I think if you are new to TA’s then it wont affect you. Us oldies are just whining because it isnt what we were used to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like many on the sailings we have used the crossings mainly as a more relaxing way from A to B. We don't care about the transportation.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaAtlCruiser Posted November 21, 2023 #1305 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Does anyone have any clue when Brilliance will release the TA leaving Southhampton August 30th and making her way to Boston via Iceland and Greenland? I saw the itinerary at NextCruise and got one of the certificates to book her as soon as she is released. The NextCruise certificate only lasts for two months (to keep the benefits) so anxiously awaiting this specific itinerary to be released. Also, curious if anyone has any insight into Jewel sailings.

mousemom11 Posted November 21, 2023 #1307 Share Posted November 21, 2023 There has been discussion upthread about using a TA to get group rates. If I already have a cruise booked directly with RCI, can I move it to a TA to get their group rates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bookings do not have to be refundable to more onto a group. Non refundable can be moved into the group and can be repriced to group rates they just remain non refundable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I'll be using Nextcruise anymore, unless I can either book a specific cruise on the spot, or I'm pretty certain that the booking window is opening shortly. 60 days is not enough time!

I agree. This is the first time I tried the certificate option and that was only because I knew I wanted this Brilliance sailing and NextCruise seemed confident it would be available within two months. Now, I don't know who provided my TA the information and if you know Royal, they sometimes provide wrong information. So it is possible it will be released sooner - but I am going with what my TA stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TourDeCruise Posted November 22, 2023 #1322 Share Posted November 22, 2023 We are interested in the Boston to Greenland and Canada back to Boston itinerary for 2025 like the Jewel is doing for 2024. Will that be offered again in August/September 2025? Which ship? Brillance? When is it projected to be available for booking for 2025? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We loved the Arctic Crossing and said we would love to do it again and not having to fly to Europe is a definite plus! I’ll be watching 😉 thanks Ken 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
