stitchcreek Posted June 17, 2021 #1 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Been reading MSC, Royal Caribbean and P&O have all oversold their summer UK cruises with the expectation of restrictions easing and are now having to start cancelling some passengers - very disappointing to hear! Waiting to see whether any other cruise lines have done the same, as we’re not currently impacted by any of these, but could well be if all cruise lines have followed suit!

Lolabunny488 Posted June 17, 2021 #2 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Yes I was effected by this we were due to go next week with p and O instead changed to marella as they have a special £150 off uk sailings at the moment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidi13 Posted June 18, 2021 #3 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Viking Ocean are just completing their 3rd cruise and have pax counts below 50%. Not aware of any of their cruises being oversold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitchcreek Posted June 19, 2021 Author #4 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I’ve heard Virgin haven’t oversold, they’ve taken a more cautious approach but may intend to increase capacity only after there’s confirmation of restrictions lifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, to date they’d be operating under restrictions, it’s sailings from 21st June when the other cruise lines have been overselling, having assumed the restrictions would’ve been lifted… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even without Govt restrictions, they still had < 50%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Harters Posted June 24, 2021 #7 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I think the issue of overselling may well be an issue for some time to come. We've made a booking and paid a deposit with Oceania for a Southampton to Southampton cruise in June next year. This was a couple of weeks back. Secured the last available cabin in the category we wanted. And even looking at 2023 cruises with them, some cabin categories are already sold out.
