gbenjo Posted October 25, 2020 #176 Share Posted October 25, 2020 WOW.........I understand some people being upset because their cruise has been cancelled, moved or changed but surely it is understandable that Royal and other cruise lines, considering a circumstance which was no fault of theirs, would be in a world of pain and uncertainty not knowing when where and how theIr reason for existence ,the cruise industry, will restart. The fact that they have to move ships dates or ports as circumstance dictate is not surprising and I am sure they would not just make these changes on a whim and after a year or more of no income, I cannot blame them for trying to take the best financial option, if that is the case. We on the outside are not aware of what restrictions, rules or requirements will be enforced and what those implications will mean to the cruise lines so maybe a bit of slack could be cut for them until they can sort all this out.

But graham I’ve read A report that of one person said they canceled their cruise and if they want the same suite it’s going to be a extra $US7000. That was on the Quantum repo.

They know without passengers they have no future so would not take these steps if not necessary. These are unprecedented times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had one cruise canceled and I’m pretty sure there’s another in a week or so. And then the pore old agent has to sort things out and probably doesn’t get paid for it.

Well I have emailed Miami 3 times and the response was short and positive. If you call or email sydney you are usually transferred to a overseas call centre,Philippines I think. English isn’t their first language and they usually have to ask a supervisor.Just a waste of time. The Americans are getting a onboard credit for their inconvenience . Whats the old saying,the squeaky wheel gets the oil ,or in this case the OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get all the OBC in the world but if the cruise lines cannot change their plans to adapt to what is happening in the fear that they may upset a few selfish people then there may not be any cruise lines to whinge to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugliest cat I ever saw, if I saw that on a ship I would have to throw it over the side, even if it is the Captains moggy. Bug Naked, OTT IMO.
