I think they had to make their way to PPC sailing empty which won't affect the PC sailings

 

Maybe we'll be on her still

November 14😁

Thanks for posting Ken. Do you know if we can get a refund if we paid for it with a FCC? Don't really need another FCC.

 

From what I have been told, yes any cancellations now can have FCC's that have been applied converted to a refund

Which means they aren't going to extend FCC's?

Haven't heard anything about an FCC extension

So Just wondering if the Harmony TA is cancelled, then wouldn't all the cruises from PC in Nov be cancelled too? 

Might just sail here empty. Crew only.........much safer to make sure your November sailing is a go that way. Rather then bringing covid passengers back with it.

No its not.  Take the time and actually look at what is posted.  The two lists work together.  The list I posted lists date specific cancellations not start up dates like the other

Thank you for the details. I've got three in here ... one I made final payment on. One I had final coming up in 10 days and one that was booked with the old next cruise certificate (New Zealand one in March). So what happens with that one? Do they return the certificate to it's original unredeemed state?

 

[Ourusualbeach]

Not sure about all the sailings but the option for a lift and shift to next year price protected was there for Brilliance and Vision.  Same ship, same home port, same itinerary length and +/- 2 weeks

According to the terms on the cancellation letter it does state that FCC's will be returned to an FCC.  It was mentioned on a travel agent webinar put on by Royal that they would refund FCC' applied to a cruise that they cancelled

I would love to just Lift & Shift the New Zealand cruise.

Just to update.

 

The terms on the cancellation notice do date that FCC's will be returned as an FCC but TA's were told on a webinar a couple weeks ago that they would consider refunds on applied FCC's for cruises they cancelled or where guests cancelled because of protocol changes.

@Ourusualbeach Thank you Ken for posting. This is the first I've heard of this. Now I don't know if I should be happy that they did not cancel the November 7th Explorer just the sailing the week before the Oct, 30th, or start worrying that we will be next?

I was just going to e mail you.  I would take this as a positive sign.  With Royal listing so many I think this may be the one that sets the stage fir the fall and return to cruising.  Use this list of cancellations in conjunction with the restart date list and you should be set.

So I just got an email saying Serenade is sailing from Tampa in October and BOOK NOW.  When clicking on the link to the website, it shows nothing. Is Serenade going to be inTampa in OcT?

[Guest BigRoger]

@Ourusualbeach thanks for your unpaid work on this! A quick query - are RC going to honour FCCs deposited into (say) the Harmony TA when it’s lifted and shifted to Allure 2022 given that timing of that sailing is outside the period they have set for using FCCs please? Jeez I hope so….

I hope so as well and suspect that they will.  I have clients with FCC's on a December cruise as well as the TA with FCC's applied.

I hope so. We are booked on it and it's our first cruise since Nov 2019. Coming back empty will defiantly make it easier for us boarding on the 14th.

Any suggestions for L&S_ing for cancelled TA Harmony (except Allure which goes to Galveston)
