TNcrzr4life Posted January 8, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 8, 2018 On Thur 1/4, Oasis had almost every cat showing availability for 2/11/18 cruise. Sat down Sat 1/6 to book on RCCL site to book with plans to turn over to TA on Monday. Sailing is now sold out. Not just a particular category but the whole flippin' ship! How does that happen? Checked online with a large internet agency that specializes in selling cruises only and they still showed inventory in several categories. Shouldn't the line itself be the last to sell out. Could this agency have in inventory holding? If so, when do they have to give up? I'm might confused. We have to sail on 2/11 and general inventory is very limited to begin with. Most sail on Sat. Any advice. Really have heart set on Oasis. Thanks in advance. Michelle Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted January 8, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Have you checked RC's web site again? On Saturday night, RC does IT maintenance and things don't work very well. If the cruise still shows sold out for several days, you could be looking at a charter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to call my wonderful travel agent tomorrow and see what she can find out. Just weird it went from lots available to none.

Just weird it went from lots available to none. If it turns out ot be a charter, don't do anything to your reservation until officially notified by Royal. They will usually compensate you in some way, but only if you still have a booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachammo Posted January 8, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 8, 2018 It's not even showing on the website now. Charter! ;) If the sailing date is 2/11/2018 (a little over a month away) that would be the quickest a charter was ever put together. Royal would be kicking off over 4k passengers for a full charter I would guess? Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG65CB Posted January 8, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Sometimes the website will show prices for a cabin category but when you go to actually book the cabin it says none are available. This was very frustrating to me trying to book a specific cruise. I got lucky because later in the day one cabin did open up, but as soon as I booked it the entire ship showed sold out. This was for a cruise departing in a couple of weeks from now. Somehow after I booked that last cabin the entire ship was sold out even though moments previously they were showing prices for every cabin category.

harlekuin Posted January 8, 2018 #10 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Click on the yellow bar on the right of the listings. The category that is sold out is Interior. Where it says View Pricing by Room Category, click on any type but Interior and the rooms show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harlekuin Posted January 8, 2018 #14 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Now it says "sold out" and is greyed out so that there is nothing to click on. Click on balcony, click Select Date. Every category but interior.. Not sure how else to explain it but there are rooms.

Jkonselman Posted January 8, 2018 #15 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Have your TA check on it. This late in the game they need to book it anyway because you can’t transfer once it’s paid in full. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
