People with B2B's are screwed..........$$$$ usually trumps everything !!! Moving people to the new ship isn't going to be easy.... Almost thinking when booking start tonight, nothing higher then JS's will be available to book until all the switches are made from Allure to Wonder for the higher suites. Just as I predicted last night, all suites are sold out and not for sale. I have another question , why is there a gap between September 15th and October 6th for sailings from Rome in 2022.........................That is when my sailing on Allure was, September 22nd? Now what is going on? Edited September 22, 2021 by Jimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycpu2you Posted September 22, 2021 #28 Share Posted September 22, 2021 The Western Mediterranean cruises for Wonder of the Seas is now open to the public! Some cabin categories are sold out right now so, that might be a good sign for redeployed cruisers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunedinmaiden Posted September 22, 2021 #34 Share Posted September 22, 2021 For my May 19th sailing, all the suites are shown as sold. So, I'm still optimistic that my suite will be transferred over 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steeler Nation At Sea Posted September 22, 2021 #38 Share Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) So, my non-suite - but,, special to me - cabin on the WB TA is available to book. I called C&A and requested that it be held or that the move is expedited or something. The only thing that the CSR and their supervisor would do is write it up in the notes on the booking to say that I called and want the same cabin. They gave me an email address to lodge a complaint about the handling with releasing cabins for sale prior to swap. They also said, unlike the letter, that the majority of swaps would be made ON Oct. 13th, not before. It's mycruise@rccl.com if anyone else wants it. I wrote. I didn't get an acknowledgement of any kind saying anything like thanks for writing or how long until I would hear back so who knows if it went anywhere that matters. Sloppy business practice.

I was fully expecting exactly what happened as far as the booking goes. I saw enough stories here from the earlier ship swaps. If this cruise was a really important one for me, I'd probably be more upset. It's not. It was a booking I had made after the Allure '20 canceled and before the Odyssey '21 canceled and I lift & shifted to an Arctic TA for '22 instead. I'll see if I end up with my SAME cabin. If not, I'll cancel. Edited September 22, 2021 by Steeler Nation At Sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who really knows what a year from now will look like. Getting less excited about cruising as every day goes by. Doesn't even matter anymore what a great price we got. Cruising just doesn't seem to get us super excited like it used too. Shouldn't be this hard to spend thousands and thousands of dollars...............

She also said that it's still possible for them to rearrange and put me back in my original room in a few days. Ultimately, I will need to wait until Oct 13th. I doubt I will be upgraded, as I am in a CP Balcony room. They will not sell out by Oct 13 for a May sailing, but the preferred locations may be taken. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet that was tough to give up those tix! Florida being one of the few places we can fly to cheaply, I'd have been tempted to hold onto them and make the trip once or twice. Easy to sell the rest! On another note, my college roomie was from Dunedin.😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of us picked specific cabins for a reason. I don’t get why they couldn’t move people before releasing to the public. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ampurp85 Posted September 23, 2021 #49 Share Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) I thought, well also according to RCG rep, they are holding off the suites until everyone is switched to make sure those who booked get the equivalent. I am sure after Oct 15th they will have some Jr. suites available and possibly more since people may cancel.
