No idea and they are for select sailings only. I never usually pay attention to when they do those promos...no actual kids. 😉 Edited December 19, 2019 by island lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is prime incentive group booking time in Europe so they may be holding for tour operator. Vision has not been listed for a dry dock schedule at Cadiz yet for that time period. We are booked on the October 30th Vision TA. It's a bit concerning that there are still no October sailings before the this. We'd like to add a cruise preceding the TA either on Vision or another ship. I'm wondering if we are going to have a change or cancellation of the TA. I guess we'll have to wait for the rest of the sailings to be released. Hopefully soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a challenge booking on the cusp as well I almost added the Jewel Holy Land prior to our Suez and Dubai cruises. Those got cancelled, but they would likely not have released us from the Holy land cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least if the Vision TA is canceled, we can collect another FCC and some OBC! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will open up the second itinerary with GC, Jamaica and Cozumel Ken - Not sure if you have seen the pricing for Odyssey 2022 March sailings. At least for JS I am seeing a big increase. I did a dummy booking for March 12, 2021 and March 12, 2022 for the same J1 cabin with a Diamond C&A Balcony discount. 8 Night S Cariribbean March 12, 2021 - $6176.74 March 12, 2022 - $7,143.72 April is even higher at $7,581.72 Why would 2022 pricing be that much higher this far out? Shouldn't it be the other way around that 2022 pricing is lower? Thoughts anyone. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cruise at March break and Christmas and those were up comparable amounts. I booked the 8 night in March. Not cheap but I got a decent group rate on a 4D balcony which includes the aft cabins on deck 10 and 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah a 15% increase for a cruise a year later being booked now is high and odd to me. I haven't decided what month to book yet, but will book something and whatch for price drops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADflyer Posted December 20, 2019 #2165 Share Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) There are actually many ships where sailings have not been released. If I look at July 2021 we are still missing Brilliance, Explorer, Grandeur, Indy, Mariner, Navigator, Quantum, Spectrum and Voyager for instance. Of those ships it is true that the only ones not confirmed by press release or released cruise are Explorer and Indy. Indy port bookings have always indicated her staying in Port Everglades. While Explorer was first booked at Rome, then moved to Southampton and then considered for the Baltic port bookings at key ports have not followed and that has indicated she will stay in Miami and call mostly on ports that do not report like she does now with Nassau, Coco Cay and Labadee. The latest bookings for Explorer do indicate possible longer cruises calling on the ABC islands mixed in. There is a slight chance Explorer could spend some time in Galveston with current bookings, but it seems unlikely.

It was still coming up on the Royal ship list for July 2021. Port bookings at the Azores and other European ports do show "Grandeur' booked in 2021 as the ship registry has not been updated.

Saab4444 Posted December 20, 2019 #2168 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Grandeur will offer a great variety of Norway and Iceland cruises in 2021. A very good alternative to the less creative itineraries from Royal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was simply trying too discuss with a couple of others some of the reasons that Adventure might not visit certain areas / ports due to her lifeboats not being tenders. Sorry again. Adventure does visit Grand Cayman which is a tender port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
