Thanks to LonestarV on this thread.

You're welcome!

Love that early C and A access. A lot of the sailings are now available to book online:)

 

If they are showing online, they are available for all to book, aren't they?:confused:

The Harmony out of Pt. Canaveral is open but to get to it you have to search book by ship. If you do search by port and date for Port Canaveral, it says it's only open to April 2019. But if you search by ship you can get to the Harmony. PS the prices are much higher than the Oasis. Not inclined to do much if any early booking.

The newer the Ship seems the higher the price. We saw that when we attempted to book Harmony last year. We ended up on Allure at about 2/3 off before Casino rate. We booked Harmony for April 2018 at that time. Price had gone down a bit.

Sorry, my sense of humor is not what it used to be. I'm working on it. ;)

Has anyone been able to book Navigator of the Seas for May, 2019 or beyond? I can't see it on the website, and the young person I spoke to at the C&A desk said itineraries are loaded, pricing is not, and to wait a couple of months.Typical misinformation with these deployment schedules.

 

TYIA for any enlightenment.:)

The 3/4 nighters on Navigator and Mariner are not due out until next week.

Glad I'm not the only one underwhelmed with early access pricing. Wait and see mode for us. :(

 

Allure sailings are finally up and much more reasonable than Symphony and Harmony. "You set sail in 894 days" they tell me. OK, I guess I'll start the countdown clock. :D

Are the Ovation Alaska cruises going to be the one way north and south bound from Vancouver or the r/t from Seattle?

RT Seattle.

Thanks! I must have misread the schedule. At least I was forced into picking some dates for next week's rollout. :D

Karen, the schedule said that next week was the "short Caribbean". That may or may not include the 3/4 night Bahamas runs. I was thinking it was more the ships doing the 4/5 day itineraries. The schedule also said that the balance of the itineraries would be released in the spring.

Royal seemed to group the 3/4 nighters on Navigator and Mariner with the 4/5 nighters on Enchantment (all 3 are year round), so I think those 3 ships are the ones that will be released next week.

 

The other short itineraries on Indy & Brilliance (seasonal) were not mentioned in the press release, so I think those will be released later.

The two 3 night sailings on the HM out of PC are kind of pricey

Thanks, I just saw the release schedule based on geographic area and not where they listed the ships.

Check out the Dec 8 2019 Harmony western to Coco, Roatan, Costa Maya and Coz. Got a fairly "goodish" deal on an ocean view balcony. I believe for two all in was about $2000 with the refundable deposit. (you could get a little less if you don't want a higher deck) I had a cruise to transfer so I transferred that booking and deposit over. I would prefer a JS but the prices are not the "traditionally lower" Dec prices. If they come down I'll just upgrade but I won't hold my breath!

Yes, and no suites are available? Only JS.

Ovation RT Seattle? I bet that's going to be pricy. And you can't add on land trips to those can you?

 

Just trying to iinvestigate options for 2019.

Might be a bit more than current Explorer prices. You should be able to add Cruisetours to it.

That is my thought. I would prefer the one way with an extension to Denali, probably on our own. I would also like to go to Glacier Bay, so that probably lets out RCI altogether.

I concur with others who've posted here to say that the prices appear very high with these initial releases for 2019-2020. I always look for interior staterooms around the fall timeframe, often after the U.S. Thanksgiving, and even prices on Liberty are high :eek:

 

I previously had a 3V on Liberty booked for 3 people in October 2018 for $1,581 CAD. That same week in 2019 is $2,435 CAD right now :eek::eek::eek: (54% higher!!) (prices include taxes/port fees but not gratuities; for fully refundable deposits)

 

The only reason why I didn't keep the Liberty booking was because I found a good deal under KSF a month ago for Oasis after Thanksgiving in 2018. $2,021 and $2,067 (CAD) for a B2B in a 3V for 3 people. This was a significant price drop for Oasis from the initial Caribbean itinerary release earlier this year (the reason why I initially chose Liberty) and is also much lower than the current price for the same sailings.

 

I'm definitely in wait-and-see mode for 2019. If RCI doesn't drop the prices, our family vacation in 2019 will in all likelihood be at Disney World (are you listening, RCI?).

I'm going to hope for next week, regardless. Now that I have dates in mind, I'm ready to book! :D:D
