An old NCC booked to escape the NRD!:D

Gotcha, I thought those were pretty much useless for the past several years.

I only book what I want to take.

The old NCC ones are very usefull.....low deposit + move around to lock in prices convert to NRD once you are certain....

 

Helps especially with staggered relase dates!:D

You should try to think outside your box sometimes....;)

Just to clarify....I am actually talking about a NCB = -next cruise booking- with a refundable fare...

Before the change 7-2017 - those were super good for this purpose!

NCC is an old term for it...when it was still a certificate!

Thanks, will look into it.

They are not worth getting now that you have to pay the full deposit if you want a refundable changeable booking. I believe he is talking about bookings that he made on board prior to non refundable where you only have $50 or $100 deposit down on each one and they have OBC that will carryover if you change them

Jewel Pan Can for March 2019 is up on Royal web site

[bigeck]

Looks like Feb 25th Miami to San Diego

13th March San Diego to Miami

29th March Transatlantic to Rome.

 

That leaves a gap before the first Rome cruise.

So RCI thinks it can make more money on a Pan Can than SJ cruises, yet it got out of the Pan Can business for the past two years.:confused:

Looks like its doing 4 and 5 nighters from Jan the 2 Pan Can

Mariner is doing 3 to 4 nighters from Miami.

Why don't they do a 14 night Caribbean from Miami instead of half way through having to come back to Miami.

Even a 10 or 12 night

I just read on that social media that Jewels Spring TA in 2019 has also been cancelled :eek:

Or a spare new NCC booked as a refundable...

 

 

 

Is that the same as a cruise you may or may not use? A backup or place holder?

Very expensive. I wouldn't pay that as I think Celebrity is a better deal

[Biker19]

The prices are up on the RCI site - not sure what the going rate was but they seem reasonable.

Sounds like more Suite Lounges coming. I sure wish they would figure out how to fit in a CK.

All the cruises before it is showing sold out as well.

[Biker19]

Very expensive.

Not when compared to Vision this year.

[bigeck]

Must be some willing to pay the price

[Clarea]

JW not showing up for me yet, only Vision.

[Biker19]

JW not showing up for me yet, only Vision.

I only found the Eastbound one so far - all prices pp $1,111 inside, 1,287 OV, 2,055 for balcony. As usual, fairly high taxes of $300+. 16 days 6 ports.

Only Eastbound now as well. There is a gap in bookings though

 

I wonder if they regret releasing them early

[kruzerci]

Looks like they're backfilling the cancelled Navigator sailings with Jewel before her Panama Canal.
