Royal Caribbean Extends Cancellation Policy

Royal Caribbean has extended its 'Cruise with Confidence' cancellation policy to sailings through April 2022.

For new and existing bookings created by 1 August 2020, customers have the flexibility to cancel their cruise up to 48 hours prior to sailing and receive a full credit of the cruise fare for a future cruise through April 2022.

RCL has also introduced new rebooking options:

Best Price Guarantee: Customers can choose to change the price and promotional offer on their reservation up to 48 hours before their cruise.

Lift and Shift: Up to 48 hours prior to sailing, travelers have the option to simply 'lift and shift' their cruise to the same itinerary departing on a future date. The original price and promotional offer on the reservation will be protected, along with the length of the cruise and stateroom category.

RCL chairman and CEO, Richard Fain, said, "Guests are reacting positively to our Cruise with Confidence policy because it enables them to make informed decisions and to better manage complicated travel plans during this unprecedented time of uncertainty. We want our guests to feel they can safely keep their existing cruise bookings or schedule new sailings because this policy gives them more freedom and flexibility."

The policy applies to all cruises with sailing dates on or before April 2022 and across the company's global brands: Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises and Azamara.
