dides Posted September 23, 2021 Author #4 Share Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) Not much information given for the reason for the cancellation - is it shipyard delays, operational reasons? Edited September 23, 2021 by dides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, I’m envisioning a lot of hiccups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Raider Posted September 23, 2021 #10 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I think that is our 9th cancellation but I completely understand. Depending on the cost, we may try to move our sailing to either the inaugural sailing or one of the replacements sailings. We will get there somehow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were supposed to have been on the March 20th sailing. We were able to move to a different sailing without having to pay any additional cost.

CruiseVA Posted September 24, 2021 #14 Share Posted September 24, 2021 March 13th cancelled, we had that - now we're on the 27th - (hopefully) the inaugural cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ceilidh1 Posted September 24, 2021 #15 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I noticed something weird this evening(maybe it's been this way a while and I never noticed...) If you look at deck plans for Discovery, after the April 17th sailing the Premium Suites that are on Sun deck forward switch to an S6 Vista Suite category. The pricing for these suites are actually less than the pricing for the S7 Window Suite. Anyone know why these suites have changed category, and why they wouldn't just have them as this category from the first sailing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoffa30 Posted September 24, 2021 #17 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Just received the email. We were on the 13th and 20th cruises. Not unexpected and slightly pleased to be honest as they were pretty expensive cruises as we had booked Club Class. Will be getting a refund as have too many cruises scheduled with all the previous cancellations. Will try Discovery Princess in a later year when the prices will have hopefully dropped.

The only thing I can think of is that Discovery was originally planned to launch this year (2021), and perhaps the change in deck plans after April 17 had something to do with the first year of operation and is legacy now that the ship isn't going into service until 2022. Otherwise, I'm as perplexed as you are as to why there are multiple deck plans for a new ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to see what my travel agent can do for us. I moved from the 5 day 3/1to 7 day 3/27. Had to pay current price because not the same cruise 5 day vs 7. I did it because I wanted to go on the inaugural. Also had 3/6 and 3/13 booked. Those I can get price protection but decided I don't want to go and selected Option2 instead. I am so tired of all the cancellations. Won't be booking anymore cruises till the cancellations finally stop. We still have a few cruises booked and will hope those go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiRonT Posted September 25, 2021 #22 Share Posted September 25, 2021 We were on 3/13 sailing - now on 3/27, but only if we can get same cabin. I know, good luck to us. We can dream, but we always book aft suites and prefer at least some shade cover on balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVCruzers Posted September 25, 2021 #23 Share Posted September 25, 2021 We are booked b/b on 4/10 and 4/17 so surely hope we will be on both cruises. Would be so fun to be on a brand new ship. Friends are on the GRAND today--first ship from San Pedro since the pandemic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsSoCalCruiser Posted September 26, 2021 #24 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Does anyone know about how long it’ll take to get our cabin assignments for our new booking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise frenzy Posted September 28, 2021 #25 Share Posted September 28, 2021 The dining rooms on Discovery are named Ketchikan, Juneau, and Skagway. Does anyone know where they are located on decks 5 and 6? Thanks for any info. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
