I've been toying around with a transatlantic cruise as well but from what I see, they are repositioning cruises heading to Europe in the spring and returning to NA in the fall.

Kicking myself for not having booked them sooner. I went to book our appointment yesterday for our Alaska cruise and there were no appts available on the 26th or 27th. Luckily enough I checked again this morning and found that a couple of spots opened up on Sat. evening. Not the greatest timeslot in my opinion but at least I won't have to get robbed for nearly $300 for a family of 4.

For those that didn't get the email. https://mc1wmw0-rflh5n8g9pwr89vxd3c4.pub.sfmc-content.com/k0du2xwbjh0?CNSMR_ID=12891068&CC_LOYLTY_ACCT_NBR=&allowMobile=y&ecid=em_23909851&rid=291263905&mes=Celebrity Power Up AUS RTS 17 Aug 2022 EM&emsc=CCC_SEL_NAN_ALA_M_CAN_ON_4_TA&empf=Y&emct=S&lnkid=BOOKNOW_CTA&rcid=12891068

Our Aug 28th sailing on the Eclipse seems to have been sold out for nearly a couple of months now. I'm just curious to know how many cabins are reserved for quarantine. Regardless, we're looking forward to it. DW has her parka options already picked out. 🤣

Unfortunately your situation is exactly why I always ask for the Guest Copy from X. Any chance you have yours, not just the invoice? It will contain two line items for each item included in your fare. This is a copy & paste from our Guest Copy for an upcoming cruise. The first line item shows the billed amount for the item and the next line shows a credit for that amount. I have no idea why "Gratuities" isn't in some cryptic code like all the other line items. Gratuities TCI9-GRAT DLX 7N TCO4-BEVPRINGRAT7 TCO3-PROMO2P 7N YVY2-INTERNETCHG YVY3-INTERNETSAV I know on previous cruises the daily gratuity would show up on the account but it would always net out so that at the very end the only balance left would be for any souvenirs we purchased. If you don't have it, I would see if you could get it from X. Without it I'm not sure how successful you'll be arguing it with X or even trying the chargeback route with your CC company. Best of luck.

LOL Isn't that HAL already? My 78 yr old mother booked a HAL cruise and swore she would never book with them again. She said it felt like she being in "heaven's waiting room".

IMO, I doubt that X would ever attempt that sort of a trial. X is looking to lower their age demographic which means that a larger % of that demographic would have families. Ever since our first cruise 20 years ago I remember X being positioned as that step between RCL and their premium brand. I have an easier time seeing RCL bringing another brand online if their market research shows that an adults only line could be very successful. However the fact that Virgin is going in the other direction kind of tells me that that isn't the case.
