royzer76 Posted March 8, 2017 #1176 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Hi, Sorry this is the first time I'm looking to cruise in 2018 so please excuse me if I'm asking a question that's been asked a hundred times! Does anybody know if the Independence of the Seas - Fort Lauderdale to Southampton that's leaving on the 13th April 2017 will have a similar sail in April of 2018? Thanks I'm gonna guess that its very likely. Hasn't been much change in the last couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royzer76 Posted March 8, 2017 #1178 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Thanks for the quick response - Any ideas on when this will go on sale? I'm hoping that the sailings including the one you're interested will be released this week. That seemed to be the general thought amongst all the guys on here. So far the only ship that's opened it's sailings is Symphony. Keep checking back on here throughout the day. Some of the guys on here are amazing with their updates and spot on info. You'll hear it here first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcastlemam Posted March 8, 2017 #1179 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Keeping my fingers crossed for a good southern Caribbean itinerary in November 2018 12-14 nights any ideas from you guys which ships it could be ? From looking at this year would be serenade, anthem or a b2b on adventure. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelgoddess1 Posted March 8, 2017 #1180 Share Posted March 8, 2017 There might be some show off sailings (not bookable) upon arrival at POM - typical for a new ship after the TA. So the only B2B opportunity might be on the front end. Based on past practice, that would be correct. I tried to go online just now, got to page 1 of the itineraries for Symphony, and the website went down. At least, it did for me. Very frustrating.

Mass2Cruise Posted March 8, 2017 #1181 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Looks like only Symphony is open this morning. I thought all Caribbean sailings were opening this morning?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CdnTraveler78 Posted March 8, 2017 #1182 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I only see 1 cruise for June/July in Europe 2018 and it has no ship listed, based on the fact it's starting from Barcelona I'm 99% certain it isn't Symphony as everything we saw Symphony's homeport in Europe is Rome. Will the rest of the cruises for Europe appear during the day or most likely the week of the 20th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida_cruisers Posted March 8, 2017 #1184 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I only see 1 cruise for June/July in Europe 2018 and it has no ship listed, based on the fact it's starting from Barcelona I'm 99% certain it isn't Symphony as everything we saw Symphony's homeport in Europe is Rome. Will the rest of the cruises for Europe appear during the day or most likely the week of the 20th? Last night I booked the Symphony for May 27 (same itinerary as June/July) and it leaves out of Barcelona but the same ports that they advertised on the flyer, just different dates. So instead of leaving Rome on a Thursday, it would leave Barcelona on a Sunday. I believe the rest of Europe will come out the week of the 20th.

cloud_nine Posted March 8, 2017 #1185 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Was hoping for a better itinerary for Symphony's Europe sailings but I'm doing that exact 7 night itinerary in September this year - so I'm a bit disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Eyed Belfast Belle Posted March 8, 2017 #1186 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Morning. When are all the other sailings due to be released? Checked out the prices for Symphony and I'm not tempted. Whilst the thought of a new ship is appealing, personally I'll take a better deal with a better itinerary on one of the older ladies. As much as I liked the idea of doing the Symphony TA, I think I will give it a miss this time. I will await the rest of Europe and the other TAs itenaries before deciding.

LuCruise Posted March 8, 2017 #1187 Share Posted March 8, 2017 So far am just seeing Symphony for new bookings. Other Caribbean should also come today right? Website seems to have issues too with blank pages during booking. Also, if you are a gold member, is there any advantage to calling vs booking online? I don't believe there are discounts for lower members, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically, there could be discounts for gold level, but they seem few and far between these days.In any case, if there is a discount for gold, you should get it both online and via phone.

CdnTraveler78 Posted March 8, 2017 #1193 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Really disappointed that no other Europe cruise was released for the summer of 2018. I guess I have to wait another 2 weeks :(. Interested by SOS but I really didn't want to leave from Barcelona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquishTheWhale Posted March 8, 2017 #1194 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I am inches away from booking the 14th Oct sailing on Symphony, 9 day Europe. Tossing up the price difference between an inside and a central park balcony (around £200 each). Never sailed Royal before. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trvlgirlmq Posted March 8, 2017 #1196 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Ugh, I have no patience. Waiting until 14 months before to book a very expensive vacation is ridiculous. Some people have to work with a budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My preference would be a non-balcony OV before an inward facing balcony. Rather see outside the ship and don't like the lack of privacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Posted March 8, 2017 #1200 Share Posted March 8, 2017 It's going to be a beautiful ship, but not paying the current rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
