One of the new deck 11 forward facing balconies on Voyager.  During my call regarding price protection I was told they run out of balconies, resulting in the upgrade with price protection, a lucky result for me.

Yes, same exact scenario for me except that i kept the same room number from one to the other.

Oh, interesting…. I’d forgotten there are a few JS’s on deck 11 on Adventure.  They relocated me to deck nine.

We were moved from Adventure to Voyager. Finally got our reassignment to same cabin on a b2b..BUT...the price is wrong on both legs. I'll give it a few days to see if it straightens out.

I received the email as well.  
 

“The International Maritime Organization recently shared new speed regulations we must adhere to and as a result, we’ve repositioned some of our ships …”.  
 

Can someone please help me understand how speed regulations apply as a reason, when they are swapping same class of ship? @chengkp75 

The reason is because of the itineraries involved and the distances between ports.

 

On certain itineraries the ships must run all engines and go to max speed to reach the port.  While both ships can reach the same speed they produce emissions that are controlled by scrubbers. The Voyager has updated scrubbers installed so that she can run all 6 engines and make top speed and meet the emissions requirements while the Adventure does not yet have the updated scrubbers installed so she cannot run at full speed and meet the emissions requirements.
