  1. Someone on the UWC was reporting Royal was moaning about high port fees and extra security prices. Ship tours is highly recomended due to security issues
  2. I'm on that and looks like it's going ahead. They will have 28 days to get to Dxb
  3. Really, They have a lot of deposit money sitting in the bank for another year. $900 of mines
  4. Anthem to Dubai Oct 23rd cancelled About Your Upcoming Travels Dear Guest, We have all been closely monitoring the unrest in the Red Sea and were hopeful everything would settle down. Unfortunately, due to security risks and with the safety of our guests and crew top of mind, we’ve made the difficult decision that Anthem of the Seas will instead have to transit around the southern tip of Africa. As a result, our October 23rd, 2024, sailing onboard Anthem of the Seas has been cancelled. We’re truly sorry for the impact that this has on your vacation plans. The time and effort you took to plan your cruise is important to us, so we’ve put together some alternate options that we hope will work for you and those in your party. Option 1: Rebook our Voyager of the Seas 14-Night Rome to Dubai Voyage, sailing on November 3rd, 2025 Sailing from Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy and debarking in Dubai, United Emirates and visiting: Naples, Italy | Athens (Piraeus), Greece | Suez Canal (Cruising) | Aqaba, Jordan | & Dubai, United Emirates What you’ll receive: Your original stateroom category price will either be protected at your original cruise fare rate or reduced to the current cruise fare rate (whichever is lower). This excludes taxes, fees, gratuities, and other non-cruise fare items. If you were already paid in full and your cruise fare rate decreases, we’ll provide you with a refund for any difference in pricing. To sweeten the offer, you’ll receive a credit to spend onboard per stateroom: $100 USD for Interior, Ocean View, and Balcony staterooms | $200 USD for Suites Plus, an additional $50 USD for each third or more guest to spend onboard. And, you’ll also be reimbursed for non-refundable, pre-purchased transportation change fees incurred (such as a flight, train ticket, or rental car). We’ll cover up to $200 USD (£161) per guest for Domestic changes, or up to $400 USD (£321) per guest for International changes. Please email their receipts and booking information to RoyalGuestRelations@rccl.com for review. Include the following information in your email: Booking ID, Anthem 10/23/24, Guest Name, and the last four digits of the preferred card. Option 2: Re-book any other Royal Caribbean International sailing If you prefer to re-book another sailing, we’ll waive any non-refundable deposit change fees. Please know, you’ll be responsible for any difference in pricing for your cruise fare, taxes, fees, gratuities (where applicable), and other non-cruise fare items. If your booking was already paid in full and your cruise fare rate decreases, we’ll provide you with a refund for the difference. And, you’ll also be reimbursed for non-refundable, pre-purchased transportation change fees incurred (such as a flight, train ticket, or rental car). We’ll cover up to $200 USD (£161) per guest for Domestic changes, or up to $400 USD (£321) per guest for International changes. Please email your receipts and booking information to RoyalGuestRelations@rccl.com for review. Include the following information in your email: Booking ID, Anthem 10/23/24, Guest Name, and the last four digits of the preferred card. Option 3: If you can’t find a new itinerary that works for you and choose to cancel, we’ll be sad to see you go, but hope you’ll come back soon. You’ll receive: A full refund of any paid portion of your cruise fare (including non-refundable deposits) and any pre-paid amenities to the original form of payment. If you used a Future Cruise Credit on this sailing, and you request a refund instead, we’ll refund any NEW funds paid above the certificate amount, and we’ll issue a new certificate. If you booked your airfare through Royal Caribbean International, it will be automatically refunded to you. However, if you booked on your own, please contact the service provider directly for your options with them. Please note, if you choose this option, we will not provide additional compensation. Any refunds due will be credited to your original form of payment within 14 business days after your decision – kindly note, refund times may vary depending on your financial institution. It’s important to us that you find the best vacation option. In the UK only, please contact us by using our webchat service or by calling 0344 493 4005 no later than April 30th, 2024, otherwise you’ll default to Option 3 and we’ll automatically cancel your booking. If you decide to go with Option 1 or 2, please call us at 0344 493 4005 or contact your Travel Advisor, and please know, hold times may be longer than usual. Kindly note, as we work to complete these updates, you may see no action has been taken after the deadline has passed. Not to worry, we’ll update your booking accordingly.
  5. Not cheap. £2900 for a balcony solo including C&A discounts
  6. 150% of a deposit isn't much in Europe as our deposits are a lot lower than US. Final payment isn't until July so they have plenty time to decide. Myself and LB know about cancellations as we had plenty during civid
  7. Not sure if this has been mentioned Quantum cancelled the Vancouver to Hawaii cruise on October st '24. Now available to book Seattle to Tokyo and Tokyo to Singapore as it's due a refit. I was going to book the Hawaii one as a back up to Anthem Rome to Dubai. Lucky I held off Tokyo to Singapore looks a good cruise.
