Juliadlf Posted May 12, 2005 #1 Share Posted May 12, 2005 I was trying to book an additional cabin on the Carnival Liberty for the September 30th sailing and was told it is sold out - all cabins.:mad: Since I'm new to cruising, is this typical for a cruise to be sold out - even interiors - so early? What are the chances of cabins opening up in the next few days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitty9 Posted May 12, 2005 #2 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Many cruises are selling out, so it's not at all unusual. The time to look for something to open up is when final payments are due, because that's when people cancel. Don't look for much in the next few days, you'll probably only find something available 75 days or less out. It's also possible that a large group will be taking a majority of the cabins. If that's the case, good luck---I hope it's not some kind of Amway or Precious Moments convention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted May 13, 2005 #3 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Its not a convention-- its a new ship sailing a brand new itinerary. I agree with looking after final payment come due-- lots of people will cancel at that time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptData Posted May 14, 2005 #4 Share Posted May 14, 2005 My Jan 15 2006, Hawaiian Cruise has been sold out for months now. Most of the Summit Hawaiian cruises have sold out already. As above start checking in June for an opening. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the chances of cabins opening up in the next few days? Is that the one that sails from New York? I know that date sounds familiar, maybe it's "the Apprentice" sailing?

mrsfuzzmo Posted May 17, 2005 #6 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Many if not most people begin looking into and booking cruises well over a year in advance. Especially new ships/itineraries/holiday sailings. It is not at all unusual for a ship to be booked up at this date for a Fall sailing, but as the above posters stated, it is likely that a cabin will open up between now and then.
