Merion_Mom Posted April 18, 2016 #603 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I just checked both the RCI website and a random cruise booking site, and the 1st available cruise to book is now May 14th.....April 25th and 30th were "Sold Out" and May 5th (which I "think" I'm going on) isn't even showing! I understand if it's cancelled, but just let us know! :mad: May 14 is now showing "sold out". :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired LEO Posted April 18, 2016 #604 Share Posted April 18, 2016 May 14 is now showing "sold out". :eek: The plot thickens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undercat Posted April 18, 2016 #605 Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) May 14 is now showing "sold out". :eek: The plot thickens. Wow, that was quick. I saw May 14 with only OV priced at $500 on RCI's website less than two hours ago. Now, *poof* At this rate, the May 28th cruise I'd booked in December 2015 will be the new inaugural. As it happens, I cancelled the cruise a while back due to changes in my work schedule. It will be interesting to see how RCI handles this next wave of sailings.

Retired LEO Posted April 18, 2016 #606 Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) Empress sailings showing as sold out. April 21 April 25 April 30 May 5 May 9 May 14 The May 19th sailing currently has: 2 Interior 81 OV 33 JS If this sailing goes suddenly goes MIA there's a serious issue.

Sunkissed Mommy Posted April 18, 2016 #607 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I dont think any of these are being cancelled. I think they are either Sold Out for real or they are no longer allowing booking to allow for training of the crew! When I look on cruisingpower I see different notations. Prior to April 25th it says "No Sailing Available" Everything from April 25th to May 14th says "Not Available" Those are two different notations. The cancelled cruises have different wording than the "sold out" cruises. The lady I spoke with said that the crew is being trained on how to work in the U.S. market. They have been on Empress when it was Pullmantur and so they are used to serving the Spanish/European market. As you all know, us Americans are much more difficult and harder to please than most other cultures and countries. SO my thought it they might be doing soft openings to ease the crew members in to our obnoxious and demanding ways ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADS94 Posted April 18, 2016 #608 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I'm starting to glance at my May 28th sailing with more and more trepidation now. Hopefully everyone goes according to plan. I'd hate to be the shakedown cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted April 18, 2016 #609 Share Posted April 18, 2016 No one ever has sources on CC don't you know? :) Oh they love to tell us that they have sources but but inform us that they can't mention who the sources are.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrmende63 Posted April 18, 2016 #610 Share Posted April 18, 2016 You said: "But I don't think RC would open up the sailing for cabins to be sold and then cancel the sailing. I highly doubt this is the case." However, they already did that once. Cruises were available to book, and then all of a sudden cancelled. What would be different? Or am I missing something? Are you speaking of the fact that more cruises were made unavailable, but then available again? you were not confused ! My cruise has never been canceled, but has had sailings opened and then closed, opened and now closed again. I got a text from the someone on the ship this AM. The sailing is going on as planned.

I would rather folks protect any sources that they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there were only a few cabins open the other day on my sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimbo106 Posted April 18, 2016 #615 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I have been watching my sailing on May 14th and it looks like they moved people around until the ship sold out...first there were only suites and then there were only outside available and then everything sold out. I am thinking they upgraded OV to suites and inside to OV and then finished selling the inside rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare A&L_Ont Posted April 18, 2016 #617 Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) If they give you a giant cinder block or anvil with an "Acme" label on it upon your check-in, I'd say chances are no. :D Edited April 18, 2016 by A&L_Ont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
