kayakcove Posted August 4, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Curious on cabin listings for booking sailings I see three results, ‘available’, ‘waitlist’ and ‘closed’. Waitlist is easy enough to understand, what does ‘closed’ translate to? Just booked Vista for May 11, 2024, in a B2 with three in the cabin. Looking at the listing again B2 shows up as ‘available’, when starting a booking for three it becomes “closed’. I then tested it as a party of two and it showed up as ‘waitlist”. I know there are fewer cabins available for three, but someone can still cancel this far out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be identified on the deck plan. So, depending on your cabin pick for more than two folks, it will be available or waitlisted if it has the sofa bed and not available if it doesn’t accommodate more than 2 people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted August 4, 2023 #3 Share Posted August 4, 2023 It could be the lifeboat capacity for the area is full so they cannot accommodate 3 pax in that lifeboat section bet they already accounted for 2 pax adding another PAX would not be allowed Each section on the ship is assigned to a specific life boat they have a maximum capacity Category Closed might mean the wait list if reached the max number so not going to wait list any more in that category Just guessing of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancellation rates are probably a negative indicator, not one they want to “gin up”. JMO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FetaCheese Posted August 5, 2023 #6 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Have noticed Cat. S solo is often closed. In my opinion, If CXL made, O would most likely assign that cabin to an OV GTY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not there are more people looking a travelling solo these days Sometimes the entertainers/guest performers were put in those cabins in the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
