Pencruise Posted March 22, 2017 #2251 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Just booked Vision 12 nights from Barcelona to Barcelona for June 2018 and it is $800 cheaper than the Brilliance is this year which we are also doing for the same itinerary.

Clarea Posted March 22, 2017 #2252 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Thank you - you are always so helpful. And will that apply if I use an open booking number? I didn't have a TA assigned to that on purpose so I would have options. Technically, you should be able to transfer an open booking too. The rule used to be that you could transfer up to 60 days after you first assign it to a cruise. However, you may want to confirm that before you purchase an open booking. I've found that the number of folks working in corporate that know of these obscure rules keeps getting smaller, so you may have to jump through some hoops to transfer the open booking if it's been more than 60 days since it was purchased.

Rare kernow Posted March 22, 2017 #2253 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Thanks everyone for posting. On a whim just called RCL uk and booked Jewel TA 5th Nov and managed to snag GS 1600 corner aft. Total price for 2 was £4238 with C and A discount, gratuites, $200 obc and return flights from London. I think that's a pretty good price!

MindyJohn Posted March 22, 2017 #2254 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Not a prob...much of the info I used came from the good people contributing to this roll last year and especially this one. Bob (Clarea) thanks for setting me straight on the Roll Call starter. I feel stupid but am happy today; we were going to be 2 points shy of Diamond after our spring/'18!transatlantic we just booked but because it is a 14-nighter we will be Diamond after ut instead of our current "Rusty Scrap Steel" status. Not sure why you feel stupid - it appears you did very well - if you're referring to the TA when you'll be in 1100, that means you're getting 28 points - Congrats!!!

Goodtime Cruizin Posted March 22, 2017 #2259 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Wowza. Earlier, I placed a '24 hour hold' on the May/Brilliance/GS and so after confirming w/ the DW, I called back to place the deposit & firm things up. The rep tells me there was a clerical error of $159 to our benefit. :) On a personal note, the 9th day of this cruise will place us to the Diamond level. Thanks to all that participated in posting info on this thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyventures Posted March 22, 2017 #2261 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Summer 2018 Europe sailings are starting to load on non-RCCL booking sites. Seems like RCCL's site just gets worse and worse. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merly Posted March 22, 2017 #2269 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I have been waiting for the T/ A's to be released but am very disappointed with the itineraries. Can't see any that go from Florida,in April next year, around the Caribbean and into Southampton. They are stopping this end. The Indy only has one stop in Ireland. Not sure what we will be doing now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodtime Cruizin Posted March 22, 2017 #2270 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I called 866-562-7625 to book direct. Several times. In quite a few times. LOL Finally, around 1pm as a previous rep stated, Brilliance was available to book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immy619 Posted March 22, 2017 #2271 Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) Has RC lost their marbles? Looked at the 12-day Russian cruise on Navigator and they're looking for $6800 for the cheapest balcony. I booked a later 14-day also on Navigator for $4800 balcony. Amazing price per night differences for 2018. Edited March 22, 2017 by immy619 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renech Posted March 22, 2017 #2272 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Can I get some quick input about Vision class (Rhapsody, in particular) corner aft cabins? What are the differences/advantages of the JS corner on deck 8 vs the D1 on deck 7? I've stayed in both on other ships but not his class. I've read that the JS does not have the walk-in closet, but yes to the tub. I'm sure it's a bit bigger, but are those about the only differences?

crzndeb Posted March 22, 2017 #2273 Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) I did get the WB Serenade TA booked. I really like the itinerary. I had an NCL TA booked, but this was same price for an interior, plus I had a Nextcruise Cert. I am also holding the 7 day prior, and will probably put the deposit since I can get same cabin. That 7 day is crazy expensive and way over what I allow as a daily budget for solo, but it may drop. Lots of time before the cruise. I was going to look at a solo cabin, but their pricing was all caddywampus. It was $1500 more than an interior. I will keep the interior and get double points.

I felt stupid being that after I booked the Jewel I started a Meet/Mingle roll call on the general Royal forum (twice yet) instead of in the Jewel M & M where it should have been. Bob and Karen ("Internetwhiz") came to my rescue. How is John? You have no doubt been busy watching for cruises but we are missing you on the Jewel roll, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
