I mean I have only seen a few on here that are over the top for the freaking Flowrider. Tried it once, no desire to do it again. Got to give 6,000+ people things to do on those sea days.

Billy Baltic Posted September 16, 2021 #152 Share Posted September 16, 2021 So RC are giving themselves until October 13th to complete the moves but what’s other people’s experience of similar changes? Do they normally leave it close to that date or will people start getting revised bookings in the coming days? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suite passenger moves may get messy, but someone in a balcony stateroom is an easy switch. They are likely to keep the same room number, even.

CalTexCruiser Posted September 17, 2021 #155 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I just noticed my 7-day May 2022 Mediterranean reservation is now showing as a 6-day Caribbean cruise. I hope that's just a glitch--I looked up a map and was able to determine that the Caribbean Sea is over 5,000 miles away from the Mediterranean Sea. Perhaps the fact that both ends with "ean" confused the IT geniuses at RC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLS is $12,000 GS is $9,005 Ultimate Family Suite for 4/1/2022 is $36,300 for 4. No April Fools Joke either. OS's are $13,900 now and only 3 left out of 10, for some reason that sailing the 18th is selling well compared to sailing before and after that date?

The itinerary for the 18th is different - St Maarten, St Thomas and coco cay. I thought it was more appealing which was why I chose that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the kids and grandkids are along for the ride, the Oasis class are great. If it’s just the DW and I, we like Celebrity suite experience better and the ships smaller and more manageable. We have traded three Allure/Oasis cruise in the next year for Celebrity. (Four if you want to include the is-it-cancelled-isn’t-it-cancelled-will-it-be-cancelled Harmony TA.😜😜 ) mac_tlc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baowen Posted September 18, 2021 #167 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Well I'm very excited about this news. I am booked on the TA April 2022 and I'd much rather be on the Wonder than the older Allure! The Allure was a L&S from the Harmony. Will need to rebook airfare as the Wonder leaves 4 days earlier but that's worth it!! Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw1816 Posted September 18, 2021 #168 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I’m also see the Allure western Caribbean listed in my upcoming cruise. No doubt it’s a placeholder/limitation of their booking engine etc. - But would it be too much to ask for RC to communicate this sort of thing ? I can just image how many see this and call in panic. Come on RC, you manage to email me constantly to sell me shorex, drinks packages, dining options and other ‘Don’t miss out on this opportunity’ upsells. Surely you can email updates on the booking process 🤔 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal has released all the staterooms for sale before moving guests over yet again. This means for the suites or those that chose a particular cabin it may be taken by someone booking today. Why cant they just move everyone over and then announce the changes and open the sailing up for booking.. Anyways, just booked the March 4 sailing. We are on the SY the week after in an OS. probably end up solo on this one as DW won't be able to get the time off. Do you know when the European cruises go on sale? I had a look yesterday but could only see the Caribbean ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCI is showing the 16th and the 30th as cancelled....but has now put me in the on Allure Carib for a 6 night for the 10/23. Not happy about it, and called. Why cancel the first and third...but not the second leg? "They will be working on it" ...uh..huh.... I am getting a bad feeling of a rat's nest about to happen with this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, open for new bookings on the 22nd...but not transferring the current Allure pax to Wonder until complete by 10/13. New ship...less number of suites. Going to book up quick...even the rep on the phone told me that. Trying to be sure we (Allure cancelled pax) will get transferred when most (or all?) suite cabins are taken by new bookings first? Doesn't make sense. Wish they would block off cabins to be sure we can still get transferred....as promised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my sailing on May 22, all the Star Class suites were taken--if they open those up for new bookings before transferring the existing bookings, then we will be screwed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
