Ashland Posted May 23, 2019 #26 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Book Now Or Book Later: Apparently started last week you have the option of making an onboard booking without having to choose a ship or date. $200.00 per stateroom non-refundable and you have up until one year to make the booking. If you book within two months you'll receive OBC based on category and length of cruise booked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida_cruisers Posted May 23, 2019 Author #31 Share Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) What if the sailing you want is for 2021 and it has not been released yet, what’s the incentive for it? Edited May 23, 2019 by Florida_cruisers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably could - most 2021 itineraries should be released within a year, though probably not the China market ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the itinerary is released in 2 months you won’t get the extra OBC so there is no incentive other than a reduced deposit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectrum itineraries for summer 2021 may not come out until about this time next year or later - taking a chance buying the current version of this book on board program.

Florida_cruisers Posted May 23, 2019 Author #40 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Moral of the story is that for our own intentions is best not to participate since it’s likely that we won’t be able to book the sailing soon enough. Good to know now and not take the chance and lose the money. Thank you all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use the "book later" and get some OBC for your future cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was what I was referring to above but Biker said that the “book later” must be booked within 2 months. Now I am confused. Looking at the flyer it says - one year - as the threshold. I am not sure when the Spectrum’s itinerary will get released for Japan Summer 2021. That’s taking a risk.

Florida_cruisers Posted May 24, 2019 Author #44 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Here’s an idea: what if I book it for next Summer and when the sailing comes out Chang’s it for Summer 2021? I have done that before on previous vouchers but the terms have changed so much recently that I am not sure it’s allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think once something is booked it's like NRD booking, so any change invokes the NRD penalty. Edited May 24, 2019 by Biker19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
