bob brown Posted January 6, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I have been monitoring (lurking?) several roll calls, as well as the cruise line web sites, and see that some people have successfully snagged a last minute booking, even after the cruise was no longer offered on the web site... I assume they did this either by calling the line or some TA... Anyone have recent experience doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonvoyagie Posted January 6, 2019 #4 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I am not sure about how close to a sail date they have - but I do know that they can reserve blocks of cabins but only for a limited amount of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TA releases inventory prior to Final or if recalled by the cruise line at anytime . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare terry&mike Posted January 7, 2019 #6 Share Posted January 7, 2019 It depends on the cruise line, the deal they made with the cruise line, and how often they are actively booking in to the group. A TA with a good relationship with the line or with their BDM (line rep) can hold a block of cabins for a good bit of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
