Clarea Posted February 24, 2018 #1577 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Just me dreaming again That's the worst part about the cancellations and why it's easy to understand why people book backup cruises. By the time they cancel and inform you of the options, there can be very little choice on the price protected sailings, especially if the cruise is somewhat unusual, like a transatlantic.

Saab4444 Posted February 24, 2018 #1587 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Greek Islands and Eastern Med is commanding high prices for 2018, Friends was going to book Rhapsody and it was £3000 for 8 nights with direct flights from Edinburgh. Maybe they will move Rhapsody to Dubai and Jewel to Venice and Voyager to Civitavecchia. Just a thought Dubai is only a winter destination.

atgood Posted February 24, 2018 #1589 Share Posted February 24, 2018 You can dream. I hope you are correct as this would mean a Pan Can for Jewel We could go for that. Jewel has a lot more balconies than Vision which is doing two Panama Canal cruises in late 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted February 24, 2018 #1590 Share Posted February 24, 2018 If the categories are gone, might get better Obc??? Doubtful Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted February 24, 2018 #1591 Share Posted February 24, 2018 They are giving everyone the same thing! It is a standard process! They are re-booking thousands of passengers - they are not going to haggle with every single one of them! :rolleyes: You get the offer they want to make - you can choose A, B or C end of story! Not in my experience. The OBC is determined by cabin type. OBC for suites might be double that of an OV This is why FCC is easier. It is a percentage of the original fare, less taxes.

Beachammo Posted February 24, 2018 #1595 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Things we have to do to get an Aft Corner Aft...... I can't be a TA for those on Cruise Critic cause it takes all my time to be a TA for my DW and friends/family. DW deserves the best balcony on the ship. Now that I've retired.......really don't want the responsibility of a job. lol You are right John. It would be coming over to the "Dark" side to be my apprentice. Being a business owner for 25 years has taught me to look for any loophole to get an advantage over my competition. Thanks guys for making me laugh this morning.......

Ok, but on this case no need to move Jewel to Venice for Rhapsody or Voyager to Civitaveccia for Jewel. All this is summer deployment.
