Cruisingpower is only for travel agents.

[Elizanessie]

We had an email last week that gave the release date for booking for C&A pre booking, and there was a thread that had posted screen shot of the date no exact time but the date was given and I can't imagine they will open bookings in UK before business hours open in US. Otherwise U.S. TA's will probably not be happy.

 

UK office has opened before US office before...though normally it is the other way around.

Would somebody please post caribbean itineraries for Harmony once they are released? Im at work and rccl new site is not working one any of our PCs .

Originally it sounded like today was only for Europe sailings. I called and the person said they knew it was opening today, but nothing beyond that. No idea on itineraries, deck plans, cabin categories, or even if it was just Europe, they heard it was everything. I'm waiting on the FL sailings so I'm hoping they don't open today so we can have a little bit of planning time.

Nothing showing past the Oct transatlantic. It does however show the transatlantic as coming into Fort Lauderdale...there was some speculation that it would "possibly" homeport in Miami...so that should put that to rest for now.

[Panamapresh]

Just telephoned UK office again. Chap I spoke to had no idea what I was talking about!! He said "bookings will not be possible for another two months"!! He asked me "where was I getting my info from". I replied "your website and Cruise Critic"! He put me on hold and said he got confirmation from his supervisor that what he had stated was correct. He added that the previous emails and info was incorrect. I will just have to keep checking in with you guys!

LOL he should have checked his internal memos.

 

RCCL Executive office & C&A US confirmed to me yesterday that Harmony bookings open today.

The RCCL announcement said FLL for her Homeport in the US.

Just got confirmation from the US office this morning as well that it opens today. But they also said that at this time they had no itineraries, deck plans, cabin categories, dates, or even an idea of how far out she would be opening for booking. All they know is that something by the name of Harmony would go on sale today when ever it shows up in the system.

[Panamapresh]

Amazing - just called again and spoke to some one else. From BCN for 7 nights = £1,980 for an inside cabin with tips. Sailing 19th Jun!!!!

[Kokomo91165]

All - please CALL crown & anchor. Harmony has been able to be booked for the past hour. Transatlantic suites are VERY expensive.

[DEIx15x8]

Any idea if it's just Europe?

[vacationers]

Just called the Crown and Anchor desk and they do have the itinerary for the Mediterranean only… You have to go thru the Crown and Anchor since it is only open to members. Also they are selling Fast.

 

You can leave from Barcelona in June and the Rome in July but same itinerary. Palmas del Mar, Florence, Naples and not sure the other port. Very expensive No obstructed cabins on this cup D7 base price 1799.99 cruise fare plus port and fees.

 

Caribbean is not thee yet. Will check back later.

 

Hope this helps. :D

[megacruiser]

Just got a quote from the US normal reservation number (866 562 7625), for a Studio for one person on 26 June 2016 - $2097. The only Studios coming up are ocean view cabins on Deck 4; virtually them all, I believe. A Central Park Balcony for two came in at $3270, including Diamond Balcony Discount. Seems a bit expensive. Will think it over before committing...

Edited March 17, 2015 by megacruiser

[swoopy2110]

Is 1799 per person ??

[whycruisewhynot]

Called the main US number, and got in immediately. The sailings had just opened up since my agent hadn't booked one yet. First Sailing Available was June 7th.

 

We booked October 16th, 2016 -- 7 night sailing from Barcelona, category K - $1259 for first two, $549 for 3rd. Taxes = 98.72. Total USD 3363.16

[Flacruiser123]

I was so hoping the 7 day west med cruises were going to be on a smaller ship like Serenade or Rhapsody or Brilliance class. I don't know anything about Quatum class ships - I've been afraid I couldn't afford them so I held off reviewing them!

:(

 

So we are huge fans of the corner afts - don't mind the walk but love the views. We like the D1 expanded balcony on Oasis class (but we don't care for boardwalk or central park balconies). What are the best balcony rooms on Harmony so I can book my west med cruise??? Since they just opened them for booking maybe I'll have a better chance getting a great room!

 

Really appreciate your help here.:)

[Beachammo]

Any prices on Aqua Suites?

Edited March 17, 2015 by Beachammo

[emmy]

Was able to book the transatlantic sailing a short while ago

13 nights Barcelona to Fort Lauderdale.

 

Pricing was right in line with the OASIS westbound I was on last October

 

Looking forward to this and waiting to add the first Florida sailing as well
