robandlil Posted October 13, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 13, 2021 We’re on the Freedom Feb ‘22. , for a 3 night out of Miami. Just got a letter informing us that due to Covid spacing requirements, they will be moving us to a different stateroom.!! I've never heard of this. Wouldn’t the walls protect us? Anyone else?

AshleyDillo Posted October 13, 2021 #2 Share Posted October 13, 2021 We got one too, different sailing. I'm seeing folks with GTY cabins reporting they got them as well. Even seen a RLS get one and there's no matching cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been a bunch of threads about it. They are moving people so that there is an empty balcony between cabins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robandlil Posted October 13, 2021 Author #4 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I just tried to book my category and it’s sold out. I hope they move me up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisegirl1 Posted October 13, 2021 #6 Share Posted October 13, 2021 That is strange as on a recent B2B on Mariner, we had passengers on both sides of us both cruises. m 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way they should be bumping Star Class suites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, what is even stranger, the ship was fully vaxxed and yet the dining room on the vaxxed only deck (3) the tables for 2 were one next to each other with less than a foot separation.

Lady Hudson Posted October 13, 2021 #9 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Got one too — for an oceanview. Can’t be just about balconies. And ours is an accessible! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pstone1 Posted October 13, 2021 #10 Share Posted October 13, 2021 We were on Allure September 26. Ocean Balcony and cabins on both sides of us were occupied! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfcathorse Posted October 13, 2021 #11 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Just off Ovation and we had neighbors on both sides of our balcony, but we never got a notice of needing spacing. Got moved on Harmony's Trans-Atlantic though, from deck 9 balcony to deck 7 balcony. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmpuszcz Posted October 14, 2021 #13 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I got a letter today for my oceanview room on Odyssey March 6. Seemed odd but we'll see. Would be nice to be upgraded to ocenaview balcony. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soozles Posted October 14, 2021 #14 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Hoping I don’t get this letter… we booked connecting rooms to put my kids in one room and we will sleep in the other. We’re booked with one adult in each cabin, but the reservations are linked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasukkie Posted October 14, 2021 #15 Share Posted October 14, 2021 My husband and I booked connecting balcony cabins to take advantage of double points and very nice solo pricing. I'm really looking forward to having our own bathrooms and the location is perfect for us. I really hope we don't get moved. This is for Anthem next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BND Posted October 14, 2021 #16 Share Posted October 14, 2021 (edited) Is it possible these cabins are in locations where they have cabins set aside for isolation? Edited October 14, 2021 by BND 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted October 14, 2021 #17 Share Posted October 14, 2021 What a joke the CDC is (as I'm sure this is a CDC issue). Basically zero cases on cruise ships, but let's make even more bizarre decisions on board 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted October 14, 2021 #18 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Gotta be a sign of CSO 2.0, a new version that allows unvaccinated but you have to leave cabins in between. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolytheneGirl Posted October 14, 2021 #19 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Since it doesn't seem to be all ships/itinerarys could it potentially be related to the ports/stop and the social distancing policies they have in place? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted October 14, 2021 #20 Share Posted October 14, 2021 (edited) Read between the lines, Bayley already knows what the CDC wants next If the CSO is extended or not is irrelevant and this may be Royal's display to the CDC that they will comply with CDC recommendations even without the CSO being formally extended and/or CSO 2.0 being published. Clearly there is communication and conference calls occuring with the CDC. There must be a CDC recommendation that if cruise lines want to ease vaccine requirements then they must space out guests on board. This also imposes a built in capacity limit of ~50%. Very sneaky CDC. Edited October 14, 2021 by twangster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted October 14, 2021 #21 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Didn't the CDC once float the idea of using a cabin every other sailing? Cruise 1 use one set of cabins, cruise 2 use the cabins that were empty in cruise 1. Cruise 3 back to cruise 1 set of cabins. Explains why they are displacing Royal Loft Suite guests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sneaky CDC. Except apparently Freedom has already sailed at more than 50%. And, a lot of people have reported having neighbors on both sides of them. I don't see the vaccine requirement eased anytime soon especially now that most kids can soon be vaccinated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing before Nov. 1 is being modified. After Nov. 1 much is. I'm sure the CDC was not pleased with that FR sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested in trying to compile a master list of affected sailings/cabins, see if there's any noticable pattern - itineraries, ports, sailing dates, which floors/cabins, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
