Sooo...when is the new Group Cruise announcement 

[smokeybandit]

That's probably an encouraging sign for the continued path to normal for North American cruising

US Sailings

Where did you find the sailings? When I got to find a cruise, it still shows sailings out of Hong Kong

TAs should be able to book now.  It says bookings open 5pm today so I would assume they'll go live on the site this afternoon.

Wonder will replace Allure in the Med.

Allure bookings will be moved to Wonder!

My speculation..Allure will go out of service to get her AMP?

AMP'd to make her debut in Galveston.  Seems like perfect timing.  Fingers crossed....now to move my Symphony of the Seas April to Wonder

I was contemplating a move from Harmony, but I think it's more logical to keep both booked just in case

Allure bookings for the Med next year are already closed. So it definitely looks like the Wonder will be taking her place!

I’ve got Sharla on it now to move my March Harmony to March Wonder

[Jill]

I’m so excited. Already got Sharla checking for me to move my Harmony to Wonder. IF I can get roughly the same fare. Harmony was booked only to get us to Diamond Plus and it’s a pretty great price. Was trying to cut some corners but this news changes everything!

That a girl!  

[wannabecruiseexpert]

This is exciting! We have a spring break sailing booked on Oasis that I may switch to Wonder now, depending on price! TA is on vacation so will have to wait until this evening to check the prices myself

We did too..but now second guessing which date..may have to hold a couple and think it out 

[WAAAYTOOO]

VERY few SC suites on Wonder.  No Star Loft Suites at all.  No prices for anything yet, that I can see.

[Ampurp85]

Wonder might be too big for me but I am enticed by that all suite  

If it is also junior suites in the neighborhood, I am unusually solo unless it is around Oct/Nov, then I might bite.

[Atricks]

Mike Szwajkowski--Cruise director on the Odyssey--is moving to Wonder, he mentioned that to us last week.  When the obvious question came up "are you going to learn Mandarin?", he did mention Covid has changed a lot....

Didn't expect it this fast though.  Awesome.

 

[PG Cruiser]

Booked!!!

 

HUGE shoutout to my TA @StephanieH for getting me this booking!

3/18 For 4 adults A2 is 16.2 and A1 is 16.7.  Sharla has 9734 on hold for us so I can get my head around adding another cruise for next year

Your TA can get pricing with BOGO when they input a SPECIFIC date. That's what mine has to do. If you want to shift a booking to WOS then your TA has to do it through Royal. This is what mine is doing right now. All Star class is gone as of this posting it may change of course.

 Nice! I’m expecting mine any moment. This cruise (March 18) is $500 less than my March Harmony that was in a CP balcony. Now we’re in an Ocean balcony. Waiting on my details as to which deck. 

[Jdf]

We were booked on Allure from Fort Lauderdale to Barcelona 14 days on 24/4 its now cancelled in cruiseplanner. Can we expect RC to move us as well to Wonder ???

[Matt]

Booked on first 2 sailings. Not sure I am going on second sailing yet, but we shall see

I'm not sure Wonder was going to have Star Class since it destined for China.

I'm guessing they will have to rethink that now that she is destined for America.

Is any action required? My future cruises on Royal account shows Allure June 5, 2022 as cancelled. I see bookings open September 22nd. I have an A1, I hope I will be switched to the same room and price protected.  I got a good price on release day last December.

Typically for a ship swap there isn't any action required.

The deck plans for the two ships are very different particularly for suites so it will take them sometime to figure out cabins such as yours.

I’m hoping yes for you! How totally awesome would that be? Like Christmas in April! 

[Jill]

Officially booked for March 18th! $500 less than my March Harmony! 
 

WOOT!

DANGIT!  I'm pretty sure my dance card is full - I don't know where I could fit one of these in. DANGIT DANGIT!

You just have to cancel one and replace it! You can doooo it!

This is why I am not canceling.  I will double book and Cruise With Confidence   Either way I win by getting to cruise and Royal wins for getting to hang onto my money for longer.

Nothing like this, right?

[DanielB]

Sent my MEI agent @BethD my request for March 4th!  I will hang onto my April 16th Symphony as a back up and then cancel with Cruise with Confidence if needed.

Apparently you need 3 guests to see pricing.

Then you have to call to remove the 3rd guest.

Royal IT.
