For all bookings made by 30 November, passengers have the flexibility to cancel their cruise up to 48 hours prior to sailing and receive a full credit of the cruise fare paid for a future cruise through April 2022 for Royal Caribbean International and Azamara, and 4 May 2022 for Celebrity Cruises. 

The cruise company will also continue to offer its Best Price Guarantee and Lift and Shift.

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

Lift and Shift is appropriate for guests wishing to move their holiday plans to next year. Eligible between now and 30 November, clients can protect their original cruise fare and promotional offering by shifting to a future sailing on the same itinerary type, sailing length, stateroom category, and within the same 4-week period of their original cruise date same-time-next-year. 

Bookings for 2021 sail dates may shift to 2022 only on current deployment open through April 2022 for Royal Caribbean International and Azamara, and 4 May 2022 for Celebrity Cruises.

“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,” said Royal Caribbean Group chairman and chief executive Richard Fain.
