Jenn31708 Posted January 14, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Even though we have made the final payment, I do keep checking the cabins. As of last night there were several suites and balcony rooms available. As of this morning, there were no suites left except for I think 2 junior suites. And the prices didn't change at all As of now, when you click the book now it sends you to another page to locate a travel agent near you. Is this common this close to sailing (50 days out)?

lady_cruiser Posted January 14, 2013 #2 Share Posted January 14, 2013 The only explantations I can think of is that a travel agent is holding a block of cabins or your sailing suddenly got popular and the cabins were sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkNC Posted January 14, 2013 #4 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Sounds like a group might have booked, they can take dozens of rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwjoe Posted January 15, 2013 #7 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Try booking the cruise on a big 3rd party travel site and see if the same thing happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUSINGFAMILY Posted January 15, 2013 #8 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Yes this always seems to happen, I am sure they either sell them off to a clearance broker or they upgrade the crown & anchor members, we have been lucky a couple of times and got up grades but not very much. Some of both probably. They always want to fill the cabins and they dont want to give them away but atleast if they sell them people will spend money on the ship.

Jenn31708 Posted January 15, 2013 Author #9 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Try booking the cruise on a big 3rd party travel site and see if the same thing happens. Good suggestion! I just did and it shows basically the same amount and type of cabins that were available this morning... which was a good deal less than was available last night. Maybe the upgrade fairy is making her rounds ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCC retired Posted January 15, 2013 #10 Share Posted January 15, 2013 TA unsold group allotments are returned to the CL before Final . This reduction in available cabins may have been the assigning of the Guarantee's and the Upsell Fairy . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XLRATION Posted January 15, 2013 #11 Share Posted January 15, 2013 If this is referring to the Mar. 5th ExoS sailing, the missing cabins could have been partly my fault. I had a number of rooms "held" today while we tried to find a block of rooms together that would facilitate our group. Between myself, my TA and a friend we likely had a few dozen rooms held.:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
