Royal Caribbean extends Liberty dry dock

ROYAL Caribbean has cancelled five Liberty of the Seas sailings in Feb and Mar 2021 due to the ship requiring extra time during her scheduled dry dock next year.

Affected guests can re-book on one of a number of select 2021 sailings aboard Liberty of the Seas from Apr to Oct and Jewel of the Seas from Jan to Mar, or any other international Royal Caribbean sailing.

Guests who rebook will receive an on board credit per stateroom of $US200 for Interior, Ocean View and Balcony staterooms or US$400 for Suites, plus an additional US$50 for each third or more guest to spend onboard.

Alternatively, guests can opt to cancel and get a full refund of any paid portion of their cruise fare, including the nonrefundable deposit and any pre-paid amenities.

Agents will receive protected commission for re-booked cruises, as well as a bonus US$50 commission for re-bookings on the select 2021 sailings, while protected commission will only apply to cancelled sailings if the booking was paid in full.

Royal Caribbean said it would begin contacting agents with affected clients from 08 Jan, and has advised agents to contact the cruise line on 888-281-9344 by 22 Jan if the cruise line has not been in touch.
