Windstar Dock in Dun Laoghaire Harbour

Azamara Docks beside the East link bridge. (Own gates for access, 2 Minute walk to Luas stop)

Book the Guarantee, and if you don't like the location, you may be able to upgrade through Royal Up

A taxi from the airport will cost around €40, You can book online, and the driver will be waiting for you. In the past I have used Airport Taxi Transfers, and found them to be good

Refund on what? Was this a cruise planner purchase? Those refunds seem to come much quicker than refunds on a cruise itself. 

It was the deposit refunded. I had only paid £600 deposit. Royal cancelled the cruise, so I had the option of a refund or a FCC.

I booked and paid a $900 deposit for a cruise sailing out of Barcelona this September.  We decided to cancel and I called and was told the full refund will be allowed with their new cancellation policy. 

Has anyone cancelled when just the deposit was paid? How long did it take to be received?  I searched on the boards, but couldn't find anything pertaining to a deposit only refund.

 

Thanks!

Did royal cancel or did you cancel?

Requested a refund on May 23rd, and my card was credited on May 30th. 

The walk from the cruise port to the train station is about 35 - 45 mins.

When a storm is brewing, Cruise ships head out to sea. Less chance of damage to the vessel.

Been there a few times with MSC and Royal, both had shuttles, However with MSC, the shuttle had to be booked with them. So for 4 people it was cheaper to take a taxi.

We just cancelled our 8/15 cruise, too much uncertainty. We are both over 70 and may never cruise again after 35 cruises.

Cruise company's need people like you

I think North Korea is Virus free.

Cancel, and if the cruise does go ahead, just book again. Will probably cost a lot less .

If you paid by credit card, contact the card company and see if they can do anything.( You are not receiving what you paid for)

Sounds like he is in the first group of crew members being sent home, perhaps his blog has something to do with that.  Does appear they will not be starting up again on 4/12/20, otherwise it would be a terrible waste of time and money.  Good luck getting back to UK.

Personally I think his vlog shows the cruise line in a good way

No kids but TWA handed out playing cards to everyone on our flight.

 

 

Did they give a sweet for take off and landing?

Allure of the seas is due on Friday

She will probably lay up in Southampton till they decide what to do next. Most of the ports in Europe are closed now, so not many options to dock a ship of that size. That may give some hope that she will sail in the Med this year.

She is currently moving at 17 Knots, So I would think she is going somewhere else.

She has sailed past Gibraltar, and appears to be going up the coast of Portugal.

Enterprise are on Pottery Road and Sixt are on Rochestown Avenue, both a short taxi drive from the port in Dun Laoghaire.

I read it.  Didn’t say much and didn’t explain anything.

God bless your eye sight, I can't read it.

 Allure is due to arrive in Cadiz on the 15th @ 05.30. That may change as she is still in Barcelona.

100% Yes Or 100% No

It's too early to know.
