Another Cruise Canceled After Full-Ship Charter Takes Over Sailing
If you're booked on the March 7, 2027, Allure of the Seas sailing, your cruise has been canceled because Atlantis Events chartered the entire ship. Doing nothing moves you automatically to the later sailing Royal Caribbean has arranged. If that doesn't work for your schedule, contact Royal Caribbean directly to review your other options. Since this cancellation came more than a year before departure, turn on cruise line notifications and consider travel insurance for any future bookings.
Royal Caribbean pulled the plug on Allure of the Seas' March 7, 2027 sailing so Atlantis Events could take over all 5,718 berths for an all-gay charter ā and this is the second such cancellation in two weeks, following a similar Celebrity Cruises charter. My read: cruise lines are increasingly willing to bump individual bookings for the guaranteed revenue a full charter locks in, and it's showing up more on big Oasis-class and Celebrity Equinox-type ships where a single group can fill the whole vessel. Royal Caribbean auto-rebooks affected guests to a later sailing if they do nothing, which is more than some lines offer, but it still means your March dates are gone. If I had a booking that far out, I'd keep cruise line notifications on and buy "cancel for any reason" coverage ā the line will rebook your cruise, but it won't reimburse the flights and hotels you booked separately.
