This is Weird

I am sailing on the 9 September 2018 Jewel of the Seas from Rome. My roll call has apparently disappeared.

 

Not only that, but the ship has suddenly been sold out. There were quite a few cabins remaining this week; I was idly thinking about upgrading my adult kids and brother from their inside cabins on deck 10 to something with a sea view.

 

I know from reading this board that an entire ship can be chartered. Or maybe the Hell's Angels are having a convention.

 

I know I should phone, but has this happened before?

I've seen ships suddenly become sold out and a few weeks later the company announces the charter.

 

However, I've not seen roll calls instantly disappear as a result.

Disappeared from the UK Site too.. looks like a potential ship charter. Don't do anything with your booking as you'll lose out on any OBC offered. They'll contact you in the next few weeks / whenever the feel like it ito let you know if it is a charter

If you do, don't be surprised if they don't know anything. Many times the charter was confirmed here while phone reps still didn't know anything.

This happened to us TWICE with bookings on the Rhapsody........ :o

 

Weeks Later, on both occasions, we we told THEY CANCELED THE CRUISE!!:loudcry:

 

It was a real nightmare changing to other cruises - RCI gave us Extra $400 OBC, but we still felt cheated.:(

Roll call here. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2482714

 

Doesn't help the possible charter situation but the roll call still exists.

Thanks everyone.

 

I guess I'll wait and watch. I appreciate the advice, but I won't tell the kids yet, just in case we're all wrong! (Although Bob never is 😏.) I thought I was doing well to coordinate 8 people with jobs and school, but I guess I might be doing it again.

Personally- I'd put a deposit on another cruise (and keep the booking until they tell you it's cancelled and give you some type of compensation). If you put a deposit on another cruise and the Jewel isn't cancelled- then you can decide which one to do.
