I noticed this with the July 28th Adriatic and Greek Gems sailing on the RL as well. I was ready to book with the new promotion and was shocked to see it was sold out.

Thank you! Mine is also a 14 days cruise, so I'll expect the same.

@81Zoomie, do you happen to remember about how many Dressy nights there were on your cruise? My itinerary for the Rotterdam next week is listing every night as Smart Casual, but that can't be right. Thanks!

This is so helpful! Thank you for sharing your experience with disembarkation! I think I'm going to cancel our HAL transfers and plan to do self-disembarkation, grab an Uber, and head straight to the airport. Thank you for sharing insights from your trip! It was so enjoyable to follow along, and I'm looking forward to getting on the Rotterdam in a couple of weeks!

Have enjoyed reading your posts, as my family and I will be on the Rotterdam in a couple of weeks. Can you share the disembarkation schedule for when the ship docks in Amsterdam? I'm looking to see what time self-assist disembarkation is scheduled to begin versus what time HAL transfers disembark the ship. We've got an early flight out of AMS, and I'm thinking self-assist may be the way to go. Thanks!

I wasn't allowed to buy bottles of champagne at Sip on Scarlet in April, but I could buy bottles of wine at Wake.

Walter, I agree with you! I'm considering this itinerary for next April. Just trying to decide if I should take advantage of the current promotion or take my chances and see what the next one is after the 24th.

Would this include people who got DBE this year through the Match & Sea program? I'm thinking about booking a trip for next April and would book well before the 10/31 deadline.

I had the same issue when I was trying to book myself. I did a live chat with a Virgin agent, and they were able to book me on Deck 9 without any issues.

I did it back in January when I first booked and was declined since I wasn't traveling before the end of March. I'm going to resubmit now that they're extending the Deep Blue Extras. Fingers crossed! I've got just under two weeks, so hopefully it'll work out.

So exciting! Thanks for sharing! Hoping they'll be able to process and apply my status match request by my April 9th sailing. Will wait for the website to update with the new dates before submitting my info (hopefully tomorrow!)

Does this mean you won't get turned away if you show up at a restaurant for dinner wearing shorts? Will be the Scarlet Lady in April and am counting down the days!

I just applied for Deep Blue Perks through status match for my April cruise. They responded that it was denied because I have to sail by March 31st. I was hoping they would extend it. Maybe there's still hope!

The cost difference is truly outrageous! We also checked FLL and MIA and opted to leave first thing the next morning from MIA. So we'll get to enjoy a day in Miami after the cruise!

Thank you so much for your input! I agree it's better to be safe than sorry and book a flight a bit later in the day.
