Full world cruisers were on their own for that one, as well as several others. India, Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam Nam, etc..
Royal is pretty much only doing visa's for world cruisers doing Africa. Probably because they changed the itinerary.
According to an oboard entertainer who is dating an engineer, she was told her boyfriend has seen plans for a new Royal ship under 100,000 tons.
Defined third hand information
John is on his way back to the ship. Getting back on in Singapore. I believe he's now in Qatar with a 6 hour layover.
He got to fly in or out of the top 3 airports in the world. Hard to believe not one US airport made this list
It was nice he could come home for a couple weeks.
With the Africa change, Royal offered to refund your pro rated fare for the days you wanted to miss. Plus you could leave your stuff in your cabin. Very generous.
For those staying on, Royal refunded 25% of the affected daily rate. It was given in a refundable OBC. Showed up today.
John needs to call Royal and see how his was handled since he closed his account yesterday
Usually you submit a trip interruption request. Not a big deal, but port needs to have immigration agents available.
John was an emergency request, and they made it happen
