California Traveler Posted May 26, 2017 #4126 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Yes We are waiting for the TP to Seattle to release in August ...... Need a ride home from Australia. CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopster95 Posted May 26, 2017 #4127 Share Posted May 26, 2017 But best reason to book early, getting cabin you want. Aft corner cabin on Radiance class, even have 7 schedule so far now... I agree 110%! :) You want a specific cabin for a specific reason, day 1 of release is the only way to go... especially those aft corners... Until of course one cancels at final payment date, or gets upgraded/upsold to a higher class cabin... and then I swoop in with my 1/2 price GTY (with healthy obc and perks from my TA) and I snatch it up :D (I did that twice in the last 3 years, Vision JS aft corner 8588 came available about 60 days out and Adventure JS 1694 about 45 days out, picked up both by moving a GTY) I think the above conditions may never happen again however with the re-classification of cabins and the new refundable vs non-refundable pricing.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Prior deployment flyers indicated that Singapore would go on sale with Australia however I have not seen or heard any indication that that would be the case with this new date.

mommykim Posted May 26, 2017 #4130 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Also toying around with just going on my own. Sent from my iPhone using Forums I plan to be on either the Radiance or Explorer depending on the prices.

travelgoddess1 Posted May 26, 2017 #4131 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Having studied Radiance & Rhapsody TPs for 2 years before pulling the trigger, I can tell you my price on Rhapsody was almost exactly the same a year after.... I then had to move my deposit over to Radiance 2015. Radiance I booked on day #1 of release, my cabin was almost the same price at final payment. In fact Radiance TP and Explorer were on the Going Going Gone sale. There's also an ongoing current thread here on CC about how many people are getting continuous price drops, proof positive that the best price is not always (sometimes it is) on day #1 of release. It depends on the cabin, class of ship, ports of call, length of cruise, time of year, war in the country being visited, etc etc etc.... many variables That thread may pertain to lower category cabins. I haven't read it, but my personal experience is that the full suites and the JS sell out quickly. A few might come back at final payment, but that does not leave a lot of time to secure airfare and hotel at a good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted May 26, 2017 #4132 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I know they have done so in the past but with such an epic voyage like the TP that more or less sell out early, they will have over 4,000 very unhappy cruisers if they did! So, once again, it looks like another case of same old, same old for 2019! Personally I'm glad it's back. New to me. We had to bail on the 2018 TP to jump on Mariner.

harz99 Posted May 27, 2017 #4138 Share Posted May 27, 2017 You missed the awesome 10 and 12 day itineraries Oceania offers. Not really. None at the time I want in 2019 which is March/April covering the places I want to visit, rather than the route via Fiji back to Sydney which all the mainstream lines offer and which we've done twice already. Couldn't see any 10/12 itineraries anyway, all 14 or longer. The Crystal Symphony Papeete to Auckland itinerary gives the best value and ports for me.

Ocean Dancer Posted May 27, 2017 #4141 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Even thought I feel as if I don't owe anyone explanations, here is a snipet of my email from my TA Hi, what type of cabin do you want I can book and hold it for you.

Ocean Dancer Posted May 27, 2017 #4143 Share Posted May 27, 2017 My husband and I are over the moon for this very special anniversary cruise. We have NOT taken anyone's special cabin, we are booking a regular balcony which there are many. I never meant to ruff up anyone's feathers, I just got an email from my TA, who happens to be on a cruise and jumped on board as any of you might do. I do not know the particulars, I do not have any paperwork yet. The booking will go through probably the same time as everyone else's. I didn't butt in line as many of you think. I'm not that type of person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an opportunity in 2019 to do the Hawaii to Seattle TP and I am very excited too - after 2 years of family weddings and graduations (in May). And like you, I am not booking any special or treasured cabin - in fact I will be booking an inside cabin. So, in my case, I want to get the opening day price since I am sailing solo......and history has proven that prices go up fast on these sailings, This is an open forum to share information and you are right - you don't owe anyone any explanations. But I am glad you posted again so we can all benefit from your information :) I hope you have a wonderful time on your cruise and Happy Anniversary!

springaussie Posted May 27, 2017 #4149 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I wonder if Royal are going to add Southampton cruises prior to the arrival of Symphony in Barcelona.
