Or if you never cancel,they will just keep the one dollar.

Just book both with the $1 deposit and do research to decide which you want to do.

Try the usual: clear cache, clear cookies, private browsing mode, different browser.

Tried that, plus went to other online TA, those all brought back error messages or they didn't even show that the solo cabins were a bookable option.

I ended up booking something else, yesterday, so never bothered to call Royal to see if they could give me an actual price.

Noticed they added 4 solo studio interior cabins and the pricing looks good,but can't complete the process,it just keeps loading the page for the past couple of days.

MSC Preziosa 11/21/19 16 night Genoa to Martinique Transatlantic

You are going to find that the higher deposits are being required by many cruiselines.

 

The cruiselines are reacting to the cruise roulette that some cruisers are playing. A cruiser will book several cruises that leave around the same time. This means those cabins are being taken out of inventory.

 

As final payment approaches, the cruiser will then pick the cruise that offers the best deal and cancel the others.

 

As a result, the cruiseline will now have empty cabins that need to be sold.

 

To discourage the game playing, the deposits are now higher.

 

A lower deposit may be offered, but it will be non-refundable if the cruise is cancelled at any time after the booking is made.

NCL almost always has a $50pp deposit, regardless of the length of the cruise you choose, it's fully refundable.

Msc runs either a $49 or $99pp deposit on all their ships and it's refundable.

I agree, let's get those Roll Calls going... TA - fall of 2019? Which month will it be? :confused:

Norwegian Encore will feature amenities and interactive experiences that will excite and inspire, and more details on the ship’s design, accommodations, dining and onboard offerings will be shared in the coming months. The ship will be available for reservations in March 2018.

Looks like we will have to wait until March.

Since Breakaways last cruise out of Miami ends November 17, I would expect Encore to start November 24 for a Thanksgiving cruise.

If they do a 12 TA, Nov 12 would be my guess.

Bonaire is amazing!!

Wondering when booking will start, hopefully next month.

I also think the letter is referring to all of their ships not just one. If it were just one I think it would state that particular ship.

Getaway is the only ship scheduled in Eastern Caribbean, during that time period.

I do not know what the original itinerary for the Getaway was. If the ports that the ship were scheduled for are still not usable, NCL could have a problem with finding substitute ports that can be reached in a seven day cruise, can handle a ship the size of Getaway, and that are not already fully scheduled with similar size ships or a full load of ships. Port schedules are set years in advance (two is the number that comes to mind, but could be further out).

Her original itinerary was St Thomas, Tortola and Nassau.

No comparison between the Norwegian Getaway, a 4,000 passenger beast, with Carnival Fascination, at 2,000 passengers.

 

My guess is that the sheer size of the NCL ship was the problem.

 

Another reason I prefer smaller ships over the larger ones.

Royal is currently sending all three Oasis and a Quantum class ship to Eastern ports, so it appears it's just NCL's decision, not correlation with Ship size.

No. Your gratuities will be $99 per person, assuming it is a 7 day cruise. You will not come out ahead on this one. Choose another perk and enjoy your savings!

It’s $124.60pp now.

Hi

 

out of curiosity - how were you able to insert that image in your posting?

I took a screenshot of that image on FB, then clicked on the

Mountain that allows you to upload and insert images from your photos.

I’m on the iPad app for CC, so it’s looks different if you are on a PC.

Found this on FB

If you click on one of the May, June or July sailings, then click on change date the August and one September sailing pop up, but after selecting a cabin, it just spins on loading.

This is fun, even if you don't drink.

Can you tell me what Atlantis they are talking about. Is it the resort in the Bahamas or some other hotel? Thanks

It’s the name of the charter company

Personally this doesn’t impact me,because I never went when it was included in the cruise fare, but for those that will still go, what price point would curtail your visits completely?

Does the Magic have laundry facilities? I'm debating about bringing less... we will be staying in Florida a week after the cruise.

How do they know it was from Ambien. They do toxicology aboard ship?

I’m sure it was just a rumor,just like two died .

This is what TMZ is reporting

http://www.tmz.com/2018/01/24/storm-chaser-star-joel-taylor-drug-overdose-od-died-dead-cruise-ship/

A passenger who interacted with Joel tells TMZ, Joel had consumed enough GHB on the dance floor Tuesday that he was rendered unconscious and taken off the dance floor by 2 people and back to his room.

They are doing the autopsy in San Juan,so won’t know definitely until then.

What are the dept. date?
