Florida_cruisers Posted April 3, 2018 #2251 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Did I miss Royal announcement about ships calling on Punta Cana? This itinerary looks great. We haven’t been to any of those ports outside of PR. Unfortunately DH has been itching to go on one of the big ships for a long time, so he’s insisting we book the Harmony out of PC instead. It’s just a big ship, who cares? I’d rather see the world in a smaller ship. Our travel differences are very apparent, which doesn’t make me happy.

Blizzard54 Posted April 3, 2018 #2252 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Panama Canal for October/November/December 2019 (total of 4) on Vision are now on RCI's website. Once again, C&A members were not given early preferential booking time.:( P.S. No bargains! You can see them on the website but if you try to book it you get full price w/o any discount. I called to get prices and was told that they were still loading so she could not give pricing or book anything yet. They are starting the prices crazy high. The insides are about $300 more that the current prices for the Jewel 2019 PC's. I would like to do a PC on Royal but will not do it at those prices. I am trying hard to slow down my bookings to take advantage of close in deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saab4444 Posted April 3, 2018 #2253 Share Posted April 3, 2018 The Legend sale was announced less than a year out. There is no demand for another ship within the Royal group before Spring 20. TUI builds new ships and just extended Mercury, Marella can take only one ship per year and is covered in 18 and 19 already, Pullmantur is not growing enough but Majesty would be next for them.

Dett Posted April 3, 2018 #2254 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Yep, more 2020 sailings out today. Just booked Serenade for 11 nights in January. Including Columbia, Panama and Costa Rica:p We just booked as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeck Posted April 3, 2018 #2255 Share Posted April 3, 2018 The Legend sale was announced less than a year out. The way they handled the Mariner global odyssey, Jewel and Brilliance Ta's, I don't think anything is guaranteed anymore. If they get an offer, it will be gone and we will have to pick up the pieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaritimeR&R Posted April 3, 2018 #2258 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Very early this morning, upon looking at some of the fall and winter sailings, I noticed that for some of the sailings I was booking that the refundable deposit price was less than the non refundable. I booked them online and then called C & A to have my solo supplement applied. The agent was surprised at what he said was clearly an error. My assumption is that they will likely (if they haven't already ) correct this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srdancer Posted April 3, 2018 #2259 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Tried to (dummy) book a veranda cabin on an 11 day Anthem out of Cape Liberty for Jan 2020. Said no cabins available for 2 people. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srdancer Posted April 3, 2018 #2260 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Also just read (I guess I am behind times) new post-final-payment date refund policy. Much higher penalties earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kccrzr Posted April 3, 2018 #2266 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Isn't that the truth. Always a promise of early access that never happens. I couldn't believe the pricing and also that the "good real estate" wasn't available. Must have been snapped up by TAs. Last week I received an email from RCI re C&A benefits and noticed that the chart reads “priority notice” re offers, new ships and itineraries. And the email I received this morning regarding the new deployment states it is providing “exclusive notice” that bookings can be made. So it seems RCI may not be promising exclusive booking periods any longer. I think the only time I was able to take advantage of an exclusive booking period was on Quantum.

Last at least 4 years lot of sailings were open same day and time for everyone, usually middle of nite. When released last nite between 8-10pm EST most of good cabins like Aft/Corner's were available, by this morning most were gone. Got to be quick...

shipfriend_max Posted April 4, 2018 #2272 Share Posted April 4, 2018 (edited) For some reason the 10/30/2019 Vision PC is not showing on the website.The one before and 2 after are there. I am also wondering that this itinerary is still missing, but I am sure the next days it will be uploaded. With Jewel's Panama Canal sailings it was the same. First the westbound itinerary was released, the other eastbound cruise came up a few days later. Nice to see Jewel heading to Arabic Emirates/Dubai again. Her Dubai/Arab itineraries are up now on Cruisecal. Edited April 4, 2018 by shipfriend_max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
