Deepest sympathy on your loss.
My husband passed away suddenly and we had a cruise planned in approximately 6 months.
I decided to go on the trip. When I called RC to cancel his reservation and switch to a solo trip, they were exceedingly kind and compassionate. I did speak with the Crown and Anchor representative, not the general number. I was prepared to send a copy of the death certificate, but he said no need - he found the obituary on line.
I assumed the reservation would be more expensive - the agent said no. He canceled my husband, refunded all monies, and left my price as it had been with no solo charge. He even gave me my husband’s military discount.
Needless to say, I was very grateful. I went on the cruise solo, and have cruised solo since then. One reason that I am “loyal to Royal.” They were very kind and compassionate. This was 8 years ago.
