Brogan Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 £600 for interior guarantee on the August sailings here in the UK. Crazy how reasonably priced they are, wish I could say the same about the air fare. Quote

I got air DFW non stop to Nassau $400 round trip. We chose to go a day early and booked the Marriott Courtyard and they allowed a 1 night booking. Cheers to Michelle for going the extra mile to make this one happen, but then again, that’s her style when working with you on any travel plans. Anything for my BarbieBell Cruising With JT 1 Quote
twangster Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 First sailing is going fast. Just VP suites left. Balconies going quickly. I think it's safe to say Royal nailed it. Brogan, JLMoran, Cruising With JT and 1 other 2 2 Quote
Brogan Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 What time is all aboard if the ship sails at 21:00? Quote
smokeybandit Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 Almost $800 cheaper than my other cruise. Though I'll spend that in higher airfare Quote

Marc Van Niekerk Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 A bit more goofing around and I figured it out! I'm GEO BLOCKED! Select United States instead of Canada and I see the large banner ad for Adventure and lo and behold I can see Nassau under Caribbean departure ports. Hope this may help others. Quote

Brogan Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 BOOKED! Flying from the UK, booked on the 21st August 2021. Would have like to have been on a sooner cruise but dont think we would have been fully vaccinated in time. PRebecca, Cruising With JT and KristiZ 3 Quote

I am headed to the mountains. We won't be vaccinated in time. Hubby is getting his tomorrow but most of Canada is spacing the shots out 4 months apart. I might be May at the earliest so summer cruising is a no go. MICHELLE, PRebecca, Ogilthorpe and 6 others 1 8 Quote
joshgates Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 Looks like prices are already inching up too. Quote
teddy Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 Congrats to all who are booking. I’m bummed our schedule won’t let us do the same. I’m looking forward to cruising vicariously through everyone. MICHELLE and Cruising With JT 2 Quote

KirstenCapeTown Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 Oh my goodness I'm so envious of you all! Living in South Africa, we're a long way away from getting the vaccine. Travel restrictions don't help either. Congratulations to you lovely folks that can soon enjoy a cruise! Quote
smokeybandit Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 Are there any indications of capacity limits or are they booking all cabins? Quote

smokeybandit Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 Actually when I enter my reservation I get comparable prices, but still more expensive with fewer options. The browse option is a lot more expensive. Edit: air2sea only shows main cabin, not basic economy, hence the difference Quote
Mightycruiser Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 I just heard from my TA that Royal contacted them and told them there may be a problem with B2B cruises and to be prepared. Anyone hear anything about this? Quote

If not I would be glad to share transportation with you to the ship. It's about a 15 minute walk to the Courtyard Junkanoo beach. If you've ever been to Nassau, the Courtyard is about the same distance from Senor Frogs as Senor Frogs is to the port (assuming they're using the same port to sail out of in Nassau that they use for port stops).

We were still hoping our July cruise on Symphony would happen and had no plans to switch to Adventure today. Now we have an awesome room on a cruise that is going to happen!

smokeybandit Posted March 25, 2021 Report Posted March 25, 2021 Looks like my return flight options are 2pm or 5pm. Anyone see any hints on any new disembarkation processes that would suggest 2pm is too early? Quote

Nothing firm but i wouldnt think disembarkation would be overly complicated ... embarkation is much more likely to be a long process (IMO) Quote
Cruising With JT Posted March 25, 2021 Report Posted March 25, 2021 Jealous of all you who are able to book! Exciting times... I am not yet vaccinated and not sure how comfortable I'd feel being one of the first ones back on a ship but I am looking forward to hearing all about your experiences! Currently booked on Symphony in Feb 2022, Oasis in Feb 2023, and looking to book a 5-nighter out of LA on the Navigator for late summer/early Fall 2022 with the amazing @michelleon Monday 3/29! Woot!

Air2Sea stated a $100 discount on our flights. Definitely saved close to $400 for our family of 4 on American in July (PHL) so this was a nice surprise. On another note, yesterday I was able to look at Cruise Planner but today I get the “This sailing has been suspended...” message. Anyone else getting this? Quote
