DunkelBierJay 648 Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 They have my money from right after Matt's scope the other night and MEI is taking it over once Brock gets back tomorrow....I'm skeered...taking my kids who are getting an OV with balcony and my wife and I are getting a CP balcony....that's a lot of money even though I've seen the price go up and staterooms get gobbled up. I will have to re-price it often to feel like I got a deal... Jerel 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jticarruthers 847 Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 CP balcony booked (somehow the cheapest room on the ship) for now, will transfer to MEI once the group if formed but unless we see some price drops down the road I doubt I will make final payment, we shall see though.

Don't forget you only have 60 days from the time of booking to transfer. No harm in transferring early (plus one less thing to worry about). You can email [email protected] to have it taken care of.

WhiteSoxFan 220 Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Excited! I just booked. Ocean balcony on deck 11, port side just aft of the elevators. We've had a similar location (starboard) on the Alllure and love it. This is the second earliest I've ever booked a cruise. Only 617 days to go, lol. Jerel 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteSoxFan 220 Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 On another note, is it just me or are there ridiculously few cabins available for this Thanksgiving cruise? Not many balcony cabins of any type it seems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt 10,662 Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 On another note, is it just me or are there ridiculously few cabins available for this Thanksgiving cruise? Not many balcony cabins of any type it seems. It's the first full US sailing and it's over a holiday. On the flip side, I think a lot of people booked it just to have a placeholder. I suspect there will be some cancellations going forward, especially closer to final payment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cruising diva 20 Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 I booked Thanksgiving cruise through RCCL over the phone. Do I need to transfer it to MEI to take advantage of the blog group activities? If so, do I just call an MEI agent and explain the situation to them? Thanks!

Some of the events are exclusive to those who booked through MEI, so I'd recommend transferring your reservation over. Also, keep in mind that you only have 60 days from the date that you made the reservation to make the transfer. Matt previously suggested emailing [email protected] to arrange the transfer. cruising diva 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WAAAYTOOO 11,225 Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 I wonder if this has anything to do with their inventory control. They might be holding some inventory back since rooms are going so quickly for this sailing, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for your help. Welcome aboard the group and thank you for supporting our sponsor! I wonder if this has anything to do with their inventory control. They might be holding some inventory back since rooms are going so quickly for this sailing, I think part of what's happening is people placed holds without deposits and eventually, those holds disappear if a deposit is not made.

Sailor_to_Cruiser 123 Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 I broke down and booked the inaugural cruise on Symphony for 21 April 2018. Gotta fly to Barcelona for it but hey - It's a Cruise! When I try to go into the "My Cruises", Symphony isn't even listed so I cannot yet add my reservation to get a countdown. Google tells me that I have 404 days to wait. Excited is not the word for it. jopibaconpants and RestingBird 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
