RCL cancelling cruises: Should I be concerned?

[RedneckBob]

Just read on RCL CC Thread that RCL has cancelled cruises on eleven different cruise ships, including ships out of Tampa, Miami and Ft Lauderdale as early as October 2021 through April 2022.

No... it´s just the regular pattern. 

Original cruises/itineraries cancelled. 
New adapted/possible itineraries offered.

That was part of the entire redeployment/return to service plan. Understandably nothing is set in stone for Celebrity. The amount of Caribbean cruises Celebrity have coming on very quickly seems quite aggressive given the circumstances but I wouldn't expect any/many far reaching adjustments like RCL has done.

Yes, you should be concerned if you have any of those ships booked, currently.

 

As far as I know, X has not made similar announcement(s) yet.

I agree...I think Celebrity will have some coming also. There are also going to be a lot of itinerary adjustments coming as St Kitts looks to be out...Virgin Islands requiring all ships to be 100% vaccinated over age 12 and Grand Cayman that says they are shut to cruise ships till 2022.

I just read on RCL boards yesterday that our Radiance cruise departing on 1/2/22 was canceled.  Still have not been notified by RCL though.  We are also booked on Constellation for 11/7/21.  I sure hope that doesn't get canceled.  Just made final payment on it a couple days ago.  Since we have air booked, I did make alternative vacation plans to stay at a hotel in Clearwater Beach.  I will cancel that reservation when I know for sure whether or not the cruise will be going forward.

We're with you on Constellation 11/7, so I also hope that one flies!

 

Here's a fairly comprehensive explanation of all of the Royal restart changes:

Edit:  Nuts, they blocked my link.  It's all over on the royal caribbean blog site.  Very detailed.

 

For Radiance, it appears that all of these are canceled:

Radiance of the Seas departing Miami: October 15, 2021- April 10, 2022

On the RCL earnings call today, they said near term bookings are being affected by the Delta variant.  I would not be surprised if there are more cancellations and delayed start ups of some ships if the current Delta wave does not subside soon.

All I can add is my SIL was canceled within 24 hours of her making final payment- that’s a kick in the teeth, even 2-3 days or a week, but same day - she is unhappy.

We received an email last night advising that our Radiance cruise on 3/4/22 was cancelled. Now we are hoping that the Constellation on 1/14/22 will sail as scheduled.

Just got notice from Royal that our March 2022 Australia / New Zealand cruise has been canceled.
