YouTube Video Description

Royal Caribbean released some major changes to Lift&Shift, Cruise With Confidence, Double Points, and even FCCs! It is very important to understand how these changes will affect your booking or your FCCs. Here at Harr Travel we have thousands of hours of experience with Royal Caribbean FCCs, and we know we can maximize the value of your Future Cruse Credits to help you book your next cruise. Reach out to Harr Travel today! https://res.harrtravel.com/contact The biggest news is that FCC's are now able to be used through the end of September 2022! So all of that space in the summer is now available for booking. We've had lots of trouble finding Star Class rooms, so with this new inventory we know it will go very fast. Whether you’re already booked on a cruise, or are thinking about it, we want you to Cruise with Confidence. That’s why Royal Caribbean will let you cancel any cruise that sets sail from now through April 30th, 2022. Whether it’s a booking you already have or one you make right now through January 31st, 2021, you’re covered. As long as you cancel at least 48 hours before your sail date, you’ll receive a Future Cruise Credit. The credit is valid to book by April 30th, 2022 and sail by September 30th, 2022. Lift and Shift - Lift and Shift is for those guests simply wishing to move their existing booking to next year. For CWC guests that are ready to move to an alternative sail date in the following year, Royal Caribbean is happy to price protect the original pricing and/or promotion if the alternative sailing is the same itinerary, length, and stateroom category. However, the alternative sail date that the guest will be moved to, needs to be dated within 4 weeks (before or after) of the original sail date, but for the following year departing on or before April 30, 2022. For example, if you are moving from a July 30, 2020 sailing, you must move to a sailing that is the same itinerary, length, and stateroom category, and the sail date should be June 30th, 2021 – August 30th, 2021. To be eligible, guests must move their booking on or before January 31st, 2021. What you need to know • As long as you cancel at least 48 hours before your sail date, you’ll receive a Future Cruise Credit. • The Cruise with Confidence program covers bookings that are booked on or before January 31st, 2021, that set sail on or before April 30th, 2022. • Future Cruise Credits are valid to book by April 30th, 2022 and sail by September 30th, 2022. • You may owe any difference in cruise fare if your new booking exceeds the Future Cruise Credit’s value. • Some restrictions may apply. • Complimentary Casino offers are not eligible for Lift and Shift. • If you opt into the Cruise with Confidence 100% Future Cruise Credit, you do not qualify for any Future Cruise Credit offers or refunds related to our Global Suspension of sailings.
