ptod Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 I booked it. I am weak. I blame my MEI TA and just to show her, we intend to go on the first sailing and have a mind blowing good time (no time to sleep on this 4 day trip)! Please pray for us.....

Booked thru MEI Travel. Earlier today I got an email from my TA announcing that the Odyssey was open for booking. On a lark, I sent a response asking if there were any group rates available yet for the new ship. She said there were and more to be added, but asked if I was interested in the first sailing. I poo-pooed that idea but she sent me a quote anyway.......and I took it. It was the most exciting hour for me today.

Canada/New England is one of our favorite places to go, though, plus being on a Radiance class, which we love - and an entire week - Mr SpeedNoodles would not think it's a fair exchange. Maybe I'll come into some money, LOL. Lovetocruise2002 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That what I think too 4 days not worth to pay to fly there for us. Either B2B or combine with Navigator or Mariner. Cheapest interior is $1417 for 2 and look like the one after on Nov 9 is $1469 for 2 so around $2886 for B2B. For Balcony is around $4000 for B2B.

twangster Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Went back and scored a bigger balcony, same cabin for both. Double dip to CocoCay and 9 nights on a brand new ship. Woot! Woot! EDIT Oops, I booked it again, and again and again Now I'm on a B4B. First four sailings, same cabin. I better step away from the keyboard. ellcee, Momof4crazytocruise, Susie and 8 others 4 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike P Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 I got a balcony for less than $300 more then what a 4 day Navigator sailing is for the same timeframe. I think that's well worth it for a newest ship on it's inaugural sailing. ellcee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
