Cruiselover Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Hi fellow cruisers! Just wondering if anyone can give me some advice on waiting lists for Suites.....do you find that there are many/any cancellations in the lead up to a cruise, say within the last 3 or 4 months?? I would love an Owners Suite and am on a waiting list but I'm wondering whether I will actually get one.....any tips you can share would be greatly appreciated!

Matt Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 I'd say it's worth trying. One of two things could happen..... 1. Someone will cancel randomly 2. Someone will cancel when final payment is due #2 is most likely to happen but I'd be on the wait list if you really want that sailing.

Given that there's no penalty for canceling prior to final payment, there's always a chance that someone will cancel as they may be holding multiple reservations waiting to decide which one will be best for them (e.g., airfare costs).

Cruiselover Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Thank you very much for the replies....I have been placed on a waiting list but I'm also keeping an eye on prices and other cabin availabilities. How do I found out when the final payment date is though, so that I can watch out for these cancellations?? It's a New Year's cruise so that may minimise the number of cancellations too....? Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again! I am also going on a New Years Cruise and my final payment date is 9/29 which is in two weeks. Yours is probably around there as well.

Final payment date is 90 days before your sail date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelle Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Yep- AND be very specific - sometimes you just want a Owners Suite but I would list other suites if the ship has them as well or say ANY and ALL suites if the cruise line let's you. Then if a Grand Suite pops up you might just take that if the owner's does not materialize and YES people cancel all the time and there is often good luck in getting suites on a waitlist (depending on your number on waitlist) Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelle Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Final payments are listed on your confirmations from RCI in the middle left side of page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
