Bob, I have not read thru all the recent posts. I do not see the new itineraries loaded into cruising p. To book now do you need to call in?

I think calling is the safest thing to do now. I know they released all of the Symphony sailings yesterday, but the summer 2018 sailings did not show up for some of us earlier today. The web site seems flakey (more than usual) right now.

Yes, I called in at 6:30 pm and the rep I spoke to said they had just been released for booking. They are not showing on the website yet. I booked Majesty 2018 and Liberty 2019. Oasis was available as well.

They are available now if you call in.

I just changed a NextCruise booking to Harmony in August 2018. Allure was available too but Oasis didn't seem to have all prices loaded in based on what I've been told.

First time booking so early, very excited. Thanks to this forum, I learned a lot!

Ok...so I'm in now. Am surprised in that Harmony for same week, same room, is $1000 more than Symphony? That quite surprised me considering that Symphony is the newer ship. (Comparing boardwalk balcony room ). :eek:

 

Another strange thing...do they only release a certain number of cabins initially? Am asking since it shows no Promenade rooms available at all (for 4 people). Can't imagine they all sold out within the first hour. :confused:

 

With this price, our decision is easy. We'll keep our Symphony booking.

 

 

The same thing happened when Harmony first went on sale. Many of the dates were cheaper than Oasis and Allure.

I am just on the phone moving a next cruise booking to the Harmony 8 day itinerary (nov 10, 2018). Price is a lot higher than other Harmony & Symphony 7 day cruises. I expected it might be a bit more with 1 extra day, but 30% more is a bit much.

Turns out this particular cruise is not discountable (and the CSR isn't sure why promotions aren't loaded into the system for this cruise just yet ). It also made my OBC disappear. On hold waiting for a supervisor to override the system and fix this for my booking.

Thanks Royal

 

I can at least see the cruises, but all of the new itineraries are showing the wrong price (they show the total price for two people instead of the per person price). I was hoping the seasonal Caribbean would show up too but no such luck, will have to check again later.

Interesting. Maybe Royal figures people like to book the known vs unknown? Also strange that only a subset of rooms are available online. As mentioned, no Promenades are showing, and only 2 or 3 boardwalk balconies are showing for each level (for 4 people). I highly doubt they are sold out already.

 

PS - I just checked Oasis and even it is up there...but I'm looking at march break so guess that factors in.
