It is my understanding that there are still well over 1200 Mauritians still onboard RC ships. I believe their country is making it very difficult for them to go home. So it doesn’t add up that 97% would be repatriated in the next week, unless that is just the Mauritian crew left.

Keep an eye on the flight, even if non refundable. If the flight is canceled the airline is required to refund you.

I do know that in some cases they are. I have a friend who was on Pursuit who is now on Explorer OTS. Charters have been arranged but last I heard (a week ago) his country was on lockdown and charter planes not allowed.

Can you tell me where I can find this stipulation? Our cruise was canceled on March 14, I contacted choice air immediately and have followed up several times. I was told 7-10 days now they’re saying call again if no refund by May 8. Thanks 😆

This is one thing I don't think can be blamed on LLP. It is all of the RCCL brands that are affected.

I also read it is “and” According to the CDC.... Chronic diseases are defined broadly as conditions that last 1 year or more and require ongoing medical attention or limit activities of daily living or both. I cant find a list of Severe, Chronic. But based on the CDC definition, it sounds like anyone with say, High cholesterol, high blood pressure, arthritis, depression...etc...even managed by medication would be denied boarding.

Apologies if my question is poor timing! I don't follow this board closely was not aware of the issues for this year! I’ll be on an X cruise in April and we’re all waiting for a potential itinerary change due to several of the S Pacific ports being closed to cruise ships so I can relate to the frustration. And thank you Bonnie for your replies!

Bonnie, as it is now March, I wonder if you meant Feb. 2021?

Were they any perks? I can see the dates but can’t access the page to check pricing for adding perks.

Elite status will not effect this cruise, you will become “Elite” after the cruise and get the perks on subsequent cruises.

I came across this story on another site https://www.cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/22457-royal-caribbean-to-sail-free-cruises-for-crisis-responders-with-displaced-tonnage.html What a great move by RCCL.

Appreciate the reply Bonnie. Thank you 😊

Thank you very much 😄

Is it possible to add Bonnies name to the title, in hopes that she can provide an answer? Thanks

You nailed it, US servers are paid a minimum wage and count on gratuities as part of their income. They often have to tip out the bussers and kitchen staff as well. I do think tipping has in some cases become “expected” and not earned by good service. That being said, we do tip additional on Azamara for specialty dining, especially if we are in a suite and there is no added charge
