Petoonya Posted May 28, 2020 #1 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I'm (I guess was) booked on this and it's vanished. Everything past May 5 for May is gone. Yikes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted May 28, 2020 #2 Share Posted May 28, 2020 OK, try not to panic. [OK, panic. But let's grasp at a straw...] They just offered you a free upgrade because your agent has a big group on that sailing. That doesn't sound like they were in the process of cancelling or chartering [unless you are part of the charter]. So maybe they are repricing and just took those cruises off the website until they get all the changes input??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've taken several deep breaths 😉 It'll be ok.....they have a 4/29 18 day that hopefully I can switch to if this isn't a go. Lost a bucket of $ stupidly on air to do this cruise and will punch myself if I screwed up again. Tomorrow I sense that I'll be writing that all is well. Thanks for your calming words. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the booking is still showing on My Windstar and lo and behold Windstar says it's sold out as is the sailing before it. So my panic was for naught. I guess the prices have created a BUY. Thanks for your support and thoughtfulness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milepig Posted May 29, 2020 #9 Share Posted May 29, 2020 So happy for you and that I could help a bit. I don’t know if it’s unique to WS, but they don’t say “sold out”, cruises just disappear from the schedule. I am so jealous, we’re stuck here in Chicago where I say “every day is a Wednesday”. It just goes on and on and trip after trip is cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping that this COVID stuff is a little behind us with perhaps a vaccine next spring or fear you'll be comforting me again. Was back in Chicago just this time last year, mostly visiting my hometown of Wilmette. Weather was up and down, mostly down but mid-June is approaching and heavenly times will be upon you again. Thanks for your encouragement. Would love it if we could do the So Pacific together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cruises stayed on the schedule and said Call for Availability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second, it lets long-term planners see what the entire season looks like. Third, it may secure a few waitlist bookings that ensure the cruise stays full. And it shouldn't be any harder to program than delisting a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other curious thing is that the day before my cruise disappeared my TA got me an upgraded from a B to an A (free). Seems odd that there would be any space to move anyone if the cruise was close to sold out. But to heck with it. If I can trust them I'm on the cruise.
