Billy Baltic Posted September 23, 2020 #301 Share Posted September 23, 2020 We had a 10 might Iberian peninsula cruise on JOS cancelled in Sept 21. The email talks about listening to feedback and market reach. Anyone know the real reason for the changes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMILLER4292 Posted September 23, 2020 #302 Share Posted September 23, 2020 We had lifted and shifted from a 11/20 Rhapsody to a 10/21 Jewel TA when the November cruise got cancelled. Being booked in a RS doing lift and shift was difficult to keep the same category..now that one is cancelled too...this is starting to get ridiculous.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First the "feedback & market research" stuff, then it drifts into "public health, science and engineering...". Huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now we will be sailing on Independence on Independence Day. 🙂 I didn’t think of that! That is actually pretty cool!

They are only offering $100 OBC for Interior/Oceanview and $200 OBC for Balcony/Suite if we transfer to another ship by October 31, 2020. Not really a big incentive, in my opinion, to transfer the reservation. Most my Canceled Cruises, no OBC offered. Think only one of 10 and that's if I pick the only Alt offered by them Edited September 23, 2020 by ONECRUISER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emilysmimi Posted September 23, 2020 #309 Share Posted September 23, 2020 My Nov 2021 Beantown to Beaches cruise has been canceled. I went to look for an alternative but it looks like they are pulling out of Boston completely. Boston isn’t listed as a port anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it's what I posted: 1 hour ago, andreasfcb said: Reading into the matter, I now understand their plan is to reduce the length of the individual cruises. From their point of view it is less likely that people get sick onboard of a < 7 night cruise if you consider the incubation time. This must be why they canceled the Jewel cruises (mostly 12 nighters) and also the Adventure ones. They moved Adventure to the Mediterranean for very short cruises. Speaking about the Baltics cruise, I imagine that they will cancel the Russian ports due to travel restrictions. It is much easier to travel within EU borders these days.

emilysmimi Posted September 24, 2020 #313 Share Posted September 24, 2020 In doing a little detective work, I see that the first cruise in Miami is Nov 20, 2021. Is it wishful thinking that they may do a repositioning cruise from Boston to Miami Nov 7 - 20, 2021? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erinsmom03 Posted September 24, 2020 #314 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Okay, my email from RCL makes me so mad! Their offer is ridiculous... shouldn't we be getting 125% FCC offer since our cruise is completely cancelled? They are offering a full refund, thank goodness... and a lousy $200 OBC if we book another European cruise that sails by the end of October 2021. Not cool! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect RCI already had too many FCCs out there and not enough cruises to apply them to. The October 31 date is the deadline next month to book a new cruise in order to get the OBC.

So I had to learn a new way of doing things while planning that cruise. Everything went so well... I pulled off booking the rooms we wanted before you could book them online. Oh well... on to the next adventure right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnjen Posted September 24, 2020 #322 Share Posted September 24, 2020 There goes our cruise, June 21st, Baltic. Cancelled. Actually breathed a sigh of relief although I was a bit surprised from the email. Getting a full refund. I think we're done with cruising for at least another two years. But HOPEFULLY we will be able to at least travel to the UK instead where I will visit my father in Scotland and start the search for where we are to retire. So far it's Devon or the Welsh coast, so....cheers everyone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suncoastsailors Posted September 24, 2020 #323 Share Posted September 24, 2020 5/23 Adventure of Seas....Ship change to Jewel. Ports changed from Stockholm, St Petersburg, Tallinn to Helsinki, Tallinn and Visby. For this we receive $50 OBC. I am thinking cancel, but I would be interested in other opinions since I have not been to any of these ports. Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they were when our May 3, 2020 was cancelled. We were offered 125% FCC and took it, applied it to a 2021 cruise then did a L/S to 2022. Worked out great for our extended family group of 10....3 cabins so we went from the original JS's to three one bedroom GS's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
