wearesiamese Posted February 2, 2023 #3 Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) I wonder how many people in the first place have enough money or time for that matter, to take a full world cruise ,at those prices? I suspect not enough to fill the ship. Edited February 2, 2023 by wearesiamese 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisePfan Posted February 2, 2023 Author #9 Share Posted February 2, 2023 CLARICATION: Did not mean to imply there were no segments, I just didnt receive details on the individual segments in the quote received which is why I did not reference them or give details of the itinerary. Someone else referenced that the first 2 segments were MIA to LAX and LAX to Papeete. My question to TA was what the shortest itinerary to count as a world cruise, otherwise I would have considered LAX to MIA and cut out the Panama Canal portion. That was an alternative the old Crystal had offered for 2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I did but I’m seeing others reporting having received their segment confirmations so it seems it will be possible to book them - which is great news I hope to receive our confirmations today for several segments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History&Wine Posted February 2, 2023 #13 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Cost for a solo on deck seven designated for solo cruisers is $70,955. Single supplement for other rooms on deck seven is 50%. Note the OP stated they did not need the $1000 pp credit for transportation. This is a bookkeeping entry...it is credited to the invoice if booked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crickette Posted February 3, 2023 #14 Share Posted February 3, 2023 In past years, when a WC was first announced, bookings for segments were not taken immediately. Even when they were ready to take segment bookings, specific rooms couldn't be booked. Old Crystal held onto rooms so that any WC bookings would not have to "move" mid-cruise.

koko's_mom Posted February 3, 2023 #15 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I read that some of you have booked segments of the World Cruise, so I am wondering where you have viewed the itineraries? Also curious about the December Serenity itineraries leading up to the Mia-LA January 2024 voyage. Do I need to get details from our TA, or am I missing it on the website? Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Stickman1990 Posted February 3, 2023 #17 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Our TA was rejected by the reservation agent when she tried to book segments on the World Cruise just an hour or so ago so it’s looking very unclear just what they’ll allow at this stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps your travel agent is able to put you on a Waitlist to request segments when reservations become more widely available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m confused by that - but I guess they recognising past full WCers and letting them book segments on the hope they may have a change of heart and upgrade to the full WC later on Oh well when they’re ready to accept regular segmenters we will see if our schedules free - it’s filling up awful fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koko's_mom Posted February 3, 2023 #23 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Thank you all for the WC booking and itinerary info. I assume the cruise calendar gaps will be appear on the website eventually, as we are also interested in the most likely Caribbean Mia-Mia itineraries/pricing pre World Cruise.

Rare Roland4 Posted February 3, 2023 #24 Share Posted February 3, 2023 We were not planning on booking it anyway, but I just counted, and as much as we like sea days, 65 of them out of a 139 day itinerary seems just a bit excessive! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quoted 141 days, but I counted 143 inclusive. I counted 78 days in ports which does not include the two canal crossings. My count could be off of course. For those who want port intensive itineraries, there are the Mediterranean segments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
