crazy4themouse Posted December 9, 2022 #7 Share Posted December 9, 2022 We were booked on the inaugural... Had my PVP on the phone within moments of the dates being announced, specifically to be on that sailing. I get that things happen and stuff gets delayed, but the ship is sold out for months -- and now we can't get on the inaugural, which is apparently going to be December 23rd. That is so wrong... They should be bumping people in order of who booked last, to reschedule people who booked to be on that first sailing. 🙁 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisingnana Posted December 9, 2022 #9 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Had a great Casino offer on this 1st sailing on Thanksgiving sailing . Don't think this offer will compare! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shof515 Posted December 9, 2022 #10 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Since the ship will sailing empty across the pond i am guessing that is due to them planning on doing last minute final touches before it gets to Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when people see its the first sailing now and wont want to sail when they will still be fixing some items and have a few issues as they always do on initial sailings.

Booking inaugural sailings is always risky as delays are fairly common. Enjoy your FCC and OBC and rebook a later date. 😎 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracyjj0 Posted December 9, 2022 #17 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Presumably the 25% fcc is only on the monies already paid ie 25% of the deposit, or is it 25% of the whole cruise fare, minus port fees and tax? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol- that's what I've been thinking. They "generously" offered 25% FCC on the "paid" fare and since it's so far out nearly everyone has just paid the deposit. That means a great FCC of $75-100 dollars, lol. And the 100 per person OBC I already had with the Jubilee booking so you know, it is what it is. Supply problems were the case back when they opened up bookings for this ship. They most likely knew then that it would never make those dates but sold the rooms anyway for the temporary infusion of cash. Now try getting the ship, not to mention some of the rooms anywhere close to the original booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When this happened to us with the Mardi Gras, it was 25% of the base cruise fare, not 25% of what you had already paid. 😎 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xkritter Posted December 9, 2022 #24 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I thought by booking 12/16 we'd miss any delays. There goes my corner aft suite. And my next planned chance for a Watermelon Crush. Time to cruise shop.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancerTXST Posted December 9, 2022 #25 Share Posted December 9, 2022 For anyone with past experience in a similar rebooking offer of the 25% FCC, I am assuming the stateroom passenger total has to match to receive that? Does anyone have any experience from the Mardi Gras delay of rebooking from say 3 passengers to 2, do they prorate the FCC amount perhaps, or force your to rebook the same amount? Thanks in advance!
