I have not received an email but going in my account it says our January cruise cancelled... Which was a lift & shift from this past January which was moved from a November cancelled cruise. It will be automatically rebooked on the corresponding cruise from the first post unless you call to choose a different option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then people can go to Florida and treat all the ships like floating hotel rooms.............Cruise's to No Where, the ships just sits there and never moves, you pay like booking a hotel room..................For how many nights you want..........you will be tendered to the ship of your choose. All sea days. This is a really interesting idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllaDuChien Posted March 17, 2021 #53 Share Posted March 17, 2021 An interesting note - When I sign in to my profile on Royal, yesterday my October 29th cruise showed as "3 Night Bahamas & Perfect Day" even after I received the cancellation notice. I used the link in the cancellation email to choose the October 29th cruise again, knowing that it may be a different itinerary but wanted to keep the same dates/departure port. Today my profile reads: "4 Night Eastern Caribbean Cruise," but still shows me as paid in full. Hopefully that is the final answer since I am perfectly fine with adding a day to my cruise! I will have to change my flight home, but since airlines are still pretty good with changes that should not be a problem. Also, did I miss that the layout of the Cruise Planner has totally changed? When did that happen? I like it, a lot more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutigerlady Posted March 17, 2021 #56 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I'm not feeling too positive about my Mariner September sailing. I noticed this morning that you can only book the 3 night cruises now and I'm on a 4 night sailing. Yesterday, the other sailings were still showing as bookable.

It must be just a glitch in the website as every 4 night sailing in September is able to be booked on Royals site that travel agents use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really care where it goes!! 🙂 We are booked the 29 Oct sailing on Mariner. I think the same date is available in Navigator out of Fort Lauderdale for 3 days under Option 2. I’m going to try to switch to that one. But I’ll wait a day or two. If I call today, I’ll be lucky to get through to Royal by the 29th!

I've done a couple of Lift & Shift's using the online tool and they have worked out okay, so I am hopeful that this does as well, but if not I guess I will call in a day or two as well. That Navigator one would be my second choice, but I am already on the Navigator October 15 sailing two weeks earlier! Still, any ship is better than no ship! I really love both the Mariner & the Navigator so either one is really fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really love both the Mariner & the Navigator so either one is really fine. I’m fine with either ship also. But I live much closer to Port Canaveral. My family likes to cruise over Halloween and get dressed up as Robin Hood and his merry band. So the date is important to us. we are in a group booking so I’m going to call groups to make sure everybody transfers at once and gets nearby cabins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mac_tlc Posted March 17, 2021 #62 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) We were booked on the 4/4/22 sailing. Unfortunately, none of the alternates will work for us. Too bad, we had a pretty good price on a JS. One of the only times I booked refundable and now it doesn’t matter. Looks like we may do the 8N Allure on 4/2, as a side-to-side with the Celebrity Reflection, which we are on 3/26. mac_tlc Edited March 17, 2021 by mac_tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTCruiser76 Posted March 17, 2021 #66 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) @Ourusualbeach Another question - sorry ...with our original sailing being the 28th - if we don't want to sail on the 14th Easter 5 night cruise, they are saying we can switch to 4/5, 4/19 or 4/28 - are these 4 or 5 night cruises? Also where can I find the itinerary of the 14th cruise? Edited March 17, 2021 by CTCruiser76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no itinerary for it yet, but it is now a 4 day and it still leaves on Oct 29 so that is what I think is happening. The next scheduled cruise that can be booked is a 5 night cruise on November 5 which would leave the option for two 4 days, Oct. 29 & Nov. 2. No insider info at all, just my WAG, but I would be happy with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately none of these new itineraries are available for viewing Yep, I am booked on 10/29 & 10/15. So the automatic move to 10/15 is no bueno. I called, he could not tell me what the "new" itinerary was for 10/29, but I have decided to keep it no matter what it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be changing if RCI doesn’t as the charter is the Groove Cruise and although it might be a hoot for an hour or two it isn’t my cup of tea for a four day cruise.

We’ve been on several partial charters and never even knew they were on board other than seeing a lot of people wearing the same t shirts. They have their own functions and it doesn’t impact you. it may only be a couple hundred people. Edited March 18, 2021 by Ourusualbeach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
