Just checked 2020 no suites and no balconies left . 

Wow! They went fast, but with 1400 people on the list I suspect they will be gone by the end of the day. This is one cruise that I wouldn't hesitate to do without a balcony, if no choice - we used ours so little this last cruise. With 50 bands (supposedly), we will be living by the pool! 🙂

Thanks! Did you notice Aqua?

[George C]

No balconies of any kind

[George C]

I should have booked aqua for 2019 cruise, once you get it you are locked in as long as you buy it.

Last year they had some available within a couple of weeks Tuesday at 8 PM for the waitlist announcement, including S1 6145  - I didn't get to it on time. AQ popped up a few times as available on Tuesday nights, if you are on waitlist.

Thanks. I’ve been on a call since 9am, and can only now look again. Oh well😕

It is worth it for us, 

Thanks! This is what I was trying, rather ineffectually lol, to ask. Need more coffee! (I wanted to know if you would book Aqua again, on Infinity, despite any issues you had with Blu on your cruise.) We’ve been in Aqua once before, on Summit, deck 11, and we did think the Aqua concept had great merit (mostly for Blu) but we had significant issues with timely access to Blu on our cruise. DH loved the calm breakfasts, and we both appreciated the mostly great service & less hectic ambience at dinner.

They only have oceanview left. All insides now gone...

I booked a cabin for FPC 2020!  So excited for our first FPC.  Got online at 0600 PST and was able to get 1143, an inside cabin on deck 11.  Our last cruise was on the Edge in Aqua & S3 so this will be quite the change.  But I figure it's only for a week, we're there for the music, and only one deck above the OVC and bar. It's an aft cabin below the Roof Top Terrace so don't know if there will be noise from above.  We'll have 17 days to recuperate and then we have a cruise booked in Aqua.  Hope to meet some of you on-board!

It appears they could have sold out the Oasis of the seas 😁

The web site said the FP cruise opens to the public on 4/11, so I guess all cabins will be gone by then😞

Yay! Congrats!!🙂

 

Like I said, I would have taken any cabin to be onboard. You can still be on the weekly wait list to upgrade , if available.

 

I did start a roll call so we have a year to plan!!

Congratulations!

We were lucky enough to get a balcony cabin for next year (our first FPC) by logging in right at 9 a.m. today.  I read on this thread that the usual Elite perks like the happy hour drinks, etc. do not apply since it is a charter.  Does anyone know if any of the Elite perks apply - for instance the 90 minutes of internet or the bag of laundry?

 

Really looking forward to this cruise especially after reading this thread!!!

You can get on the wait list and see what turns up!

[first mate]

Great, I'll sign up for the roll call.  They asked what size tee-shirt we wanted...do they run true to size or big?

I was able to purchase an internet package using my Elite Plus discount ahead of time, but once onboard there are no CC perks (except embarkation lines - it did have my level on my SeaPass card for some reason). You do get CC points for the cruise. We were dirty hippies and didn't do laundry. 😉

They are 100% cotton but didn't shrink much - true to size (unisex).

Vt & George, do you use StarVista's travel protection, or another travel insurance? Are you able to choose your show "group" (early or late)? Thanks😎

We always get their insurance - it is pricey but I haven't compared.  Early on you can choose Gold or Silver, but I think by the end, you have to take what is left. Being an older crowd, my guess is that the Gold (early show/late dining) is the last to go, but not sure.

Thanks! I think we’d prefer the Gold.

When I booked this morning, the only choice I had was Early show/Late dining.

Thanks! It will be great to meet all of you if I manage to snag a cabin😎✌️

Just checked and there are only three cabins left on the whole ship, all ocean views. One is on deck six, the very front of the ship and the other two are on deck two, the very rear of the ship.
