Moon Orchid Posted July 1 #1 Share Posted July 1 Hello - We are sailing out August 25th on Odyssey and my daughter wants to join. We check the Royal website daily, but it appears sold out and the sailing no longer populates. Can you please confirm whether it is actually sold out? Thank you very much!

Unfortunately the sailing is currently closed.(sold out) with no ability to even waitlist a cabin. There is a chance that cabins open back up but it's a small chance and prices will probably be crazy high if they do.

Another good reason to not only use a TA for questions, but to use them to book as well. They typically have better ability to make examples like this happen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCI was still taking bids even though it showed sold out. I won a bid on one of them. (Cancellations, no shows, etc.) But this one, won't even let me try to bid. When I emailed the WC desk, she told me due to over sold condition they were not even putting the bid system out there. Soooo...it indeed it DOES have something to do with it in my case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth it. Seriously? Bids are a 3rd party operation and you are trying to argue with a RCL call center agent about it? No wonder they give you something - so you free up their line for serious stuff.... Edited July 1 by cruiseboy89130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate Ken helpful advices. He is so kind when we need help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
