cruisenfever Posted February 20, 2016 #26 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Thanks for posting that Bob! It points to something we've learned in the past since we tend to book a year in advance or more anyway...the exact date that week can vary indeed. I remember on time...it was on a Tuesday and another time on a Thursday. February 25th is actually a Wednesday. I think Bob meant to post Week of February 22nd as that is how it is listed here http://creative.rccl.com/Sales/Royal/Deployment/2017_2018/16048646_2017_2018_Deployment_Opening_Schedule.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In past years...we had specific cruise destinations for this C&A promo "active" on other days (Tue & Thu). Thanks for sharing the PDF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razzinger Posted February 20, 2016 #29 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Do you get emails from RCI? The information being discussed was included in the current Royal Insider Newsletter which is sent out periodically. The February edition was received yesterday. Wife and I have been on one RCCL cruise, and we got the email about new sailings yesterday along with a note saying since we were valuable C&A, we got 24 hour advanced notice.

I haven't seen that before. In my email, was a link to "learn more": http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/destinations/home.do?allowMobile=y&ecid=em_6976678&rid=570843765&emsc=RCIN_EM_CAS_NEWSFEB19_16_EA_US_CS&empf=&emct=DIAMOND&lnkid=CTA_BUTTON_MAIN That says Alaska opening Feb. 25th. Hmmm, but yours says the week of Feb. 22nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MommaBear55 Posted February 20, 2016 #31 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Despite being Diamond and signing up for emails several times, I cannot convince Royal that I want to hear from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyster Posted February 20, 2016 Author #32 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I just wanted to note that the Royal's schedule says week of Feb 25th. In past years, the actual day of that week that the new itineraries came out has varied. Ok, good to know. Thanks for sharing that. I am trying to get one of the AFT cabins on an Alaska cruise so calling early is probably my best best. That's why I'm trying to call on the first day if possible. Thanks again everyone! Oh and for those who haven't received the email, it's called "The Royal Insider" and it lists my C and A level as well as my C and A number.

slyster Posted February 20, 2016 Author #33 Share Posted February 20, 2016 If they will be open for bookings on the 25th you should be able to call on the 24th. That said RCL often times does not hold to their published schedules. No one can answer the exact time the sailings will be availalbe. You can call either C and A or the general reservation number. If I remember correctly they were available by calling last year BEFORE they appeared on their website. Thank you! That's pretty much what I am looking for. I just realized that the link I included is on their website...duh LOL http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/destinations/home.do?allowMobile=y&ecid=em_6976678&rid=570843765&emsc=RCIN_EM_CAS_NEWSFEB19_16_EA_US_CS&empf=&emct=DIAMOND&lnkid=CTA_BUTTON_MAIN So if that says Feb. 25th, it sounds like I can call on Feb. 24th. I'll give it ago too. Thanks again :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare orville99 Posted February 20, 2016 #35 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I just got the WOW email this morning. But no C&A newsletter ever. They must like you better. You're not missing much - just a glorified sales circular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BecciBoo Posted February 20, 2016 #37 Share Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) Yep, I called just after 7:00 CST the day it opened, I was on a mission to get 9256 Radiance:D And did. Edited February 20, 2016 by BecciBoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind radiance again. We sailed her for our first Alaska cruise but it was just a regular balcony cabin. I really hope we get an AFT!

Thetrail Posted February 20, 2016 #42 Share Posted February 20, 2016 The new 2017 - 2018 itineraries will be available as follows: Alaska - week of 2/22/16 Europe and trans-Atlantics - week of 2/29/16 Caribbean, Bahamas, and Northeast - week of 3/7/16 Australia & Singapore - week of 3/21/16 Per the C & A letter, as a C & A member you will be able to book any of these itineraries 24 hours in advance of the general public. You will receive an email a day in advance of the above release dates providing you the opportunity to see the itineraries a day early and book one if you want. It's pretty self explanatory and has been offered in prior years as well. Great info, appreciate it.....K.O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CptSticky Posted February 20, 2016 #48 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Do you get emails from RCI? The information being discussed was included in the current Royal Insider Newsletter which is sent out periodically. The February edition was received yesterday. I don't get emails from Royal (just every other cruise line in existence). After many years of trying, I've given up asking for them. I know several others with the same problem. C&A status has no bearing on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they could start pricing them as D minus 1's :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
