MIAMI, March 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- To address
expanding global travel restrictions and provide peace of mind in
guest travel planning, Royal Caribbean Group is extending
its Cruise with Confidence cancellation policy
through September 1, 2020. The
updated policy enhances planning flexibility by allowing
cancellations up to 48 hours prior to sailing for any reason.
Guests will receive a full credit for their fare, usable on any
future sailing of choice in 2020 or 2021.
"Guests are reacting positively to our Cruise with
Confidence policy," says company chairman and CEO Richard Fain, "because it enables them to make
informed decisions and to better manage complicated travel plans
during this unprecedented time of uncertainty."
The extension applies to both new and existing cruise bookings.
In addition to easing concerns of booked guests, Fain says the
policy enhances consumer confidence to schedule new bookings,
knowing last-minute travel adjustments will incur no penalty.
"We want our guests to feel they can safely keep their existing
cruise bookings or schedule new sailings," says Fain, "because this
policy gives them more freedom and flexibility."
The policy applies to all cruises with sailing dates on or
before September 1, 2020, and applies
to the company's global brands Royal Caribbean International,
Celebrity Cruises, and Azamara. For individual brand policy
