Empehi Posted May 20, 2020 #103 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Hopefully this has not come up in discussion. I have a one week cruise from San Juan to the ABC islands the week after Thanksgiving this year. I don't want to cruise until next year and want to L & S this cruise but the only exact cruise is the week after Thanksgiving, Dec 26, and late Jan & Feb in 2022. A week before the L & S was announced I booked a cruise on RCL for the week after Thanksgiving thus eliminating this date from the L & S. So what do you think Royal will do. I booked the cruise on board and have a great fare and an on board booking bonus. Want to keep the benefits .... any ideas? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaniDanielle Posted May 20, 2020 #112 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Thank you both. Maybe we will switch now and delay final payment. I thought we had to make final payment before we could switch. Now my head hurts🥴 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard54 Posted May 20, 2020 #113 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I was able to change a Western Caribbean to Eastern Caribbean. I have heard that some have not been able to do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meekomist Posted May 21, 2020 #114 Share Posted May 21, 2020 It’s such a dilemma to do it or not. I think we are getting closer to doing L&S for Sep 4 Alaska. Trying to make the decision before final payment due. My mom was like, we could switch it, then if cruising starts up again, just do a last minute this year...

Rare little britain Posted May 21, 2020 #115 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Have they stopped the general ability to L&S?? Lift and Shift (Only available for sailings cancelled as part of our global suspension on May 20th, 2020) : If you prefer to move your existing booking to a 2021 sailing – we’re happy to move you! We will price protect the original pricing and/or promotion on the same itinerary, length, product, and stateroom category as your original sailing within 4 weeks (before or after) of the original sail date in 2021. For example, if you are moving from a July 30th, 2020 sailing, you can move to a sailing that is the same itinerary, length, product, and stateroom category, and the sail date between June 30th, 2021 – August 30th, 2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5girlscruise Posted May 21, 2020 #116 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Have 2connecting rooms on Symphony 9/16/20 that we tried to do L&S on but they have recategorized the same rooms to a different category so they are saying we have to switch to different rooms and of course there are no connecting rooms at the category level we have to switch to. It’s about $600 more per room. We are switching to same time frame 2021, same itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would call back and try again. they are allowing people to keep the same staterooms for categories that have been eliminated ( going from a 8D to a 4D). This is really no different. if you are in balconies the balcony dividers can also be opened so they kind of connect that way as well.

Happy Days! Hi, Quick question. Did you have a comp room or a $ off? I just got off the phone with Club Royale and was told they wouldn’t L&S my comp cabins (hubby has one also, 3 in each room). On my cancellation letter it says “all promotions”. Not sure if I should try and call again or just get refund. Would prefer L&S. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis#1 Posted May 21, 2020 #124 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Success in using the L&S program. My initial reservation for my free Pinnacle Cruise was on March 14, 2020 (Symphony) with an ocean view balcony stateroom. The cruise was cancelled, and I rescheduled to a January 2021 cruise on the Rhapsody, and paid $500 more to upgrade to a Jr. Suite. Yesterday I did a L&S to a February 2022 cruise on the Rhapsody (both cruises were 7 nights and I got the same J3 Jr. Suite category). There was no additional cost for the new cruise (except taxes & fees were $3 more). Received an e-mail from RCCL confirming the change within 10 minutes.

bamdoo Posted May 21, 2020 #125 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I have a cruise booked with a refundable deposit in March 2021. If I lift and shift it to March 2022 does it remain a refundable deposit? Thanks in advance for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
