Imbracedbylife, Thank you so much for the review. I'm planning a river cruise for 2015. Not sure where or with whom yet. Decided to look for a review on CC and There You Are!!! The second thread on the opening page.

Feel that I've learned a lot from this review. The fact that all cruise personel do all jobs. About eating in the lounge. The front desk has maps. Taking trains and buses. A lot of little things that may not mean much to you or seasoned RCers but, I loved it.

Thanks so much.

Well, we got the call today. It's official and our booked cruise has been cancelled due the Huge reserving the whole boat. Basically all they are offering is $100 OBC on one of 5 select cruises. But, $100 on a 4 day cruise isn't too bad. My sister and I will have to discuss this.

I hope everyone that goes on the 9th has a good time!!

Yup - my 2 friends and I were originally booked on this cruise - RCCL hasn't even notified the one person in our group who booked through RCCL that she won't be going! Tsk tsk, RCCL - converting to a charter is one thing - but not making sure the affected passengers are aware first - well, that's just not good PR. I know, RCCL won't be losing anything when we don't rebook with them - BUT - people would certainly feel better if they thought you valued them!

 

Just my 2 cents about the realities of cruising.

 

Ivanna Cruz somewhere on December 9th - so I'm headed on over to see what the other lines have that week.

This cruise is 7 months away. I too am booked on this cruise but, will wait till the end of June to see what they have to offer us. The special Huge has is for the month of May. They have to have their fees paid by the end of June. Huge is giving away inside rooms (and window rooms?). Here's hoping that they will up grade us to a balconey or junior suite at that time.

It is only a 4 night cruise!! My daughter knows someone who planned for a year for a 10 or 12 night Carnival cruise in Europe last month. The cruise was cancelled 1 or 2 weeks before departure. Now that is something to be upset about.

You will probably agree that the itinerary for this cruise is better than some of the other short cruises. Check out your other options but, I wouldn't jump ship too soon.

He was not specific on the type of purchase. He says anyone who purchases a KIA in May.

I won't be buying a KIA either but I'd love to sail on that ship with him...bet it'll be loads of fun. Too bad I can't buy a ticket. That sailing is not available for sale anywhere that I could find. How did he pull this off, I wonder? Did he book the ship before the 2013 schedule came out?

No. He probably did not book before 2013.

My sister and I have been booked on this boat for over a month now. Not sure what's happening to our booking. We can't pull it up on "My Cruises" page on RCCL. Upon calling RCCL, they say the booking is still there.

We are waiting till this is all over to see what happens to our reservation. Will we be upgraded? Will they give us a good deal on another cruise? Will they do nothing? It is still 7 months away and it's not a big cruise.

I had the same feelings about it being a fun cruise with all these happy people and their winnings! Although I do tend to go to bed early!
