Deployment 2019-20 booking season begins

[MrBoccia]

Been to the Meyer Werft yesterday, hoping that our guide will drop some internal info about the Spectrum. Unfortunately the guide was well prepared (or completely unknowingly) and said "Spectrum will go to China? Never heard of that."

 

See here one of the 120 meters Spectrum-blocks waiting outside (WARNING: its not really exciting :cool: ):

Doubt they will sell to the public.

My information is that only few media people will be allowed on the crossing - no public sale.:eek::loudcry:

You can doubt it, but they‘ll start selling the cruises to the public tomorrow on the ship.

Cruise Next Manager encouraged everybody to come and see her for further informations and to book these cruises.

Who is your source?

 

They have it already loaded in Air2sea,if it’s media only, it wouldn’t even be offered on Air2sea

We will see what happens.....I do not consider a next cruise manager or the air2sea website a credible source!:D

 

But maybe they are right this time!:confused:

 

Not sure I would even want to book Spectrum given that you are so restricted on the Solarium and such....

 

Will be interesting to see the pricing!

[blueboys24]

Ive just looked and they are there for the Barcelona to Dubai etc

Here is the Spectrum webpage.

Isn’t it a bit weird that both Spectrum legs are the same $1312 for a balcony? Certainly no bargain.

But high demand so they will get filled at this cost or more. Been watching all day and lot of them are cabin's getting scooped up...

[Thorben-Hendrik]

Wow guess I was wrong! :rolleyes::eek:

But certainly high priced for a repo especially with all the taxes!

 

Well - I will have to pass on this... :(

I have checked the deck plans and cant see a D lounge. Only silver and golden lounges.

 

Anyone have any info yet on how the D and above will be catered for?

Wonder if the release of the Spectrum - Barcelona to Dubai voyage will put pressure on the pricing of the Oasis TA?!:confused:

They prices are a bit steep for the Barcelona to Dubai leg...the price per person is the same that I paid for a Solo Double Occupancy on Jewel Suez Canal in Nov 2019!

< $100 a night for a balcony including taxes isn't too bad for a brand new ship.

 

Just booked.

Maybe, If it's completed early. We will know when they do...

Lucky you getting it booked.

 

My point is that I am paying £1450 on Jewel for the same trip Solo Occupancy and if I were to do it on Spectrum it would be £2800...no new ship is worth double the price!

A 4V (the cheapest inside) has the following breakdown

GUEST 1

Stateroom / cruise fare

£2,286.00

Pre-paid gratuities

£175.76

Taxes, Fees and Port Expenses

£221.00

Per person total:

£2,682.76

I can see there is a Solo inside for £1900 + taxes + grats. I am not getting your quote for a balcony though

Understand but not sure why you pay UK prices rather than book through a USA TA. There are studios on Spectrum although I dont know their price or availability.

My travel insurance states I have to book through a UK travel agent to have ABTA (Assiciation of British Travel Agent) protection.

 

I know people who do book through US TAs but unfortunately I am restricted.
