Well done! ️️️ I've booked the segment too-- as well as the one before and the one after. Looking forward to the experience and the adventure.

Thank you very much Pattycruise, appreciate your advice! ️️️️ Appreciate very much indeed the expertise in the RCB community!! Of the 11 cruises that I have booked for 2024, I've found 1 to reprice and one to move to 2025. For the cruises that I won't reprice-- one of those cruises now prices at 100% higher rate than the price for the reservation I made at the end of April-- Just 4 and a half months ago. Will also investigate repricing two of the cruises in 2025. Hope you all have a terrific Thursday and a blest week! Happy cruising!

Thank you for your prompt reply, appreciate the confirmation. ️️️️️

Greetings fellow cruisers! Hope you're doing well. Before writing this, I did a search on 340 single supplement. While there are 7 pages of items, I didn't see any entries that matched my question. The net of my question: for those solo cruisers who reached 340 points, did you have existing cruise reservations that were repriced after 340 points-- or did you wait to make all your new cruise reservations after you reached 340 points-- and therefore receiving the reduced single supplement when you made those new reservations ? I currently cruise solo, paying the full single solo supplement. Most of the cruises I have booked for 2024 were booked through Next Cruise. Each time I booked a cruise through Next Cruise, I told the representative that my expectation was that the single supplement for the cruises would be reduced after 340 points. At no time did any Next Cruise representative reply that each existing cruise reservation would be repriced to current day prices first, then the reduced single supplement would be applied. During the 1 cruise in May on Adventure, the 1 cruise in June on Brilliance, the 2 cruises in August on Jewel, and the 2 cruises in September on Grandeur, I discussed the repricing topic with the Loyalty Ambassadors onboard, none of the six Loyalty Ambassadors mentioned anything about the repricing to current day pricing first before the single supplement is applied. On the cruise ending September 9, I reached 344 C&A points. My expectation was that the 11 cruises I have booked for 2024 would be repriced to reduce the single supplement. While I was onboard on September 12, I emailed my travel agent and left her a voicemail message about this topic. ( my travel agent works for WTH). We had a call on Monday afternoon ( Sept 18) to discuss this, we agreed that my travel agent would call C&A and ask about repricing. On Tuesday afternoon ( Sept 19), my travel agent called back with this news " C&A shows you have 344 points, that's the good news. The bad news is-- before reducing the single supplement, they will reprice the existing cruises to current day rates and then apply the reduced single supplement. The likely result will not be a savings over the prices of 12 or more months ago." Before I call C&A to express my disappointment at their process, I wanted to survey the RCB community to see what experience the solo cruisers have had with the reduced solo supplement. While this may have been a rookie mistake on my part, I think following RC's repricing process would be more expensive than keeping most of my reservations as they are. Looking forward to your replies. Have a Wonderful Wednesday and a blest week!

Thank you ALL for your comments and replies.️️️️️ Agreed that officers aren't the decision makers on what ships are sold when. Next time I'll take officer comments with a pound of salt. I too prefer Radiance class to Vision class. Happy Cruising, have a blest day!

Welcome to RC Blog. I'm sure others will reply with their comments on this topic. My two cents: Transatlantic cruises are always wonderful. If you're concerned about the " the motion of the ocean" bring your preferred OTC ( Bonine, Dramamine, etc). My first TA was the maiden sail of Quantum, this sailing on Enchantment will be my 5th TA. While I always bring Bonine along, I have yet to need it on the cruise ship. ( I do sometimes need it on a Tender.). Have had two TA's out of Barcelona ( on Freedom and on Allure), those were both smooth cruises. Another TA on Brilliance ( out of Amsterdam back to Tampa) was also smooth ( while we dodged two hurricanes in the Atlantic). The maiden sail on Quantum ( out of Southampton) had the roughest seas--balcony furniture on deck 9 was wet most of the time from sea spray. See you onboard.

Greetings all... Hope you're doing well. I'm cruising on a Vision class ship this week ( ports are Labadee, Falmouth, Grand Cayman). During the Top Tier event on day 2, a Senior Officer ( not the captain) talked up the benefits of the Vision class ships-- compared to the Radiance class ships. He then made the statement " we are going to sell those Radiance class ships-- do you know any buyers?" While every cruise ship has its life span, the Radiance class ships are newer than the Vision Class. Can't wait for your comments!
