Anyone going on the Celtic Thunder cruise?

Is anyone else going on the CT cruise in Nov/14 having difficulty getting booked? The CT booking team told me I would have my personalized booking link emailed to me a couple of days ago, but I still have nothing. Should I be worried? They are also not responding to my email asking for an update re what is happening.

I was also really hoping to get booking finalized so that I could pay for the cabin before the Canadian dollar tanks any further.

I realize they have a monumental task getting everyone who put a predeposit down organized, but I'm starting to get concerned that I've fallen through the cracks. Anyone else feeling that way?

Thanks, all!

Have you received your link yet? If not, I'd call Rachael at the number provided on the CT cruise site.

I cannot find anything on the web site about pricing. Do you know where to find that info?

I think you click on the picture of each cabin type and it takes you to pricing. (on the CT cruise site)

Glad everything is ok.

I emailed the CT ticket reservations, asking about seating order in the main theater based on booking order as well as who will be performing in the main theater. The response from CT was that the seating are not being assigned yet and the performance schedule of the artists are still in the works. Thus, no info has been passed onto the reservations department. I hope the end results will be as described on their website.

I tried to book my reservations yesterday, choosing the "pay in full" option which offers a 5% discount. However, the total did not reflect the 5% discount. I wrote in to find out why, but no one has responded yet. So, I can't place my reservations yet.

For those of you who have successfully booked your reservations, were you able to choose your stateroom from an availability chart? I couldn't find it.

With this being a full charter, perhaps CT is handling everything without help from MSC which is in the travel business.

Have most of you booked your lodging, yet? Would love to hear from you all.

Regarding staterooms, on the CT website in the Pricing tab, choose Pricing and Availability from the drop down menu and you can see which categories are still available. The Ship tab on the website has the deck plans in its drop down menu.

We are booked at the Hyatt but if I'm not mistaken, I think the block reserved for CT is now full. Looks like the Courtyard Marriott still has availability. The CT website also has a link to other hotels.

Please join the Roll Call for this cruise to share information.:)

Hi Everybody! I am very happy to be on Celtic Thunder Cruise 2.0! If any of you are on facebook, we have a group. I can't post the link, but search for "Celtic Thunder Cruise 2.0". I joined facebook last August just to be part of the group for the first cruise, and I'm very glad I did. We have t-shirts, ID tags and pins for sale, plus all kinds of lists: who is staying where, who is flying in on what airline and the date and time (so we can arrange to meet up for shuttles to the hotels), when your assigned dining time is and if you'd like table mates, cruise tips, etc. Very worthwhile.

I am traveling alone. I went on last year's cruise by myself and had a wonderful time. I look forward to meeting you all next November!

I'm checking whether this Celtic Thunder Cruise (November 8-12) is for real. Supposedly we received a letter saying I won from the Facebook drawings, providing I pay taxes and gratuities.

I'm a little stunned at this point.

Same here. It is for real. I called and chose a cabin and made payment and two days later got the confirmation email and booking number. All charges are sent directly to MSC and I have already been able to register on line with MSC.

 

I will look for the roll call and the FB site for this cruise. We will be on the following cruise from the 12th of Nov. So 14 amazing days on the beautiful Divina. That is why I signed up to try to win a free cruise just before the one already booked. I think the CT travel group is trying to fill up the ship by offering the "free" cruise for only the port taxes and fees.

 

I understand dining will be open seating but will we still given a assigned time? Never been on a charter cruise before so lots of questions.

 

Sounds like fun.

I also got this, I threw it in the trash, always skeptical about these FREE things.

Omg...you have got to be kidding me! I know SO many people who are trying to win in their monthly drawing!

There's still time!! My letter says it ends Sept. 12, 2014. It even says if a previous award certificate winner wins the Grand Prize of a complimentary cruise later, all funds will be refunded.

If you went last year, can you give me any tips on what to expect. Any and all will be appreciated.

Curious about what level of cabin category (B1, B2, B3) I might get. If I choose balcony, would I get a decent location and size of balcony. Or would it be the Juliets on Deck 13.

When I called, I was given the choice of deck 9 or 10. Deck 9 were connecting cabins so I asked what else was available and was given 2 to chose from on deck 10. Took one of those. She said they were filling up decks 9&10 so don't know if you would be offered anything different or not. Good luck!

I'm trying desperately to see whether a cousin or two can sail with me.

I booked through my MOR cruise Alumni group a couple of weeks ago. Still waiting to get confirmation. Did anyone else book through the MOR Alumni group?

Yes, I'm booked as well through MOR alumni. Also is open to all On The Blue previous cruisers.

If anyone is unable to win a drawing and will book this cruise anyway, pretty please, could you let me refer you.

Have you gotten a confirmation from them yet? I haven't.

Hi, I did the Cruise to the Edge with the same charter company, and just booked CT for my family.

 

Dining is open seating, no assigned times for it. For CTTE, we had to choose a time, mainly to place us into performances for the 5 top acts (we had 'blue' and 'pink' groups and our lanyards were these colors). It may have spoiled me, as i preferred the anytime dining option.

I received my confirmation and balcony assignment. Lets me breathe a little easier.

And if someone has not already booked this cruise, pretty please, could I refer you?
