Ken at the beach Posted May 2, 2023 #351 Share Posted May 2, 2023 22 minutes ago, Jimbo said: If that is true,to sell those balcony cabins now for the full cruise they are going to have to reduce the prices you would think there is no way they could sell them as high as the early people who booked at those high prices. Not with the way prices are now for segments. Its completely true. There are 3 different inventories. WC full voyage WC 4 segments 17 mini segments. Lots of balconies left in the 4 segments, some more than others. My guess is they won't release them until after final payments gor WC and the 4 segments.

Who knew I would be on one of the legs but I had choices and then I noticed special words on website above itinerary description when looking for replacement cruise. While not going to all the way up in Norway it will go to Oslo and Aarhus which is great news to me. So perhaps I will get to meet you. toodles 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fell RCI is changing ships more frequently and when booking what looks like a great trip, could end uo cancelled. So annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jacobtsf Posted May 27, 2023 #362 Share Posted May 27, 2023 @John&LaLa does that Wcfriends code expire at some point? And can it be used at NextCruise? We are next on a ship in July, and my wife is hoping to convince some of the friends we are cruising with to join us on one of the mini legs.

Rare John&LaLa Posted June 7, 2023 Author #365 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Royal had a webinar yesterday for full world cruise folks. A couple of new modifications to the cabins mentioned. Biggest surprise was adding USB and power outlets near the bed Italso seems those on full trip get way more privileges than those onboard for part of the trip 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThirdGenCruiser Posted June 7, 2023 #367 Share Posted June 7, 2023 The price of the mini segments seems to have risen significantly recently. Out of curiosity I went to check what the 9-night Rome to Barcelona mini segment would cost and surprisingly this is over half as much as what I paid for 35 nights (three mini segments between Athens and Rome). @John&LaLa Interesting about the USB! Having just last month done a B2B across Ovation then Radiance, USB ports were very much missed on the second ship. So a big plus if Serenade will have USB ports! 😀 Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is that not the case for the segments? Not that we really need it because we get 5 drinks each daily and I never use all mine, we didn’t get any excursions that I was aware of…..
