Oasis 4/21/24 itinerary change

[mcspliff]

So I am getting on LOTS in 2 weeks for a weekend cruise, and when I logged into my RCCL account the Oasis sailing I have booked for 4/21/24 has changed. Originally it was a 7 night Eastern Caribbean itinerary but now it is showing a 14-night TA to Barcelona. I called Royal and they confirmed that it is in fact now a 14-night TA. My wife and I are totally ok with this, but I am curious if Royal does anything for guests who keep the booking? Do they offer any sort of OBC? 

 

Also just figured I would give people a heads up as this sailing is currently not showing on the RCCL website.

I booked a 5-night Indy cruise Nov 2023. It later changed to a 7-night. We were able to stay on that cruise without additional charges for the 2 extra nights. Nothing more was offered.

This is kinda what we're hoping. As long as there isn't a price change I could definitely get on board with a transatlantic.

You won't get to keep the booking and be on the TA.

 

You sailing will be cancelled and you will get a refund or an option to move to another 7 day cruise.

That happened to us on Jewel. Your cruise is cancelled. It sounds promising for a moment though, doesn't it? ☺️

Nice! Had opposite experience, on 2 Cruises each lost a day and changed ship(sister/same class). Royal wouldnt reduce the Price. Ended up being CV stoppage canceled 16 months ago anyway

The option to move to another sailing around those dates might. Wait to get the official cancellation message before doing something on your own.

Wouldn’t that be great?!  I suspect they won’t allow those booked to roll onto the TA, but crossing my fingers for you! 🙂

A couple of posters elsewhere reported this situation a week or so ago. In their case, it's complicated by the fact that they were B2B with the 21st of April sailing as their second week. They were simply told that their sailing was cancelled, with no alternative offered.

Not a chance, you have better odds getting hit by lightning.

I don't see the TA on the site yet for the Oasis.  I wonder what the itinerary is.

Seems odd to pull an Oasis ship in the middle of the spring break season to do a TA unless it's a like for like swap and your cruise will still happen, just on a different ship

She was coming over the pond anyway for her dry dock. The 21st of April sailing was the last one. My guess is that they wouldn't have had time to do a revenue TA sailing if she remained Stateside until the 28th and perhaps the bean counters thought the TA would return higher revenue than the 7 night Caribbean sailing.

It says the itinerary is 10 days at sea followed by Malaga, Spain, Alicante, Spain, Valencia, Spain, Palma de Mallorca and Barcelona.

Just figured I would give everyone an update to this as I just heard back from my travel agent...

 

Royal has switched the cruise and there is no price difference or anything like that. They even are letting me get by with my pre-paid gratuities. So all in all there are no complaints on my end! We paid for 7 nights and are getting 14!

Good for you!  Did they give you the dates ?

It's the same date as before. April 21, 2024 from Miami. Definitely super stoked!

TAs that don't go through Iceland/Greenland do tend to be cheaper per day but sounds like you are getting a great deal.  I don't see the TA appearing for sale yet but likely they are still working out details and arrangements for folks booked on the non-TA cruises.  Hmm - we don't have April 2024 planned yet...

 

You will NOT be the only ones on the ship (although they could remove some of the performers before the cruise depending on where they need them).

12 to 14 day TAs can often be as cheap or cheaper than a 7 day Caribbean. Just look At Symphony’s TA in March 2023. 12 nights for $428 per person for an inside cabin.
