Deployment 2018-19 booking season begins

[Pencruise]

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.

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.

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!

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!!!

Someone on here booked the 1st May baltic over the phone so I called and asked about the Ta and Bingo

Can you tell me how many days and the ports?

[Goodtime Cruizin]

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!

Alex, if you don't mind me asking, which number do you use? My TA is having a terrible time getting any sense on the phones for the cruises we're wanting

 

Thanks Carol

Summer 2018 Europe sailings are starting to load on non-RCCL booking sites. Seems like RCCL's site just gets worse and worse. :rolleyes:

I just booked JS 1100 coming back to the US on Brilliance Sept 1st...[emoji41]

 

Take care of it......lol

 

Overall I booked 5 TAs in 2018 (Aft corners).....now I just got to figure out which ones we'll be doing. Feels like I've been on the phone with that poor rep for hours.

 

Thanks to Everyone for the heads up!!

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.

[Goodtime Cruizin]

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.

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.

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?

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.

Hi, Mindy and congrats right back at you for hetting what you wanted!

 

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,

[IndyCapt]

the repo is only 6 nights however. :confused:

Which repo is only 6 nights? I'm waiting for the Oct 2018 Serenade repo to come out...
