Slidell_Cruiser Posted March 22, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 22, 2017 So far this deployment season, new cruises have been showning up on the RC website...Symphony, Alaska, now some of the 2018 TA's, this morning, without the email to C&A members giving them a day or so to review and book before general release. I do not recall any information or previous discussion on this RC policy change. Please provide any info you have. Thanks to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted March 22, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Experience in the last few years has been that there is no C&A advance access to the new itineraries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kernow Posted March 22, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I had an email this morning entitled '2018 sailings from the UK launching now | Early booking window opens today!' 'Just you, a book, and a Mediterranean beach for company... sheer bliss. Our 2018 sailings from the UK are available now. As a Crown and Anchor Society member, make the most of your exclusive booking window today! Book before 1st May 2017 for 30% off your cruise fare, plus up to $400 onboard spending. Selected 2018 sailings - Terms and Conditions apply .' It appears that all the sailings are on the website available for anyone to book though so not really sure what they are talking about!Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted March 22, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 22, 2017 RCL has send out that email promising early booking for C and A members the past couple of years but the early access has never happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jticarruthers Posted March 22, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 22, 2017 No policy change ... it has been RCI policy for years to tell us that we are getting early access when in fact we are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Teeara Posted March 22, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Agreed. I received early notice for Alaska and the Caribbean, but not for the TAs. I, too, noticed the NOS 2018 was open for booking about an hour ago. Very few suites are available now. So maybe only those in Europe received advanced notice and not in the US?

BobK in NJ Posted March 22, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Just booked Vision out of Barcelona in 2018. Had to call for the reservation and still nothing showing on the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFerrington Posted March 22, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Just booked Vision out of Barcelona in 2018. Had to call for the reservation and still nothing showing on the website. Same for me with the Serenade westbound TA. I booked it today but it is still not published on the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSCruiser Posted March 22, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Booked the Oct. 18 TA on the Indy this morning. Some cabin types (especially Promenade) were almost gone within a few hours of the cruise being listed. Who is reserving all of these - is it blocking by TAs? If so, should not be allowed to that extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodtime Cruizin Posted March 23, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I booked today @ 1:11pm. Received my C&A letter announcing the cruise I booked at 4:38pm. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeRick Posted March 23, 2017 #11 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I actually got a C&A pre-book email yesterday for Europe 2018-19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RecoveryDude Posted March 23, 2017 #12 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I DID get a C&A advance notice email. it came March 16th. "2018-2019 Caribbean Itineraries - Exclusive Booking Window Now Open." I was able to click the links in the email and book on Harmony. Those same dates were NOT live on the "regular" RCCL site at that time. I will say that this email was in my "promotional" (like spam) folder so maybe you all are getting the email but it's getting filtered out of your inbox???
