Not knowing all of the rules or ins/outs, can the Ops communicate the needed info via e-mail.

This would be so helpful.  Someone on another forum is basically stating that they see a room available and they cannot give me the name of the TA, that's all I need.  My whole family is going on this cruise, it's so upsetting that someone sees the information that I need and they can't give it to me  😞

OP-I'm sorry, I don't have much helpful advice other then to just keep checking. Fingers crossed something pops up!!

We're on the Adventure 8 day a week before you (and a little overlapping) and while I haven't been religiously checking (we got a good guarantee rate to start so it was a long shot for lower price) I was surprised when suddenly this week our ship is sold out, or at least not coming up any more as an option when searching. I'm wondering if this is crunch time (~30 days out) to get the Royal Up winners situated before they open lower categories? May be wishful thinking but in my glass half full head I like to think that at least some insides will pop up after they start assigning the upgrades....

I'm really hoping 😞 thank you for answering and enjoy your cruise!

I wish I could pass that name along.  The heading does say Sold Out, but the cabin prices are $1300 for an inside and over $7,000 for a balcony or suite!  I'm not sure what that means when they say Sold Out but then list prices...…..

Good luck!  Keep trying.

Because that is a great price the 1,300 and really want to book it if someone has it available somewhere 😞

Nothing to be upset about - just keep checking or wait for a better time to take that cruise. 

 

Biker, who wouldn't bother with calling RCI, but instead would check their UK site for cabin availability.

Thank you!

Travel agents won’t be of any help in this case as all group space gets recalled by Royal 120 days prior to sailing.

 

You can get waitlisted for a cabin by paying a deposit.  Call Royal or a travel agent for this option.  Other than that check the website 4-5 times daily.  

 

Actually, I just checked and all categories are closed and can’t be waitlisted other than a studio inside and Studio balcony and the three highest suites.

 

just Jeep checking the website and maybe something will show up.

I do check constantly, thank you.  I call 2x a day as well but getting defeated, trying to get on a cruise I'm finding is exhausting

My husband and I are on this cruise - we booked last Oct.  I've been checking availability from time to time to see if a better balcony location opens up.  The itinerary (Bermuda & the Caribbean) and the dates being over the Memorial Day holiday weekend makes it very appealing; thus the cabins filled up fast and prices started climbing. One day Royal's website shows all categories sold-out except one or two high-end suites; another day it shows  several Interior and/or OV cabins available.  We've received several invites to bid on an upgraded cabin via the Royal Up program.  Hopefully several bids will be accepted for the suites and a cabin may open for you as a result of the "domino" affect of others upgrading.  As others have said, keep checking back with Royal and let them know you would really like to join your family and friends on this cruise now!  Hope you're successful and will join us on-board this beautiful ship in May!  

I'm hoping something comes up as well.  Just upsetting that our house didn't close sooner to be able to book it when there were tons of things available.  If something does come up for you to upgrade I wonder if there is a way to hold the room you are giving up under my name? I know this is a long shot but I would kick myself for not at least asking.

Our TA's website is showing all categories except OV available, but at very high prices.

We are willing to pay the high prices, but on any TA I called or any website I go to nothing is available.  Wish there was someway to know whose TA's website you are looking at because I would go there right now and book it.

Welcome to Cruise Critic.

Stinks 😞 I really need help, thought this was a good source to come to

So I'm curious if anyone knows if my husband and I have a chance to get on a sold out cruise.  Back story:  We have been paying two mortgages for 6 months now and couldn't afford it when our family and friends booked the trip but the week before we finally closed there were a ton of rooms still available and than this past Thursday right after we finally closed I looked to book the trip and it's completely sold out.  I've been calling travel agencies, Royal 2x a day in hopes that something opens up.  I am so upset that it's not looking hopeful.  I'm writing on here to see if anyone has maybe a good travel agent, someone that is good at finding out anything or has rooms blocked out on certain cruises.  I'm looking at the Royal Anthem of the Seas ship leaving out of New Jersey port on May 23, 2019 to June 1, 2019 - 9 day cruise.  New at this site but really looking for maybe a little guidance a little glimpse of hope that possibly may be left that maybe someone who travels more may know.

I'm seeing all categories on that sailing. I'd post the site but I've been spanked before for trying to sneak it in. The prices highlighted in blue are special offers. If a category is sold out they replace the price with the word Call.

 

Example of one almost sold out.

Is there anyway you can share your on-line cruise broker?  I'm getting very depressed thinking going on a sold out cruise isn't happening and I've been doing so much research and calling anyone I can think of 😞 I tried messaging you but for some reason I'm not allowed to message (new to this site so not sure why)
