Oasis March 14th. 

Booking onboard is nice as you'll get onboard credit and a reduced deposit.   I'm not sure if you normally use a TA, but looking at the TA site there are group rates available, which is better than the current sale prices.

I was going to book for next spring break while onboard our next cruise, which sails Friday. However, the current sale ends tomorrow. Does anyone have any good information as to whether the next sail is basically the same? 

Which ship and sailing?

Great review...keeping me going until our Harmony B2B 2/9!  We enjoy cruising for a week and then going to Key West for a week.  That's the best...enjoy!!

I agree...you'll have time.  I always use wash and fold for some of my husband's things, but never send my clothes out.  (I do not dry most of my clothes)  So just be cautious if you have anything new or that you do not dry.  Also, I feel like everything must go in together as we've had colors come back a little faded and whites come back dingy.

I have seen these adds before and there is a current one. When I try to book this (paying attention to blackout dates) the deal doesn't materialize. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

What sailing are you looking at? 

Very valid question...I know a lot of people had to switch their cruises around this year due to the Super Bowl!

How long does it usually take them to credit back your card when you cancel?  I canceled something on December 28 and still no credit.  How long does it take?

It should take no more than 7-10 business days.  If you do not have your credit by the end of the week, I would call.

We've sailed on Oasis, Allure, and Harmony...just sailed on Anthem in late August and loved it!!  It was fun to try a different class of ships.  Looking forward to trying the Odyssey in 2021. 

We are on the Harmony 2/9 for a B2B and both weeks are showing as sold out!

Would 9560 or 10560 have a good view forward? I know it sounds silly but we usually have a hump balcony on Indy and some of the Anthem balconies seem quite set back. 

We sailed on Anthem at the end of August in 9172 & enjoyed the view/location.

We are doing a Harmony B2B in Feb.  My husband and I both got Expedited for both cruises.  We both have passports.  

I agree with others though...no real rhyme or reason who gets it and who doesn’t.🤔

We cruised out of Bayonne and enjoyed seeing the Statue of Liberty from our balcony.  We also sat out on our balcony at sailaway each day.  

If you're specifically asking about a regular oceanview, then I'd probably save the money.

I’m hoping some of the knowledgeable people here can help.

We are a family of five and usually  book the ultra spacious oceanview or ultra spacious balcony cabins that sleep 6. 
It looks like some of the newer ships don’t have this category. Anyone know where’s there’s a full list of ships with 1K or 1A please?

I have a family of 5 booked in a 1A on Harmony for 2020.

I just checked through RCCL's TA website and came up with pretty much the same price.  The difference is due to the 30% promo.

For 2 adults and 1 child in an Ocean View Balcony = $3111.21 with $75 onboard credit.

For 2 adults and 1 child in a Central Park Balcony = $2947.21 with $75 onboard credit.

For just 2 adults it looks like there are some group rates still available.

For 2 adults in an Ocean View Balcony = $2100.36 with $50 onboard credit.

For 2 adults in a Central Park Balcony = $2034.36 with $50 onboard credit.

Evidently this ends tonight. Anyone out there in the know can advise if it will be extended or what the next sale is scheduled to be? 

There's a "new" sale that runs from 10/16-10/20.  It's called the Seeker Sale.  It's 30% off every guest, plus up to $300 instant savings, plus kids sail free on select sailings.  As always, end dates are subject to change.

Just off Anthem and was told they are no longer reusable.  They must have your current muster station on them.

Just curious if anyone has stayed at the Crowne Plaza Newark Airport?  It's in Elizabeth as well.

June 7

Ok was just curious as we are booked on a B2B on Feb.  As a TA I check prices regularly and I was going to offer to notify you.

As as far as June goes...it looks like there are still group rates.  Not sure if you booked direct or not, but this could help lower the price a bit.

What is your Sailing date?

For Brilliance 9/27/20: I show a 6D Balcony is $2909.54.

A guarantee balcony is $2780.54.

As a TA we often have group rates, added amenities, and personalized service...but either way you can still book items through your cruise planner.  (Excursions, drink & dining packages, etc.)

You would just want to avoid Miami (and Ft Lauderdale) the first weekend in February because of the Super Bowl.

You should be fine.  They all state to book directly but they will apply them either way.  If you book onboard they may have you pay the $100 deposit per person then you can get them applied.

It depends on which Harmony Sailing you’re looking at for next February.  The 16th Sailing has the Rockin’ The Caribbean group.  (50’s, 60’s, & 70’s Music) so prices are a little higher than they normally are. 

Are they virtual gift cards?  (Long number with a pin?) If so you can have them applied to an existing booking.  If you’re wanting to do a new booking you’ll need to pay the deposit first then request the gift cards be applied and you’ll be refunded any excess.  An email will need to be sent to shared services and it takes about 10 - 14 days to be applied.  I’ve done this for clients a couple of times.

If your gift cards do not say “virtual” gift cards then they can be applied by calling.  

Let me know now if you have any questions.
