    I am an amateur at this, but L/S allows you to move a currently booked cruise to 1 year out within +/- 30 days. Has to be same ship (maybe similar class) and similar itinerary. If you are not on a holiday sailing currently, you cannot be on a holiday sailing for L/S either. 

     

    As for rebooking, I just did this and it became frustrating. It all worked out, but it took calling my TA 4x, getting the right people involved, and correcting issues that should have been done the first time with the CWC in place.

     

    I'm not on a holiday sailing.  And the ships involved are both Oasis-class ships, similar Caribbean itineraries.  So I'm guessing I should be able to move the booking.  I'm assuming I'll be paying the going rate for the 2022 booking, not the current pricing.  Is that correct?  

  2. I haven't been on CC for quite a while, but now I need some guidance.  We have a cruise on Allure booked for this January that I will cancel before final payment in October.  I want to rebook it for the following January on Oasis, also 7-night Caribbean sailing.  Is that just a rebooking at whatever the 2022 cost is for that sailing?  A Lift/Shift?  What's the difference?   Any information is appreciated.

    Read Ourusualbeach Posts as much knowledge as anybody else probably more and also very helpful 

     

    Yes, I agree.  There are other posters on these boards who are very knowledgeable, and I appreciate the information they provide.  My original post was not intended to lessen their contributions, but was just trying to learn what happened to Clarea. He was a very special presence here, and he will be missed.

  4. I was off these boards for a few months, and have been reading them again the past month.  I noticed that Host Clarea hasn't been posting.  Did he give up that position?  Hoping all is well with him.  I hope it's okay that I posted this question.

    Thank you both.

     

    For anyone who have been  on the Serenade of the Seas, what is your favourite part of the ship, I know people will have different favourites for different reasons, so just curious.

     

    I love all the sea views from so many of the common areas.  The size and layout of the ship is easy to get around. It feels like a cruise ship rather than an indoor mall.

    Temperature is never a problem in the MDR.  My wife always brings a wrap.  SPECIAL PEOPLE come up with all kinds of excuses not to follow the dress codes which clearly say no shorts.  Shorts are NEVER appropriate in a nice restaurant like the MDR no matter where you live!

    We live in South Florida, and most men, my husband included, almost always wear shorts in restaurants.  The only exception would be a special occasion.  That said, we have seen shorts in the MDR for years, and I've never seen anyone turned away.  

  7. You will have to be ok with whatever cabin you get assigned, and you might not have your preference for dining times.  We did a last minute (about a month out, which is last minute for an over-planner like myself,) and it all worked out great.  Cabin was actually fine, and the maitre 'd worked with us once we were on board the ship to rearrange our dining time.  I say go for it.  Flexibility is key in this situation.

    You will also get on board credit for the future cruise.

     

    Just know that the best perks come when you book with a non-refundable deposit.  Also, they are not always clear that they are booking your cruise with a non-refundable deposit.

    Thanks, I appreciate the fast response.  Have a wonderful holiday.

  9. Happy Thanksgiving!  I haven't done a future booking while on a cruise in several years.  I'm thinking about booking our Alaska cruise for 2021 while we're on the Serenade this winter, Jan/Feb.  Other than a possible reduced deposit (which is not an issue either way,) what additional benefits can we expect?  I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to wait two months to book it or not.  TIA.
