Elizanessie Posted May 21, 2013 Author #101 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Congrats on the news. Hopefully the pricing will be reasonable :) Thanks Ken, prices for new ships are always high, I know that from past experience with Oasis & Allure Inaugurals. enjoy :d Thanks :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIRELT5 Posted May 21, 2013 #102 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Just checked with a Diamond+ rep and she stated that bookings will start on 6/4/13. I guess she didn't receive the memo. You can't make this stuff up lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't make this stuff up lol. Perfect example of why I can't believe anything I am hearing at this point. Maybe if RCI didn't rush to get the booking started they could have properly informed their front line staff of the correct answers. The employees must be pretty ticked about right now....just wait till the 28th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laddcalcagno Posted May 21, 2013 #105 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Was there any mention of itineraries for August 2015 and if bookings will be available for that far out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aqua Bliss Posted May 21, 2013 #107 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Ugh, I remember for Oasis they let Diamond level book first and I was only Platinum, so I had to wait for everyone else. Now I'm finally Diamond and there's no early Quantum bookings for Diamond members (sigh). :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCA6ft5 Posted May 21, 2013 #108 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Hello Everyone, I too share everyone's excitement and frustration in not knowing pricing and itinerary dates. In absence of hard information from RCI, may I suggest putting together a plan for “booking day” that includes which itinerary(ies) you want, what cabin categories you would accept, and both the ideal and maximum prices you would be willing to pay. At least that way you can lessen the stress of not knowing ahead of time and may avoid busting your budget. Then on the 28th remember to set your phone on “speaker”, get a good book, a box of chocolates, a glass of wine perhaps, and settle in for the marathon on hold.

PH8 Posted May 21, 2013 #109 Share Posted May 21, 2013 They did mention in the webinar bookings can be made via phone or online.........NOW,I don't know if by online,they just mean Cruising Power for agents or not:confused: And as far as limited on the TA,it makes sense....they won't fill it up during that first cruise........it will be a learning process for all the staff and crew.......that's how they do it for the pre inaugurals too.

Tall-Cruiser Posted May 22, 2013 #110 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Yeah, 7K for 3 in a D-1 for the 11-23-14 sailing ,lol. I have the Granduer booked during the same time period for 3 in a JS Aft for under 3K Ken- with all the excitement today I see that RCI is sending NJ favorite ship Explorer to Port Canaveral with some interesting ports of call. Finally some good Southern Caribbean ports. The ABC islands in one of the sailings. If Quantum is priced too high, I can see some going back to Explorer.

The 9 nt Southern Caribbean Voyages out of PCC is very nice !!!! The 14nt repo on the EXOS look great also :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the itineraries are announced tomorrow we can all plan ahead. Well without prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeck Posted May 22, 2013 #113 Share Posted May 22, 2013 No worries Alex...nice to see the email as I didn't get one so thanks for letting me see it.:D So you gonna swap to QN TA ? :D Not sure what to do. Indy Ta has 4 Caribbean ports. I read somewhere Q might be going to Florida first, which would be better for me and I could jump on another for a bit of sunshine. I'm going to call the girl I deal with in Rci office today and see what she has heard. Just have to keep reading here and see what bits of news anyone is getting. Seems to be coming out in bits and pieces instead of a press release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisenLexie Posted May 22, 2013 #117 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Of course maybe I should put this into perspective and be glad I have a desk to sit at and a phone to make the call on Tuesday unlike the people in Oklahoma. I mean my big problem right now is planning a cruise? How fortunate am I. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malaga to San Juan on Adventure then New York for 5 days. It was just after hurricane Sandy and it was freezing. Worked out cheaper flying to New York than San Juan to Edinburgh. If Q is Southampton to Bayonne it will be a cold cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smoosh21 Posted May 22, 2013 #123 Share Posted May 22, 2013 This "commoner" is planning to book the Transatlantic...and RCCL knows that :p...I told them that last week on their Blog...and they said they were "glad to hear it"...so "commoners" will be allowed :D Well I am going to check out the prices. I have already done 2 TA with Royal, both times in OS. Although I seriously doubt I could afford the OS on this sailing. Heck, an inside might cost as much as my recent TA cruise.

CruisenLexie Posted May 22, 2013 #124 Share Posted May 22, 2013 In today's press release it said Quantum would be sailing out of NJ through April 2015. Any thoughts on what happens next? I am guessing Quantum will move elsewhere and Anthum will take her place in NJ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
