For new and existing bookings created by August 1, 2020, guests have the 
flexibility to cancel their cruise up to 48 hours prior to sailing and receive 
a full credit of the cruise fare for a future cruise through April 2022. The 
cruise company has also enhanced "Cruise with Confidence" with new rebooking 
options. The updates now available to travelers and their travel advisors 
include: 

    -- "Best Price Guarantee": Guests can choose to change the price and 
       promotional offer on their reservation up to 48 hours before their 
       cruise. 
    -- "Lift and Shift": For ease and as close as 48 hours prior to sailing, 
       travelers have the option to simply "lift and shift" their cruise to the 
       same itinerary departing on a future date. The original price and 
       promotional offer on the reservation will be protected, along with the 
       length of the cruise and stateroom category.

"Guests are reacting positively to our Cruise with Confidence policy," says RCL 
chairman and CEO Richard Fain, "because it enables them to make informed 
decisions and to better manage complicated travel plans during this 
unprecedented time of uncertainty."

"Cruise with Confidence" applies to both existing cruise bookings and those 
made by August 1, 2020. In addition to easing concerns of booked guests, Fain 
says the policy enhances consumer confidence to schedule new bookings, knowing 
last-minute travel adjustments are allowed.

"We want our guests to feel they can safely keep their existing cruise bookings 
or schedule new sailings," says Fain, "because this policy gives them more 
freedom and flexibility."

The policy applies to all cruises with sailing dates on or before April 2022 
and across the company's global brands: Royal Caribbean International, 
Celebrity Cruises and Azamara. For individual brand policy details, including
