems impossible that Royal would be able to do any sailings in May and not resume until late June. I have one booked in July and honestly, I do not think it will sail either. I have until May 5 to cancel before my final payment is due. My guess that they don't want to cancel until everyone has made their final payments so that they can keep the money and issue an FCC instead of refund. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect that you will see an announcement from Royal in the next 48 hours. Not sure why why people are reading interior motives into any cruise line not making an announcement within minutes of another cruise line. Even within Carnival Corp, Princess is not scheduled to make an announcement until tomorrow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a September cruise out of NY that I am waiting to apply my FCC (which I still have not received) from my cancelled March sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zekekelso Posted April 13, 2020 #10 Share Posted April 13, 2020 This is a good thing. Realistically, there’s no chance these ships were going to sail. Better to officially cancel so people can get refunds and plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even within Carnival Corp, Princess is not scheduled to make an announcement until tomorrow. Maybe they will make an announcement in the next few days. It doesn't matter to me personally. I was referring to the probability that Royal won't make a decision about July cruises until mid May so that they can make sure they get all of the final payments. I will make my final payment regardless because I can use the FCC on November or April. However, I know that everyone isn't in the same situation and would need to get the refund instead of making final payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I cancelled right now, I would get my $200 deposit back in a refund. If I wait until after final payment, I would get the full cruise amount credited as an FCC as long as I cancelled 48 hours before the cruise. So I was just thinking that some people might choose to get their deposit back instead of having hundreds tied up in an FCC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to do with ship specific itineraries. The Legend was doing Europe before coming back in the fall. That's not going to happen. The Radiance is an old ship that's getting a major dry dock that's going to be posponed until who knows when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RosieRoo Posted April 13, 2020 #22 Share Posted April 13, 2020 The problem with all these cancelled cruises and FCCs is some of us don’t just sail on Royal. I have cruises booked into 2022 with Celebrity, Princess, and Oceania. If you already have your vacation time planned, you can’t just throw a cruise in somewhere to use up a credit they’re only giving you basically one year to use.
