It's a future cruise, so I am unable give you any insight.

In fact, someone did.

I used the approximate figure that quoted in a post in this thread. The OP is silent as to how much they paid. Being somewhat Macchiavellian, if I were to find an astonishingly low price for a cruise, I would be inclined to pay in full immediately on the basis that this 'seals the deal' and makes it difficult for the cruise line to wriggle out of it. And, of course, because months elapse without any attempt by the cruise line to renege on the deal, I might assume that it would be safe for me to make reservations gir flights, hotels etc.

But, I believe that there was specific reference to a suite.

You are correct, there is an extra zero! I think the reality of the situation is 'If it seems too good to be true - it is.' Of course, it is very easy to claim ignorance of pricing, but to me it seems highly unlikely that anyone buying a cruise will not have done some research, and will, therefore, be aware of the approximate average pricing. And, caveat emptor.

Oops.. $1200!

Clearly an error. A CC suite would cost, roughly, about $12000 a day, for two guests, in my experience. I think anyone who books at $1266 for 7 days should not expect that price to be honoured, whether it be in the short-term or even months later.

It seems to me that there is something strange about this. Until the OP enlightens us we don't know for sure through whom the booking was made. Absence of responses and information always leaves me wondering what else we should know about the booking(s).

And I asked the same question right at the top of this topic, but this and two other potentially relevant questions remain unanswered. Ine tries to offer assistance, rather than platitudes, but to no avail!

Did you book the cruise direct or through a TA? Did you pay for the cruise with a Credit Card? Why did you pay the full amount so far in advance?

AKAIK they has not.

Where did you read this? AFAIK the ship will be berthed in the city. See https://www.whatsinport.com com/Ho-Chi-Minh-City.htm for more information. Does your itinerary nerary refer to Phú My, or Ho Chi Minh City or both? If Phú My is not specified or included, then I think it is safe to assume the ship will be berthed in he city.

Anarchy! BTW what do you regard as prime-time specialty restaurants slots?

Indeed. We divide our efforts. On boarding, Steph waits patiently in room, whole I go to secure our preferred slots for Specialty Dining. We find, unless that you are guests of a crew member, MDR offerings and service are not as good as in the Specialty restaurants.

On a 25-day cruise, IMHO, any package makes sense, but the value varies with your needs/preferences and which accommodation you occupy onboard.
