banzaii Posted October 20, 2020 #151 Share Posted October 20, 2020 13 hours ago, Chiliburn said: The way I read it booking made before today? Thats 4 points a night if you have a suite. Couple of things: 1. 2x applies to all eligible sailings - what are eligible sailings? 2. In the past when they apply double points, a suite only generated 3 points. Logic was that a suite gives you 1 point per night plus 1 bonus point per night. 2x only doubles the point per night then adds the bonus points = 3 points per night.

Chiliburn Posted October 21, 2020 Author #152 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I appear Royal Caribbean has announced for 21/22 season that Quantum is going to Brisbane and will be doing Radiance cruises. Sydney gets Ovation and serenade (serenade is still in the Caribbean) and Radiance goes to the Caribbean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got an email this morning, my April 2022 Transpacific Sydney to Honolulu on Quantum has been cancelled 😭😭 why would they not run it out of Brisbane? Would it not be returning to US?

If I cruise again I’d probably look at them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenixxx Posted October 23, 2020 #164 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Quantum Transpacific April 2022 is now sailing out of Brisbane instead of Sydney. My Cruise has been cancelled. No option offered to still sail with the different departure port. You have to make a new booking, price is now NZD2200 MORE than I paid. Or I can sail on Ovation out of Sydney for $2800 more! This can only be a money grabbing exercise. I am disgusted by this. So angry😡😡 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been less than impressed with a few companies behaviour over cancellations, taking forever to cancel (ie waiting till after final payment) and then forever and a day to refund and crazy high prices on future cruises. Sure they are probably haemorrhaging money, but so are many of us whose money they are hanging onto. Wonder if cruisers will remember this once Covid is behind us.

I would also write to someone in charge. They are burning good will. People won't forget this price gouging in relation to cancellation of cruises when departure port is changed from Sydney to Brisbane. Is it the same cruise, except from Brisbane?
