yancycruiser Posted March 12, 2022 #1 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Yesterday, we were 30 days out from our cruise and I printed off our docs. This morning, RoyalCaribbean.com shows us as 0 cruises and no record of our upcoming cruise. Any ideas what is going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted March 12, 2022 #2 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Need more info. Could be a glitch (common for our accounts on Royal). Could be something else. Ship & sail date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yancycruiser Posted March 12, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Harmony of the Seas on April 10. Account states "0 future cruises". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted March 12, 2022 #5 Share Posted March 12, 2022 That cruise is still available for sale on the website. Were you paid in full? Probably worth a phone call to Royal or your TA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yancycruiser Posted March 12, 2022 Author #6 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Yes, paid in full. I plan to contact them when they open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saab4444 Posted March 12, 2022 #7 Share Posted March 12, 2022 They had some IT issues this night, just wait and try again in a few hours or search your cruise by booking number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted March 12, 2022 #8 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Randomly disappearing cruises from your account is a common issue. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1 Posted March 12, 2022 #9 Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) Last night my Royal Caribbean page showed no upcoming cruises as well. We have numerous cruises booked with several paid in full. I didn’t give it a second thought, and figured it was an IT issue. OP- I would not be too concerned. Check today and let us know if the issue is resolved. I will check my account later on. Edited March 12, 2022 by cruisegirl1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snaefell Posted March 12, 2022 #10 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Little tinkers Royal Caribbean in that respect. We had a short cruise from Singapore on Quantum booked for March 2021 which suddenly morphed into a repositioning cruise to Japan,when I queried it with Customer Services I got an email saying that the cruise I had booked had never existed,very impressed!😕 All academic as Covid made sure that it all went pear shaped in the end anyway & Quantum is still in Singapore where we left her in October 2019!

ZoeyVictoria Posted March 12, 2022 #11 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I am also on the Harmony on April 10, and mine still shows up in my list of upcoming cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yancycruiser Posted March 12, 2022 Author #12 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Finally contacted RCCL and they stated my cruise had been cancelled. Really stunned me. From printing docs yesterday to no cruise today. Have been trying to contact my agent. Has this ever happened to anyone and what was the outcome.

Are you sure final payment was made and you have a zero balance invoice showing that? Seeing as it disappeared right after final payment date, sounds like that is the issue. Did you TA actually process final payment? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaveitallbehind Posted March 12, 2022 #14 Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) I would be on the phone to my TA and RCI to find out exactly what is going on - glitch or not. Not likely anyone here will have the certain answer. Edited March 12, 2022 by leaveitallbehind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lane Hog Posted March 12, 2022 #15 Share Posted March 12, 2022 And this is why I book directly with the cruise line. No questions about payment being posted. With agencies, there's always some doubt on what posts when. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With agencies, there's always some doubt on what posts when. I disagree. 75% of all cruises are booked via TA's, and the vast majority of TA's are very reputable and recognized as professional sales extensions of the cruise lines. The vast majority are also reputable regarding payments, which should be made directly to the cruise line. To assure this, I would never deal with any TA that took payment to the agency directly. All payments should be processed by the TA on your behalf directly to the cruise line with receipt of payment in the form of a revised booking confirmation both from the agency and the cruise line. This is how it has been done in our experience and we have never had any issues with payment. Many TA's will also request final payment up to a week ahead of the actual final payment date. This is done for positive reasons to assure no issues with processing the payment and to allow enough time to have any issues resolved prior to the actual payment date so as not to jeopardize your cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meekacat Posted March 12, 2022 #18 Share Posted March 12, 2022 A system problem is randomly canceling some fully paid bookings on the final payment date...both direct and TA bookings. There are other reports here plus we heard of others on our sailings. The first sailing of our fully paid B2B in February was hit. The second sailing was fine. The first time they fixed our booking it canceled itself again a few days later. The final fix took 3 weeks and many calls. Keep track of any cruise planner purchases because they get canceled too and you need to re-book and pay again. btw- The refunds for the items that got cancelled don't process as usual (part of the system problem) so you will need to chase after those with the customer resolutions team who work with the accounting department. A very long process which is still dragging out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it can be resolved if this was Royal’s mistake. Trust in your TA, let them do their job, even if it takes a day or two now that it’s the weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okieinFL Posted March 12, 2022 #21 Share Posted March 12, 2022 This happened to us in Feb of this year, we found out 3 days before our cruise, our reservation disappeared off the app. we called RCL and they said it had been cancelled 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG65CB Posted March 12, 2022 #22 Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) There's no mention of this on the roll call page for Harmony April 10. The FB group for that cruise is private so I can't see if it is discussed there. Did the RC rep tell you the entire cruise is canceled, or your reservation is canceled?

yancycruiser Posted March 14, 2022 Author #23 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Rest if the story. Our agent contacted RCI and here is what happened. First, we were suppose to cruise January 10th and we moved to April 10th. Due to tremendous backlog, it took RCI about five weeks to apply the Future Cruise Credit (FCC) to the new cruise. They erred in applying to my wife's FCC leaving a balance. Amazing that no one I talked with could or would tell me that. My agent got it squared away and I am all set. Even have the same check in time at noon. Sure was stressful for awhile. Now have only 27 days days to cruise. Hoping that they change the date for negative testing to three days prior. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXACTLY. My TA wants final payment 10 days before the RCI deadline. Payment is directly to RCI. And I get a revised booking confirmation immediately showing a 0 balance due.

ITA I've never heard of paying an agency. I'm not saying they don't exist. But every agency that I've ever dealt with makes the payment directly to the vendor. So the guest would see the payment to RCCL on their cc statemen Edited March 14, 2022 by dcgrumpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
