E.g. the three new cruises on Jewel in August 2021 people heve been switched to are 8, 10 and 11 nights. Good night! Your chart is a simplified summary of changes. So far no indication that all Royal cruises in Europe in summer 2021 will be max. 7 night due to a Caribbean focused CDC approach for winter in the US and Caribbean!

wow you really have a problem admitting you are wrong...Firstly I didnt say 7 nights....I said max 10...secondly .Go to Rccl put in all cruises anywhere from jan to aug 31st...any ship any port and then maybe you will accept your shortcomings

This discusion really makes me tired because you totally missed the point of the issue from the beginning. However, Jewel took over exactly the schedule from Adventure which includes cruises from 7 to 11 nights. She just did not take over the last cruise on August 31. Just check Royal's website for respective cruises nex summer.

OMg....I know that ....you are the one missing the point....I have tried to make it simple for you by sending the chart....She took over the schedule for the Adventure for the whole season....ALL 7 nights....yes you obviously are tired...only thing on the schedule up until the end of the Q3 ...ie 31st AUG that you can now see that is over 10 days are two TA....Rhapsody to Rome and Harmony to Barcelona and these two are awaiting confirmation of cancellation.....so apology accepted...its okay to be wrong sometimes....good night

Not correct, the new Jewel cruises in the Baltic they switched Adventure cruises to are between 7 and 11 or 12 nights. Most Europe cruises in summer are longer than 7 nights, CDC refers to start of US and Caribbean cruises in winter, they are not responsible for other parts of the world.

go back and check your information 7 night sailings on Jewel as per the new information release

This is related to the schedule change by Royal for August/September 2021and not to any CDC measures related to the start of cruising in the next months.

The two are tied together....the max sailing of 10 days is not just for the next couple of months....Look at everything they have changed around going as far out as next year Q3....nothing is over 8 nights

Due to unforseen circumstances in past "normal" non-covid19 years, how many announced and booked cruises have been mentioned on this forum as unexpectedly cancelled/postponed/redeployed? Charters, Cuba cancellations, Quantum to China, Swine flu (Mariner), storms (Anthem), azipods (Allure), fog (Adventure, Brilliance), drydock crash (Oasis), fire (Grandeur), ships being sold, etc etc. 

 

Reminder... we are  no longer in a "normal" year. So what might be the chances, especially within these incredible unknown times, that maybe... just maybe... more unforseen issues will occur (as if they haven't occured already in the last 6 months)? Or will every single announced ship and itinerary go off 100% perfectly without one more change whatsoever?

 

In my humble opinion, I feel that there will be more ship deployments and even more itinerary changes before next summer. There is zero guarantee that anything announced and posted today will be the same tomorrow, a month from now, next February, etc.

 

 

 

I think everyone gets that and understands it is not an normal year. It is more the lack of transparency, The knew the sailings were going to change, the information leaked early, they denied it and then release some of it a week later, causing all this fraustration and waiting for answers....speculation caused so much turmoil.....RCCL should have done the right thing and stopped people from booking the sailings and paying deposits and paying for excursions etc.

We got the email that we get a refund for this cruise or can book any other Europe cruise with 200 OBC, I am sure they will not switch you to the expensive 12 day transatlantic to Boston on Jewel at the prize you would have paid for Adventure 7 night in Europe.

they wont be switching anyone to a 12 day sailing. Proposal to CDC clearly states, shorter cruises of 10 days or less

Booked on Adventure 30 May and got the email to say we are now on Jewel. Reading the email it says:

 

"All moves will be completed by September 28, 2020 and we'll send an updated reservation confirmation with your revised details to the email address on file as soon as your reservation has been updated. If you prefer to cancel your cruise, please call us at 888-281-9344 or contact your Travel Advisor by September 28, 2020."

 

Am I correct in interpreting this as they may not have a new booking/cabin allocation until 28th September, and that to avail of a refund, we have to cancel on that same date? Surely a bit of a gap between these would be better. I don't want to spend all day on the 28th frantically refreshing my email!

you have until oct 31st to decide
