Was it a particular category that was sold out? Or you had certain room numbers in mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted March 24 Author Report Share Posted March 24 33 minutes ago, John Blahnik said: Any info on air? I booked my flights last week in anticipation of it going up. It's not dirt cheap, especially considering how close Orlando and Nassau are. But considering how long I've gone without a cruise, I'm willing to pay the flight prices if it means getting back on a cruise ship. Airfare is always a game anyway, and Royal Caribbean may open up flights in their system. Royal Caribbean reserved spacing for flights for their Barbados cruises, and Celebrity did the same for Millennium from St. Maarten. There could be some reserve opening for Adventure as well.

JLMoran Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 19 minutes ago, twangster said: I am very happy to see this but I do expect rates to go up as the ship books up on a particular date. Royal has to be watching and itching to nudge prices up if demand is strong. The early birds may get the (cheapest) worms. Your booking is right in the time window I'm looking at for Vision, so I think I'll be good. Asked my TA yesterday to put a hold on whatever 2B/4B cabin she can get the day the bookings open up, so I'll get a lock on the opening-day pricing. twangster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Van Niekerk Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 No joy here. Tried clearing content, incognito, etc. and do not see Nassau as departure port and no Adventure sailings prior to October (which is Galveston). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're searching departure port, it's under South American & Caribbean (not the US) tab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbieBell Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 My amazing Travel Agent, Michelle at MEI had me booked by 7:00 a.m. Texas time for June 19 sailing. 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. teddy, Sharla, Matt and 5 others 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, there was an ad the size of a Rockefeller Christmas tree on the front page taking me right to Adventure and they even slid in the Vision of the Seas under the same ad. Then change to departure port of Nassau under South America & Caribbean like @John Blahnikmention above.

michelle Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 Reminder - the ships departs @ 9PM out of Nassau - to give clients time to fly in but if you are looking for a pre or post hotel. Courtyard Nassau Downtwon- Junkanoo Beach by Marriott has some good rates, not on Paradise Island but reasonable Matt, teddy and Cruising With JT 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Van Niekerk Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 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.
