Rare vacationlover_mn Posted March 8, 2017 #1301 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Has anyone been able to book a suite on SOS? Every time I try to select it as an option, including the TA, it doesn't return any room options... could it be booked up, I wonder?

texmex.ferr Posted March 8, 2017 #1303 Share Posted March 8, 2017 100% correct Margaret. Have you booked yet?? We're waiting for Jewel Eastern TA for 2018 to come out. We're want to try the other way with Jeff & Brenda!! Have you booked yet? Did you have a Boardwalk or CentralPark balcony on HOTS? Did you enjoy the location?

gaylemh Posted March 8, 2017 #1304 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I believe Adventure will be going to NJ...not sure if it will be replacing or in addition to Anthem. I read that Freedom will becoming to Bayonne to do sailings to New England and Canada. Anthem's not going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud_nine Posted March 8, 2017 #1305 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Has anyone been able to book a suite on SOS? Every time I try to select it as an option, including the TA, it doesn't return any room options... could it be booked up, I wonder? Just looked on the UK website and there are plenty of suites left, even on the TA. Could be that the US site is glitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiiergirl Posted March 8, 2017 #1306 Share Posted March 8, 2017 UPDATE...just got a call from RCCL, as I happen to be working from home today. Someone following up to make sure I got everything booked ok. I asked her about it and she said as the other posts suggested...that my booking still has the taxes from my other booking on it, and that their finance dept audits them once or twice a month and will update all taxes and port charges to match the current sailing. So I am booked with the ship rate for SOS, but the taxes and port fees for Adventure southern Caribbean. She unlike the last guy seemed very confident and said this is not new to SOS, just the way it goes with moving Next Cruise bookings. I have always gotten very good service from RCCL on all occasions, but it always seems much more confident and precise during core business hours. Guessing like most businesses they rely heavily on 3rd Party Vendors to take many if not all of their phone calls off hours. Thanks for the replies on the quandary. I am not sure that is the case. Our "taxes and port fees" seem higher than they should be. I also "transferred" a booking and my "taxes and port fee" amount did not remain the same. Mine dropped but the other sailing was longer with more ports, etc....but the new amount is still higher than what I am accustomed to paying. I have an inquiry into my TA to question.

Schplinky Posted March 8, 2017 #1307 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Tried to get central park window on 9th floor for random SOS sailing in Feb and March-- sold out per my TA and also online!! is this true or do they hold back certain cabins to be released later? Sorry to disappoint but they don't hold back cabins. Their goal is to sell. That said, it's early days and some people are booking multiple things, will settle on the right thing, and then will release their other bookings. I'd keep checking over time, if i were you.

ryansmum Posted March 8, 2017 #1308 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Hi Clodagh, and Kayleigh. I've done a few bookings in the past few years either on Celebrity or Royal whilst onboard the ships for future cruises, and I have always been told that we can change it once, for another cruise without any penalty, that's one of the reasons I try to book something whilst onboard, and to get any extra perks for the sailing. I have always said we are from the UK, and been told there's no problem. Also, if it's booked onboard and a better deal comes out (ie drinks package etc), it can be changed to without penalty. Someone on here yesterday, also confirmed that I can change a Royal Future booking for a Celebrity booking and vice versa, which I didn't know!!!! Margaret Hi Margaret, We've done a few next cruise bookings and never had any problems changing them later - booked onboard with UK and US. I wasn't able to change our Celebrity to RCI though, I've had to put it against another Celebrity for next year (for now).

BoiseBeth Posted March 8, 2017 #1309 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I'm anxiously watching for bookings to become available. My extended family is hoping to catch a 5-6 day RC cruise in May 2018 out of a Florida port. Sounds like Brilliance might fall into that? Fingers crossed.

Brilliance will probably be in Europe by May. You will be able to catch a 7-day cruise out of Florida, but the ships that do 5-6 day cruises may be gone by May.

3redheads Posted March 8, 2017 #1318 Share Posted March 8, 2017 You might be just as well looking at Celebrity as they have some itineraries that overnight in Dubrovnik, on Constellation from memory. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Forums mobile app I've never sailed Celebrity. I was concerned that there wouldn't be enough to do. I will look into this! Thanks so much.

Sent from my SGP312 using Forums mobile app Hi Lorraine, I didn't think it was possible either, but Bigeck posted something about it yesterday, and I asked the question and someone else said it can be done!! We've never changed anything we've booked in advance so far, this will be the first time. Margaret Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
