Anyone like me who was disappointed that Symphony was going to be sailing out of Barcelona instead of Rome, may want to check out the recently added listed sailings for Symphony. ;-)

 

Would love to see the schedule before the TA

There are Symphony sailings out of Rome that just opened today. (Interporting)

Cruises from San Juan will be 7-day cruises on Jewel and Freedom. They alternate itineraries, so you can do a B2B2B starting with the TA and have 3 different itineraries. They should open sometime next week.

Have the JW Caribbean itineraries been listed? (I know not available to book but didn't know if I had missed the itineraries/dates for after it returns to SJU.) While I agree that typically you can do a b2b out of SJU and get different itineraries that is not always the case. In Dec 2016 instead of doing A,B,A,B, Adventure did A,B,B,B between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Symphony has a charter immediately before the TA.

Cabin 1100

It was $5014 with C&A Diamond+ discount. $800 higher than cabin 9256

 

9256 was available 20 mins ago

The weird thing about this cruise is that the GS cabins were listed as the same price as the JS. I paid the same as you quoted for the JS as for the last GS. Go figure. I wonder if the JS prices will go down in the future.

 

In any case, I'm satisfied.

The 5K price was a JS on Brilliance going Westbound.

I believe you booked Eastbound??

 

The westbound Brilliance GSs were much more than a JS.

 

You got a fantastic deal!!

 

See you on Jewel....

Just did the same thing for the Fall TA. GS same price as JS. That can't last. About $5K for two all in with C&A balcony discount.

 

Wanted the Serenade but much too expensive for me . 8K for JS, over 5K for normal balcony.

 

Also looked at Indy, about $5300 for JS.

Thank you for the heads up. I don't think that GS price is going to last.

Don't ask me how it happened, but I did get the westbound price for $5014.52. It was the last GS. I jumped on it!

Problem with that (for me) is that I'm solo and they aren't selling studio cabins (which are VERY reasonably priced) from Rome.

I booked a studio from Barcelona before I knew they were going to offer some sailings from Rome. Oh well, at least I got one.

 

Have you seen the prices for the studio cabins on the Jewel? Over $2300 plus fees - the standard inside cabins are priced hundreds less. But the new cabin categories are "whacked". How can they justify deck 2 being $141 more than deck 3 - both forward :confused: I was considering moving to Jewel once the sailings were released but the pricing is outrageous.......and only having 3 studio cabins on the ship doesn't help.

Finally have a booking! Dec 1st on the Rhapsody - starts in Venice and ends in Barcelona. I don't know how the weather will be but I got an aft balcony for what some ships were asking for an inside. I'll wear my winter jacket if need be :) looking forward to seeing Montenegro again!

The way it sounded when I spoke to them, they basically will balance the demand. So if those cabins don't start booking for the date you are booked, they would become available 4 days later leaving from Rome instead. No idea how they maximize cabin capacity that way, it can't possibly be more profitable. Seems to me that the few more cabins you book by offering the option, would be offset and then some by potentially having cabins empty for 3-4 days at a time. Anyway, who cares. Bottom line is the option is available for most if they want it. Guessing that will shuffle over time, so keep checking on your studio.
