I’m actually hoping that they require vaccinations and Canada will allow us to dock. But, we could go anywhere and I’d be happy just sailing.

I hope they can change to 7 / 7 sailings. I’m on the 9 night and would rather lose 2 nights than the whole cruise. Of course the optimal solution is for the CDC to allow the 9 nights. I think you will also have a problem with Bermuda allowing cruise ships to dock. Have you read the Bermuda governments requirement for travel?

Just cancelled a May cruise, need the positive thoughts on September. We can go south, even if that means Nassau, my least favorite port. I just want to be somewhere with someone else cooking and cleaning. We should be vaccinated by then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFerrington Posted January 26, 2021 #30 Share Posted January 26, 2021 To the original topic, it was reported on our Roll Call thread that the 13 November 2021 Allure 8 night is being shortened to 7 nights, now departing on 14 November. This is disappointing news for those of us on this cruise but probably good news as they did not cancel the cruise outright ! Since this one was after the 11-1-21 cut-off date for not allowing cruises longer than 7 nights, I had hoped that it would survive, but apparently it won't. Hopefully it indicates that they are beginning to finalize some of the "loose ends" and getting ready to set a date for cruising to re-start.

Ginlyn Posted January 26, 2021 #31 Share Posted January 26, 2021 What do people now think will happen in regards to transatlantic cruises that sail before November 1st? We did a L & S to the Odyssey TA scheduled to depart Civi on October 28th. My feeling is it won’t be sailing on that date 🤷♀️. As well, here in Canada, between delays in vaccinations and non essential travel restrictions that could be put in place, one does wonder if travelling will even be easily doable by fall.

The same as after, they will sail, if at all, without paying passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are also on the September FOS 9-day Canada/New England cruise. Most of the other FOS sailings are 5-day or 4-day cruises. I'm also hoping that they'll change our sailing to 7 days. It's not worth driving up to NJ for a 4 or 5 day trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you. We booked this for the same reasons as you, not going to be happy with that 7 night itinerary. We haven't cancelled, but don't like the alternatives, but holding out hope for something different than PC - Nassau - CoCo Cay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellwingri Posted February 8, 2021 #36 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I’m booked on 8 day Independence cruises in July and in August. Alternating weeks are 6 days. It would be easy to change all of the cruises to 7 days like Celebrity did 2 months ago. They gave a 1 day refund to those who were originally booked on the 8 day that were changed to 7 days. Why can’t the same company operate the same way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted February 8, 2021 #37 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Strange Royal is not canceling those longer then 7 day cruises right away. We had a Princess cruise booked for 10 nights for September 2021, it wasn't no more then 3 days after no cruises longer then 7 day's was reported that we got a notice from our Travel agent saying our cruise was canceled and received back our deposit refund.

PelicanBill Posted February 8, 2021 #38 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Nobody is rushing to cancel future cruises just for the 7 day rule. Things could change before we get there. They want to hold on to your reservation. Cancellations will be done month by month as they have been. When it comes time, it isn't always easy to just shorten cruises. That leaves holes in the schedule, create conflicts for ports and dock schedules, and is bad to have non-revenue days. Some cruises just cannot be scheduled if they needed the days to get to a key destination port. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also booked on that one as part of B2B2B. We had a Disney 9 day scheduled in July that they cancelled and replaced with a 3 and a 6. Had to rebook the replacements. Looking less likely that either set will sail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, when any news of that happens, there will be plenty of new threads about it and this one is unlikely to be one of those. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
