shirazcruiser: Speaking as a person in IT for many years... it has absolutely nothing to do with technology, software or hardware!
It has to do with the decisions from above in RCL.
Starry Eyes: I agree, when you buy something you should understand what the agreement is BUT when Execs from that company plainly state publicly that the options will shortly change (like precruise booking) than that is what u expect.
I booked UPD but again if they misrepresented the fact that pre-cruise booking will be available after Jan... will return it!
