Deployment 2019-20 booking season begins

[Biker19]

Does Royal make more on a regular cruise or a TA/TP?

TAs and TPs have some of the lowest per day cursing rates ($50/day pp is not unusual). The only reason any of the Oasis class ships have TAs is for the dry dock -other wise they would never leave Florida.

I just asked about the release of the Freedom, Vision and Voyager schedules and she's suprised they aren't available as they usually come out 2 years in advance (for Jan 2020). She said they have to be released at least 18 months in advance so keep checking.

 

If you don't already know she said Radiance will be out of Alaska.

Hmmm any TA that works with RCI shouldn't be surprised at their schedule release timings and changes made even after release ;):D

It seems like they pulled Jewel Westbound Transatlantic Rome-San Juan October 2019! Do not see it on the website anymore:confused:

Do you also see the Indy TA price for Oct 2019, over $4000 in inside and nearly $6,000 for 2 in balcony [emoji53]

They are nuts:mad:. Must be a glitch. That's what I was thinking as that does not sound like normal pricing. But I just checked the website and you are absolutely right. What's happening?

Surely it must be, crazy pricing. Looks like we'll be sticking with Rhapsody if they don't cancel it

We have not booked anything yet for the Westbound transatlantic. Have emailed travel agent if he has any information on Oasis Westbound but have not heard back yet. Will also look into Explorer and Rhapsody.

Looks like Ta's are not good a deal as they used to be

There seems to be a lot of discounting inside final with TAs.

 

Biker, who would not book a TA outside final payment.

Yeah that’s how it’s looking with these latest releases anyway

We’ve usually found them better when first released but not this time ☹️

Might resort to that. Usually first day of release can't be beaten but after final payment, who knows

[bigeck]

I just wish they wouldn't release cruises when Real Madrid is on tv

Hopefully not, keeping my fingers crossed. Pricing of the newly released sailings is ridiculously high.:loudcry:

Royal figured out all their loyal to Royal cruisers sailed during this time. Why not jack up the price.

Seems the Northern Europe cruises from Southampton in 2019 are more than the previous years, at least by Explorer.

Whereas the last years only one or two cruises to Norway/Scandinavia etc. has been offered now there's many more. Three Baltic cruises in June, July and August on Explorer and two Norway cruises are a good mix overall. :)

Interesting that Explorer seems to access Stockholm directly on her Baltic cruise. Further I really like her Transatlantic via the Southern Caribbean islands back to Miami. :)

 

Only thing I am missing is a real Fjords and Iceland cruise from Southampton. The only cruise covering Iceland is the Transatlantic on Serenade from Copenhagen to Boston.
