Rare BillOh Posted March 7, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Went to the website today to check on my next cruise. Saw the new design and started looking ahead to next year. The website seems to use the same logic as the old one. I searched on April-May of 2016 5-9 night cruises and got this result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayblue Posted March 7, 2015 #2 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I actually booked last night. Yesterday, I tried searching the site using the same method and will say that it does need more work. Part of it is using the same format as before, the other part the new. I was happy with some of the changes, but feel that they need to completely overhaul it from top to bottom. That would take some time. Can they honestly afford to take it offline for an extended amount of time to get it done? Given the the fact that their customer ratings have already been slipping, I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sg1phileshipper Posted March 7, 2015 #3 Share Posted March 7, 2015 First page is new and looks good. But when I log in, the page is the same as before. And still need to learn how to navigate. Oh well, I guess I'll learn in time Cindy Verzonden vanaf mijn iPad met Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKrise Posted March 7, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Based on the overall user experience with their web site, their overall repeat visits to the web site should decrease. They have had nearly 5 years to get this right and they still manage to screw it up more with each revision of the web site.

Bill I get exactly the same as you when trying to do a mock booking for a Jewel ALASKA cruise. Where is the RC cruise critic person! And I took a screen shot as well..

CVU Posted March 7, 2015 #7 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I found the Advance Search I did use before, it was under the box of picking your time and destination. That worked better as there were more cruises listed. I could pick multiple months. You can search by month then, same as before. It was an option that I didn't see on that site at first. Taking some getting used to again with this change, they are keeping us alert and making us use our minds and eyes.....:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BillOh Posted March 7, 2015 Author #9 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I feel so much better! I thought I was the only one with this was happening to. Thanks for the input. On the previous site I found if you were just browsing not to tell it where you lived and how many people. It was then it would give weird results, but this time I just picked a time period.

It's called simultaneous development. You work on the next version while the old one continues to function and just change the pointers when the new version is ready. It is really hard to believe a billion dollar company would release something this important to their business without testing it at least a little. I was a QA manager responsible for hardware software testing and this I found on my first visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted March 7, 2015 #11 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Are the filters for Senior and Military working for anyone? If I click Military it still shows the same 615 cruises. I know that there are some that have military rates but not all of them do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realtor at Sea Posted March 7, 2015 #14 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Just tried to bring up Navigator sailings and the web site gives a few sailings and then quickly changes to the 615 choices. Have tired multiple times! It is so frustrating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BillOh Posted March 7, 2015 Author #15 Share Posted March 7, 2015 just tried the same search on a different computer and worked better this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skylight Posted March 7, 2015 #20 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Not searching for cruises but tried to change my password all I got was a picture of the blue ocean. Interesting but typical of the website :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALASKA JEWEL DATE RANGE 6/1/15 - 6/30/15 SEATTLE BECOMES Allure 2 Day 625 cruises to choose from It is very broken!! Anyone wanting to pay online or book online are probably best calling to book instead until this is resolved. Wish I could video the transitions from page to page to prove I am not insane;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogi636 Posted March 7, 2015 #22 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I found that after the search screen changed to the 625 choices if I went back a page then forward one it brings me to the actual correct cruise count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't do this it would give more sane results. This time all I did was specify April and May of 2016 and it returned the bade results.
