Confused!!    @Ourusualbeach Could you pls verify the restart date of Voyager please as the RCI announcement has 4/24 from Copenhagen but the Blog site has 4/15 from BCN.

Both cruises are still in my planner. 
thanks and 4/15 is still on sale on RCI USA site 🤷‍♀️. Thanks 

It is both.

 

The official (announcement states the 15th but as others have mentioned there are different cities.  This is copied from Royal announcement.

 

VOYAGER OF THE SEAS®

from Barcelona, Spain & Copenhagen, Denmark, starting April 15, 2022

I think it’s fair to say that this ‘announcement’ has been pretty much a SNAFU…. I don’t think it’s totally by accident that given how rushed it’s been, given the lack of clarity, no cancellation emails, sailings still on sale that they’ve announced are cancelled etc etc that……. RC have their investment analysts call today… this smacks of trying to get all good and bad news out there before this call regardless of the impact on guests….. for Bayley to ‘communicate’ this by attaching the RC Blog item to his FB page just says what a shambles this has been…. Not impressive corporate performance but will be spun as ‘look what a brilliant job we are doing….’ Today.

100% this is likely what is going on. For customers - terrible business. For investors - great business.

I also suspect there are a lot of itineraries for next year that will be held back from sales until they wipe out the L&S option. I'd wager a lot of the currently existing L&S's on the books are people holding onto great deals from +/- a year ago.... and being strict with the L&S same ship/itinerary is forcing people to the FCC/refund option.

Regardless, it's a public traded company - investors are the higher power always.

That is not the case.  Every ship in the fleet with the exception of Spectrum and Wonder has their itineraries posted and for sale from August 2022 through April 2023 (as far out as itineraries go.

Why so harsh toward Royal Caribbean, they are doing the best they can under the ever changing current conditions. Why such a Debbie Downer? Geez!

Wondering where Wonder is??!

Like other Asian sailings, those will likely come out late.

Received a cancelation email for my Radiance 3/18/2022 cruise.  Anyone else received emails?  

 

Cruise was paid by 3 different methods, regular credit card, regular FCC and Covid 125% FCC.  I will request a full refund but I predict it will take a long while before it's all sorted out.

Welcome to the Club, lots of them on this site, some don't even know it and some don't ever get called out for it either.

With some more time to look at the sailings I indeed see you are correct. Itineraries are there.
