Question about Mayan Rhythms cruise 03/06-03/16

[warburg]

This Caribbean cruise has suddenly become wait listed in all categories. Living as we do on South Beach, we have taken many cruises like this. This is a first in our experience. I am wondering about the dynamics. Any info would be appreciated.

March break

maybe they have a special offer to fill the ship & kids now sail free

[warburg]

Thank you, LHT28, for the quick response. We have never sailed on any ship that was totally booked. This will be a first.

Sounds like you're not doing Oceania's best (long exotic) itineraries where the ship fills very quickly (e.g., partial or whole transpacifics).

[warburg]

Hello, Flatbush Flyer. Not transpacifics, but plenty  of TAs, most recently on Explorer. We chose this cruise because my birthday and our wedding anniversary are the same day, and right in the middle of this cruise.

It also happens that a Dom Perignon event is on that day in La Reserve that we are attending.

 

This is our seventh cruise with O,

this cruise had LOTS of open cabins up until a week or so ago.

 

All of a sudden it is sold out.

 

MAybe a partial charter or a computer glitch?

 

Anyone know for sure?

[LHT28]

it is  a month away so there probably was  a deal offered  to TA's

There are also some offers for Canadians & Solo rates  on Cruise  only basis

so maybe  those from colder areas   decided to jump on the deal & get warm

We are on this cruise. Most cruises on Oceania we have been on have been full or nearly full. Not sure what you mean about dynamics. If you are worried about crowding it is rarely a problem on these ships. The worst crowding is always lunch on embarkation day and also at tendering, which is not a problem on this cruise since there are zero tender ports.

Perhaps the OP was worried about the dynamics in case there is a large charter group onboard? That might explain the “sudden”  filling of the cruise.

Just wondering.

Oceania Riviera cruises from now into April are nearly all showing full or almost full.
