When Do Marella Stop Bookings

Well we left it a day late so lost out on the cruise we had been tracking for 11 th Oct.Cruise was and still is available I think but theres no flight availability from our local airport or any airport in Scotland.Thats the risk we took and were aware of that Looked from last Thursday and over the weekend for cruise/flights from local airport but nothing.Checked again yesterday and lo and behold a cruise and flights from our local airport appeared at a vert good discounted price so it was all systems go.Booked our test today for Thursday then straight down to local TUI TA and booked the cruise and off on Friday. Never booked this late before but looking forward to it plus its on the Explorer which we never been on before so a new adventure Fingers crossed and hope this cruise turns out a whole better than our last Every cloud -

Too late to edit previous post Ignore the easyjet flight,its now showing TUI flight Regards selecting/booking a cabin.Did a bit digging You can reserve a cabin when you book, or up to 15 days before you go, from just Β£50. If you want to request a cabin number after youβve booked, just call 0203 451 2682 and weβll do the rest. -

Hi D Yeah if we decide to to book we,ll be popping into a TUI shop to book Last night there were over 30 inside cabins available on Deck 3,today deck 3 wasn,t even a deck options,started deck 6,7 or 8 Another thing I noticed,its also now showing as an easyjet flight,yet next page you can select and pay for your seat but for a TUI flight π€π -

This cruise I,ve been for 11th October, on checking today i,m no longer allowing me to select/choose a preferrred deck/cabin.No longer showing deck layout or cabin availability It shows cabin options/choose cabin but when I click continue it jumps straight to flights Was wondering if this is a glitch on their system or is that they stop the ability for the customer to select/choose/book a cabin a certain time before the cruise? Anyone know? -

If you visit TUI website and click the link at top of the page "entry requirements for cruises"info is there All I will say is,if I was going on a cruise from Palma on 11th October I would not be testing -

Hi Nancy The closest we have booked was two weeks but that was a number of years ago and it was down to cost and the unusual circumstance of availability from our local airport at such a short time before departure and very unusual As you say the longer we leave it our choice of airport could well sell out but thats the chance we,ll have to take if we decide to go ahead The other stumbling block is,we always pay to select our seats and theres a possibility if we decide to book there are no seats together,something we would,t know until we complete the booking.Dont see why this cant be done at time of booking when your paying Β£44pp(Β£38 in July)for it Getting the cabin grade isn,t a big issue for us as it,s only a weeks cruise and we spend very little time in our cabin although that wasn,t the case in July,in fact it was the polar opposite π Still bouncing about whether to book or not.Decisions,decisions I used to be indecisive but unsure now Thats one thing we do have through our BS account although I pay a supplement for medical conditions -

Hi D Its the 11th October we,re tracking and always do a full dummy booking with the extras.Its dropped just over Β£200 since the weekend The risk we take leaving it late is flight/seat availability from our local airport but if there isn,t when and if we decide to book,hey ho -

Thanks folks Looking at a cruise in a few weeks time,price dependant and as dronnygirl says,no testing required for Palma -
How All, We normally book our cruises many,many months in advance but currently tracking prices which are up and down like fiddlers elbow and possibly looking to make a lateish booking Anyone know how long before a cruise they stop advertising or taking bookings?

No probs B Think its more my density than you wording it wrongly

Hi RR So basically they,re no longer scanning the QR code on NHS vax which they did in July? Nope,we didn,t fill in any forms for our cruise in July.
-
Hi B I,m totally confused.com So now you have to show paper version of NHS vaccination proof as opposed to the app on phone ?π€ What is/was this spTH form?We didnt have to fill in anything like that when we went in July
-
Still required to show proof of recovery or evidence of being fully vaccinated until at least November 15th

We were on a cruise where we sailed from Cartagena minus a couple who didn,t return to the ship in time
