Oasis of the Seas lost all three ports to a storm. Royal Caribbean's own policy says no refund is owed. Is $200 onboard credit fair? The Oct 18 Oasis of the Seas sailing from Cape Liberty, New Jersey, was meant to visit Port Canaveral, Perfect Day at CocoCay and Nassau. A nor'easter off the Carolinas changed that. Guests found out the evening before. The only stop is now Halifax, Nova Scotia, extended to a full day (6 PM Tue Oct 20 to 6 PM Wed Oct 21). The rest of the cruise is sea days. What guests get: refundable onboard credit of $200 per guest (inside or outside), $300 (balcony) or $600 (suite) for the first two guests, $100 for the third guest and up, plus a 50% future cruise credit per paid guest, to be booked by Oct 18, 2027. Royal Caribbean's terms say it does not have to refund any of the fare when it changes an itinerary. Fair call, or should Royal Caribbean pay more? Tell me in the comments.
