ROYAL CARIBBEAN ANNOUNCES VOLUNTARY SUSPENSION OF CRUISING

MIAMI, March 13, 2020 – Today Royal Caribbean Cruises LTD. announced that it is suspending cruising in the United States for 30 days.

We understand the gravity of the public health crisis confronting the country. And this is our part to play. So, beginning at midnight tonight, we are pausing the fleet’s US sailings for 30 days. 

We are reaching out to our guests to help them work through this disruption to their vacations, and we are truly sorry for their inconvenience. We are also communicating with our crew to work out the issues this decision presents for them. We know this adds great stress to our guests, employees and crew, and we are working to minimize the disruption.

Our business is providing great vacations and creating great memories. We look forward to getting back to work as soon as we can.

Presume this is all their lines and not just a Royal a Caribbean?

[helen haywood]

I read the press release.  Don’t know whether that means Celebrity is covered in the 30 day suspension...but even if not, surely Celebrity will release a similar statement.

[TroubleT]

Does it include Caribbean cruises?

[sandc4e]

All lines?  What's their cancellation policy?

It’s posted on Celebrity's site and says RCI LTD, so I think it’s pretty safe to say yes.

I assume it means all Royal Caribbean, Celebrity X, Azamara and Silversea cruises in the US are suspended for 30 days. At least that's how I interpret it. 

[sandc4e]

It definitely does include Celebrity.  

[luv2cruisemore]

It looks like X is included but only for the US. The cruise from Sydney that I was booked on (but cancelled a week ago) for next Friday will still be going.

[PRgymnast]

Thank you, everyone.

The April 12 Edge cruise is 30 days from today Is it go or no go?
