We are joining you on this cruise and look forward to meeting you.  Safe travels!

Have read your post #1130.  I am curious though if you  aren't concerned about you possibly spreading Covid19.  You were just in Spain which is at the epicenter of the pandemic.  Only 3 countries have more cases than Spain.  You don't think 14 days of self quarantine and social distancing would be a good call?  Crazy times for sure and a top down day here as well.  Top down days are social distancing if we stay in our ragtops.  Best of luck to yall and hope you stay healthy.  Not panicking here, but am very concerned the US is on the same path Italy is on.  

We had this happen in the past.  On a cruise canceled by RC (Oasis Crane), we had redeemed points for $750 OBC.  At first they told us lost.  We raised a stink explaining not fair.  Those were points we earned.  Went to a supervisor and got the points moved to another cruise.  

We have b2b2b2b cruises booked beginning 4/2 out of Sydney and arriving in Vancouver mid May.  We are worried/concerned about both the flights and cruises.  We fly out of Dallas 3/29 on a nonstop.  We were so excited about this cruise series booked the day released.  We think it will be a clear decision if this trip is a go or no go in 26 days.  If we are still able to fly and the cruises are still on, then we are going.  We are trying to be smart in planning at home.  We have nonperishable food, water, hand sanitizer and tp stored,  just in case.  It will all get used regardless.  We want to not miss today worrying about tomorrow without sticking our heads in the sand.  We want to know the current status of the world without obsessing.  Best to all in making the decision that is right for you.  Carpe Diem

BTW, a site I follow that gathers data from across the internet without editorializing about it

We were about 60 miles+ out and have turned around. Arriving back in Galveston at 11PM. Casino closed as well as all shops. Can’t imagine what this must be costing RC. Just curious if anyone has any idea what is going on. If a loved one of mine were involved I would certainly be glad we had turned around. Just curious if anyone know what is going on.

We have always felt full tips were deserved for infants we have cruised with. Babies are messy with diapers and what not. I don't think it is fair RC charges full price for an infant given they aren't eating etc, but they do. I do think the cabin steward deserves a tip as there is extra work involved for an infant.

Seasonal Caribbean is scheduled for the week of April 2.

So TA’s will be part of that release?

Does anyone know when the spring TA cruises will be released? Thanks.

Have they cancelled Jewel TA completely? Was hoping they’d change to Miami or Fort Lauderdale

It’s canceled with no info where she is going. Redeployment couldn’t tell me anything re what they are doing with her. I do know I am weary of RC canceling cruises we have booked.

Received the email from RC the Jewel Fall 2019 TA has been canceled. They are offering Brilliance as a replacement. Now what to do........

Other than it not being on the website where do you see that it was pulled? Not trying to be confrontational, just would like to know where you have found this information.

Called the D+ desk at RC. They said something is up is why we can no longer see as an available cruise. A cruise that is all sold out is still listed and shows as sold with nothing available. I hope this info is wrong as I was really looking forward to this cruise as we have a couple of other cruises out of San Juan after this one. Rrrrrrr..................

Jewel TA for Fall 2019 has been pulled. We are on that and haven't heard anything from RC. Anyone know what is going on with Jewel after 10/19? Want to get something but will have to wait and hear what RC says.

So I guess the Jewel fall 2019 TA from Rome to San Juan will be canceled as well. Oh NO! We have this booked with B2b's on Freedom following the day after we were to arrive in San Juan on Jewel. Ugh........................... All that work...................

Has not been announced, but the obvious answer is 7 nighters from San Juan. If nothings changed

Other fall 2019 Caribbean and San Juan sailing already released. Just seems strange. We have this TA booked and are a little nervous since nothing is released for after the TA.

Any idea what Jewel is doing after the 10/30/19 TA to San Juan?

We go to Vintages and get them to put a package together. Much better wine choices than the packages they used to offer.

We have booked the fall 2019 cruise on Jewel Barcelona to San Juan. Does anyone know what is happening with her following the TA. There are no cruises listed following the TA in 2019. Makes us a little nervous wondering what is going on. Anyone know anything?

Yes, but we are only talking about bottles. not wine in glasses.

Yes, I mean bottles of wine purchased in Vintages. We often buy several bottles in Vintages. Thanks.

I assume wine we buy in Vintages and carry to the dining room or restaurants will not have a corkage fee since we didn't bring it onboard. Is that correct?

We are just off Liberty in Galveston today, May 14. I realized I left my knitting bag under the bed next to the wall. It green with a black rubber bottom making it hard to see when on its side. I'm concerned our cabin attendant, Howard, may not see it when turning the cabin. We were in aft cabin 1702. I called Royal Caribbean customer service and submitted a lost item report. I have also posted on the Liberty 5/14/17 roll call. Anything else I can do or suggestions on getting this bag back. It only had yarn,knitting needles and supplies so nothing of value to anyone else, but I am so sad thinking of not getting it back. Thanks!

Great! Thanks for posting!

You can either call and book them or book them through your cruise planner under dining.

We love Vintages. Has always been our favorite spot. It is a spot for wine enthusiasts. They offer the best selection of wines on the ship. Rather than buy a drink package, we spurge on bottles of wine at Vintages. We enjoy our D+ champagne in Vintages and then a nice bottle of wine we purchase. It is a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. The wine and dinner pairing offered on Liberty in Vintages was by far the best meal we have had on RC. It exceeded the Chef's Table and showed the importance of the correct pairing of wine and food. Reminded me of the Chef's Table of old when there was really a Chef involved that discussed each course and the wine pairing. It is one place we can go where the only thing they are trying to sell me is wine and we are always in the market for that! Love Vintages! ;)

And therein lies the problem.

Agreed. It would be a real mess if all did that. However, RC allows, so.... Does make me feel for folks that were anxiously awaiting the release today and trying to get those great aft balconies.

Just called and found out pricing for both TAs. I like the Vision better but the pricing scared me, which I figured it would since I'm going solo. Will probably book when they get loaded into the website or just do a regular European cruise instead ... itching to see Barcelona.

If I were you, I would grab it now. If price goes down you can get the new price. They typically go up after they have been released. I would grab my favorite cabin and go for it knowing I could cancel or get the price drop.
