Booking Problems for Oasis (Bayonne) Between May-October 2023

[The Grumpus]

Seems like the problem might be getting worse.  I just got the same message for Odyssey o/t Seas out of PE in April. It had been working fine over the weekend.

And I was just coming to report the same problem with looking at bookings for the Allure out of PC late 2023 and early 2024

The same thing happened a few weeks back and lasted for a couple of days. When it came back up the prices were significantly higher.

In looking at the extra passengers for Oasis next summer. The prices are insane. $948 + for regular cabins & $1615 + on suites.

Yup. I was tracking the prices on the May 14th sailing. Before it all went offline the total cost of the two rooms I was looking at was just over $3000. After it came back, the same two cabins were going to cost almost $4500 and that was with one of them as a GTY. It would have been nearly 5k to pick both cabins!

In the meantime, the 8-night Anthem sailing on April 23rd went down a bunch so I jumped ship.

It depends on what website you look at... Some have jacked up the price and some are the same as last week.

Oh well the problem was with Royals website so that's what I thought we were all talking about.

The problem was with ALL websites. All normal travel agent websites including costco and others could not book Oasis sailings for next year.

There were agents on these boards saying Oasis was ok to book on there systems over the past 5 days and not to worry. Maybe they were lying about who they were? Very odd. Just glad they aren't moving Oasis

This was the previous time that it happened, a couple of weeks back. It only lasted a couple of days on that occasion.

I know you said you jumped ship but if it's not too late to jump back check out priceline. The rates for May 14th are really good.

Had the same issue checking for price drops on my Navigation New Years sailing for this year.

I booked a couple of cruises for clients and checked prices on several others.  There is nothing wrong with cruising power which is Royal website for travel agents.  It is affecting their consumer site and apparently some other agent sites however travel agents using Cruising power and the phone reps can absolutely book.

Apparently they were referring to the last time the system went down and not this past weekend.

Thanks for the heads up. I repriced my 4/23 sailing and saved $444.

Yay! Score! 😊

Looks like the problem is resolved as I'm able to look at the August, '23 sailing details.

 

Amen!🙏

 What would you say the best pricing for a central park balcony would be

When I looked at OasisCentral Balcony for August 20, 2023 sail it averaged about $1k pp with the D balcony discount and adjoining cabins. 
 

However, if you allowed Royal to sect the cabin the price was  lower by approximately $200 pp.  One of the biggest spread that I’ve seen.
