ILOVESHIPS Posted June 23, 2020 #1 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Has anyone heard if the Mexico Dec. cruises will be sailing on the Royal Princess. There are also a couple 10 day cruises to Mexico in Oct. and Nov. Hope they sail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INeedAMaiTai Posted June 23, 2020 #2 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I sure hope so because I'm booked on the Royal for December 3rd.... But we will see what actually happens. A lot of people are saying, "don't pack your suitcase". But I'm going to think positively. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LACruiser88 Posted June 23, 2020 #3 Share Posted June 23, 2020 We are booked for the Dec 26th México sailing on the Royal. We are praying that it is a go!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casavaha Posted June 23, 2020 #4 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I am booked on the Oct. 10 and two cruises in Dec. I guess we will have to wait until Oct. to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbinMich Posted June 25, 2020 #5 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I didn't realize that they're moving the Royal to the West Coast. We really liked her and sailed on her twice for a total of 24 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlzmom Posted June 25, 2020 #6 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Hoping, but not convinced it will happen. It will/would be our 1st Christmas cruise, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on the Royal down the Mexican coast out of LA in April 2019. LOVE that itinerary. The Royal is definitely our favorite ship in the fleet, though admittedly we haven't yet been on the Sky or Enchanted.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victory2020 Posted June 27, 2020 #11 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I read in am email from a travel agency all the start up dated for cruise lines and ports. It ha no date for Mexico opening up at this point, only that a few resorts in Cozumel were to be open in September but no dates for ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcur Posted June 30, 2020 #13 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) 7/7/20 the West Coast itineraries for late 2021 and into 2022 are coming out. In case your cruises this year are a no-go, you can see your alternative choices on July 7. I HIGHLY recommend the 10 day Mexico itinerary that goes up into the Sea of Cortez, but I don't think the Royal is doing that one. Some of the ports on the 10 day itinerary are not the usual ones, and we loved them. Also, if you leave from Los Angeles, you get less choppy coastal waters, and warmer weather. The Ruby sailing in April for 10 days is the lowest price of all the longer Mexico itineraries. Here's the link to download the spreadsheet with advance info and pricing for all the West Coastal itineraries that was posted several days ago on this board: 666166753_2021-22WESTCOASTFares1.xlsx Edited June 30, 2020 by pcur 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted June 30, 2020 #14 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) Keeping my fingers crossed but I really doubt it will be sailing until there is widespread access to a vaccine. Edited June 30, 2020 by DrivesLikeMario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUCHESSRN Posted June 30, 2020 #15 Share Posted June 30, 2020 We are on the Christmas sailing so hope it goes as we got upgraded from an inside cabin to an Aft Balcony ...what a treat that would be . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we will have to wait until Oct. to find out. We are booked on the same cruise in October. If Princess sails the West Coastal leaving October 3rd, they will be the first sailing since the stop in March. Our cruise would be the second. I haven't received any e-mail about new procedures and how it will insure/affect the passengers, or reassurance we will be sailing, or travel restrictions. I do know that Mexico is suffering because of the pandemic... And our final payment is due next month. Since our March Hawaii cruise was cancelled 5 days before embarking, and how long Carnival Corp kept our refund, I'm really hoping for some information soon, as we will have to decide what we're going to do when final payment is due. Lots of questions... No answers, but lots of questions. Hope everything works out, and I will see you on board. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie562 Posted July 2, 2020 #17 Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) Being that we are already in July and with COVID not under control and numbers keep rising here in the US, it's a very very very high possibility that there will be no cruises for the rest of the year. Mexico is not doing too good with their COVID numbers either. Edited July 2, 2020 by Georgie562 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAMarathoner Posted July 5, 2020 #18 Share Posted July 5, 2020 We're going in mid-January. Excited to be changed from Ruby to Royal, and hoping to get an upgrade due to low capacity. One thing we also noticed is that the excursions (private companies rather than booking through the cruise line) are discounted as well. Planning to use the savings for tips to the locals. We have missed cruising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pink845 Posted July 23, 2020 #20 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Princess has just cancelled all cruises up to Dec 15, 2020. We were on the Royal earlier this year out of LA to Mexico and it was fabulous. We were booked on it again for Jan 2021 but cancelled it just the other day as the numbers of COVID were rising like crazy in California and it is my guess that cruising in CA will not be back up until at least 2022 at the earliest.

casavaha Posted July 23, 2020 #21 Share Posted July 23, 2020 After today's news I booked two more Royal cruises in Jan, 2021. So I will have about 7 booked the first half of 2021. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
