At least I planned/Booked some alternate early Dates, instead on my usual Fall Sailings in 2025 was able get some ok pricing on B3B out of Galveston. At least these havn't jacked up the Corner/Afts to Sunset yet that would have cost about $2K more on future Radiance Class Sailings Edited February 15 by ONECRUISER 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spotted a test load for a 4 night sailing in November 2025 and @Blue Eyed Belfast Belle posted a screenshot of it way back several pages ago. Here's a screenshot of the screenshot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bg2310 Posted February 16 #2180 Share Posted February 16 So I am looking at booking a TA for the Odyssey this November and currently have a hold for a balcony room. I will likely be putting the deposit down for just 1 person (myself), but in the event I want to add a 2nd person down the road, can I do that? Will I just have to pay another deposit then if so? Also, as far as the refundable deposit goes, is that just added to the total cost or do you pay it upfront with the deposit if you want it? (I declined it so far.)

Refundable is just a higher fare, no affect on the deposit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-Covid, Radiance was down here in Australia every summer. Considering we normally share ships with Alaska, with any luck she may be returning to Sydney.

toad455 Posted February 16 #2185 Share Posted February 16 FYI, the longer Odyssey cruises in January 2026 have already had several price hikes. Just a heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check back next week. Oh no, the Wonder will be doing 3 and 4 night cruises like the Utopia? Oh no. We are trying to plan a 7 night family cruise on the Wonder out of Florida in either June 2025 or during the holiday season of 2025. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seeing any group rates at this point either that are appealing. $3500 balconies on Brilliance for NE/Canada. Yikes. I saw one appealing cruise for March 2026, but when I reached out to my travel agent, he said there were no group rates on that sailing offered. At the prices asked on the RCCL website, it is a firm NO from us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then we are likely done with RCCL. Looking at other lines or possibly non cruise vacations in general until some semblance of value returns. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiseboy89130 Posted February 17 #2197 Share Posted February 17 It looks like Explorer ends her Med season on September 21st 2025 in Barcelona - so unless she goes into drydock - there might be an early WB TA - I'm guessing a 12 night to be in PC on a Friday to start her 3/4 night cruises🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping for some longer cruises to pick from. Jewel 11 or 12 days like they used to have. Now that I'm moving to florida so far the choices have been disappointing. The voyager TA is 13 days, just 1 day short of getting that $250 obc stockholders credit. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on that cruise that ends in Barcelona on the 21st.

We did a TA last year and spent 4 days, which wasn't long enough to see everything. Such friendly people and beautiful sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
