Sold Out Cruise Help

[Gail Boertzel]

It is my understanding that some large travel agencies book rooms on a particular cruise without having sold them to specific passengers. Is there an easy way (besides contacting numerous agencies) to try and find out if a particular agency has booked a block of rooms to see if any are still available when the cruise line website states it is Sold Out.

 

Thank you for any guidance.

Try a Google search for the particular cruise...name the ship and sailing date. See if any online agency states they have cabins for that cruise.

Unsold Travel Agency Group Space is recalled 120 - 150 days before a ship sets sail depending on the length of the cruise.

 

So if you are talking about a cruise that is 4 -5 months away you may get lucky with TA group space.

 

If you are talking about a cruise that is 4 -5 weeks or days away then Sold Out is Sold Out.

Also, try and see if any agencies in other countries have blocks.

 

Our NCL cruise was showing as sold out on the website and some popular US online agencies when doing a google search.

 

The UK website we had booked with still had OVs available at this time. This was 2 months out.
