I added that info as an edit. I plan on booking after I board the Reflection Sunday and I have a TA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I have not which is good. It's just a possibility, that's all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lastdance Posted December 14, 2022 #205 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I am not seeing anything interesting to me; well, I guess I have hit that plateau of cruising and went aground. My DH cannot believe that at all, saying that I must have hit my head! At least I still have six cruises to go and am happy about those bookings. Why am I losing interest...scary! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsgoggins Posted December 14, 2022 #206 Share Posted December 14, 2022 7 am here in the UK and only 2 TAs showing for April 2024 so far. A dummy booking shows a refundable deposit - which while it is very welcome is not what happens in the UK, so it makes me wonder if it's an error! Hope not. A level playing field would be most welcome, even though I intend to convert a placeholder booking made on board for precisely that reason; the ability to move if necessary.

Rare WrittenOnYourHeart Posted December 14, 2022 #207 Share Posted December 14, 2022 3:30am eastern. They are slowly loading. Both in itineraries - only one out of Amsterdam is showing - AND apparently staterooms. Unless they're eliminating the solo cabins on Ascent and Beyond because those are not showing up.

hawkesbaynz Posted December 14, 2022 #208 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I was looking at an Israel cruise on the Silhouette in September 2024. Available but pricey. Interestingly the Ascent cruises that month are better value IMO although shame not Israel and Egypt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saab4444 Posted December 14, 2022 #209 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Many Slhouette departures in 2024 are from Rotterdam and not from Amsterdam! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdly I didn’t see Rotterdam as a departure option in their drop-down menu. Not that I am looking at those. But since they don’t seem to want to release the single IVs I guess I’ll just be figuring out something else to burn this stupid NRD I have.

For those departures they call it Amsterdam (Rotterdam) like Venice (Ravenna). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillibet16 Posted December 14, 2022 #213 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Just booked the newly released November Transatlantic from Barcelona to Fort Lauderdale. Now I just have to ask my husband if he wants to do it lol! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mac_tlc Posted December 14, 2022 #214 Share Posted December 14, 2022 (edited) Looks like a funny price on the Ascent Fall 2024 TA. Aqua Sky Suite about $4000 per person, while Regular Sky Suite is $5800 per person. Celebrity Suite is only about $200 more per person than SS. So, of course I had to book it 😉😉.

Rare WrittenOnYourHeart Posted December 14, 2022 #215 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I went with Summit out of NYC (ok NJ, but close enough) THIS summer just to get the monkey of this NRD off my back. I wasn't overly thrilled with the Med itineraries. Summit out of NJ/NYC allows me to not have to deal with airfare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracie115 Posted December 14, 2022 #217 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Celebrity suites on the Apex 13 night Spring 2024 TA is going for almost $4000($11945pp) more per person total than the Apex 14 night Spring 2023 TA. $11K plus per person is insane. The Beyond going to Rome even more. Looking elsewhere..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first TA in a Celebrity Suite in 2015 was about $3500. per person for a 16 night cruise. Now a 14 night is charging more that 3 times that total ..... yes, there has been inflation...but this is nuts. Waiting to see what Princess, HAL and Royal have to offer, or maybe time to just find other vacations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanaPam00 Posted December 14, 2022 #222 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Booked the Greece/Turkey/Italy in May on Ascent. We were hoping to book a Sky Suite, but those prices were outrageous. Our TA found us a decent rate on Aqua class, so we might try to bid up later. We're looking forward to a brand new ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have looked at the Greece/Turkey/Italy, but something is up as the single IVs weren't showing. I'd rather not wait to see if they're doing something weird with them so I booked for this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkesbaynz Posted December 14, 2022 #224 Share Posted December 14, 2022 We went for the Ascent Spain/France/Italy September 2024 in a SV all included for 12 nights for £2500 with military discount ($3093) each. Good itinerary with an overnight in La Spezia Actually better daily rate than the 9 nighter we had booked on the Beyond in September but cancelled as our friends got Covid a few days before. I was going to give the NCL Prima a whirl as an alternative but all the talk of small venues, booking for shows, racetracks turned me off. I like to relax on holiday not book meal times & queue.

Seemed like every venue needed to be booked, some for a charge. After a cruise on Apex, doubt I'll ever go back to NCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
