Was that announced at the Coffee Talk?

So, by July we're back to "normal" 90 days?

Possibly or another few months of 60 days, most likely depends on what happens to the cancellation rate at final payment .

Thanks Ken... we have a July cruise and are watching to see if final payment day is extended...

Yea moving from 30 to 60 days to gradually get us back to 90 days to cushion the shock.

It means cruisers sailing early June pay at the about same time as those going in early May. Before this announcement those sailing in early June were paying 30 days sooner, which did feel a bit strange.

Unless another announcement follows quickly, early July sailings will also pay at about the same time as those others, bring them quickly back to 90 days.

Thank you so much, Ken.

 

Now waiting to see if X will follow suit, and if my TA will "abide" by the "rules".... FP on March 7th, for a June 13rd cruise.

Thanks Ken!   L&S for our 5/29 (which would have just slid under the radar) cruise....been paid off for 2 years.  😮  😉  

 

 

Wonder how many other things will be returning to a "state of normal" again?  🤔

Our April 30th sailing, final payment date was changed to March 31st! Strange right? One month prior! And we can't check in until mid-March!

Not strange at all.

 

Final payments have been reduced to 30 days for Dec to May sailings.  They are now lengthening that to 60 days to eventually get back to tjr 90 day standard.

 

Check in has delays been 45 days out regardless of final payment date.

No kidding? I was shocked, and thought it might be cancelled because they did that! Thanks for your update!

That is very good news.  We have a June 11 cruise and final payment in March. Love we can wait until April

Any idea if 60 days is extended to July cruises or are we back to normal?

Pretty sure we're back to normal.  We leave on Sat for 20 nights on EN and our TA who is a good friend reminded us our final payment for our July cruise is due just about the time we return.  She's heard nothing different.  I told her to go ahead and pay it when she pays hers (we're on the same cruise with several members of their family).  Get used to it people, we're all going back to normal.

Probably back to normal but there is a coffee talk tomorrow and there was at least one month where they announced the extension with only a couple days left in the month.

I just checked on the final payment date for out September Harmony cruise before coming here. Our final payment date shows on the website as June 13, so 90 days for us as of tonight.
