Based on what I've observed, Jacki will free you up to post more on the message boards, buy new camera lenses and come up with new nicknames for @Lovetocruise2002 JLMoran, Jacki_MEI, Lovetocruise2002 and 5 others 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovetocruise2002 Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Anyone have any luck today with getting a good re-price? Nothing for me...all my sailings either went up or stayed the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing for me...all my sailings either went up or stayed the same. Price for Anthem to Bermuda in October went down from the prior "sale" prices ever so slightly, but still a few hundred higher than my current booking with lower OBC. So unless Heather finds a better rate than the web site is showing, a la @twangster's TA, I'll be sitting pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I booked the Grandeur for April 2020 with MEI, wanted to get to Charleston, Cape and the infamous Coco Cay without flying as we will be on the Edge in January. Adventure I checked, I booked that so early with a great sale, I don't think anything can beat it.

Todd W Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 glad you guys are having luck. i can't even get past the 2nd passenger portion of the website. Keeps wanting me to enter in my wife's CnA number, which she has. Even though it says not required, when left blank, i can't move past this screen. I don't know her number (never had a need for it since bookings are always linked to mine) and RC system won't pull it up when i try "i forgot". yet one more issue in their joke of a website lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Crush Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 No dice for my October 2018 cruise. Total price is several hundred dollars higher. I think I'm about as low as I'm going to get, but of course I will still check obsessively until October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait until you see the way they "present" to you, the Space Shuttle Atlantis ......
