Remaining cabins on Marina

[FinelyCruising]

Can someone help me understand the rate structure? I am not following what is on the website, what is in the brochure and what the 2 for 1 cruise fares are.

 

What would a cruise fares be for 2, say in an A4 for Miami to Miami. Assume no air.

 

Thanks.:)

The fares in the "2 for 1" column are the per person fares.

 

Therefore, on the March 16th sailiing of the Marina, which is a 12 day cruise, the per person fare would be $4399 in an A4 cabin.

Less the air credit probably about $250. + taxes;)

As of today, the Colonial Crossing looks to be the 2nd Marina itinerary to show being fully booked up...

Pretty impressive that both transAtlantic inaugurals are fully reserved barely 10 days after reservations opened. Oceania execs must be thrilled with this response to Marina.

They're not "sold out" until final payment is made. If you really want to be on these early cruises keep checking, especially as payment time approaches.

 

Exactly right.

[JimandStan]

Exactly right.

 

How exactly does it work when choosing among those cabins that again become available?

 

Must one jump on the first rooms that come on-line, or is it more prudent to hold out for a particular category or location?

 

We always book on the very first day that a cruise is introduced, so I have no idea how to book without those choices open to me.

You can be put on the wait list by category so if a room comes available it's yours for the taking - if you don't accept one because it's not where you want to be located I don't know if you stay at the top of the list or if you are dropped back to the bottom or not.

I almost always book early as well...

But...I would not sit around watching a sold out or nearly sold out cruise waiting for the "right" cabin to show up...There's a reason the cabins are booked...it's called high demand...If I really wanted to be on a particular cruise, I'd grab whatever cabin guaranties me being on the cruise...I'd keep watching...or have my TA watching...or let the cruise line know by way of a waiting list or otherwise...or all three...that I'd prefer a different cabin...

 

...but "beggars can't be choosers"...If you're booking late, you take whatever they have...

 

Besides, though some of us, when booking early and with a choice, may have certain preferences, the truth is that you can have a great cruise whichever cabin you are in...Heck, though I may prefer a nicely located balcony, I will happily cruise in an inside cabin if that is what is available...and if it's the only cabin available, so be it...

 

Would you rather pass it up and end up staying home?

Well, I booked last month for Marina's crossing in Nov 2011, a year and one-half out.

 

I could not get the category I wanted ©, nor were any B4s available, which was my second choice.. I took a B2, and am waitlisted for a C or a B4, and will switch if one becomes available.

 

I find it interesting that the two new Princess newbuilds ordered from Fincantieri have a similar to Marina lifeboat placement, and Princess has apparenly eliminated outside cabins entirely - only balcony cabins, minis, suites, or insides.
