Oasis/Allure of the Seas 1-Day Sale!

Oasis is here! She's arrived at her home port in Ft. Lauderdale, and the first of the preview sailings begin on November 19. This ship will change the face of cruising, and whether you're a large ship fan or small ship lover, if you love cruising, you'll want to know what this means to you, because everyone WILL be talking about her... they already are.

On November 20, be sure to watch Good Morning America, which will be broadcasting LIVE from the ship! Like what you see? Royal Caribbean is so sure you will that they're holding a One Day Sale on November 20 for December, 2009 sailings on the Oasis of the Seas or any Allure of the Seas sailings! Get terrific fares PLUS up to $200/cabin onboard credits!

I'll be boarding the Oasis of the Seas on November 20 for 4 days, and of course reporting LIVE via blog and Twitter (including pictures!) at www.twitter.com/cruiseresource. Want to book during the one day sale? You bet I can take care of it even from the Oasis on the 20th (or before I board while watching her from my hotel in Ft. Lauderdale). Have a question about the ship? Email me at amber@cruiseresource.com and I'll get you the answer live (plus book you the cabin you want). How cool is that?

For more details on the one day sale, go to the flyer at Oasis/Allure November 20 One Day Sale.

Be sure to email or tweet me while I'm onboard November 20-24. I'm your eyes and ears and onboard reporter. Expect my full review here as well, parts of it coming while I'm still onboard. You know it will make for a nice, long read.

Royal Caribbean Keeps Bringing the WOW... Sale!

If it's October, there must be a WOW sale coming up, and once again Royal Caribbean doesn't disappoint. On October 6 and 7, the fall, 2009 WOW sale will do its best to get you on a cruise!

For those unfamiliar with these sales, the essence is that if you book during the sale, you get a 50% reduced deposit and onboard credits up to $200/cabin. This is for new bookings only, for almost all cruises sailing from December 1 forward, and is not combinable with any other promotion, such as Crown & Anchor balcony/suite discounts or shareholder credits. While I used to be able to sneak these WOW bookings in and still get the benefits combined, unfortunately they've cracked down and catch the attempts.

However, if you're not eligible for the Crown & Anchor Platinum or Diamond discounts, and aren't a shareholder, this is a great opportunity. Prices are terrific now through 2010, even on the Oasis. Yup, I said Oasis! This is the first WOW sale which includes the Oasis, though dates between January 1 and March 31, 2010 are excluded. But there are some fabulous prices for next summer on the Oasis.

All the details, terms and conditions can be found at Royal Caribbean WOW Sale!

I will be away from my office at my National Conference during this sale. But as in past Octobers when the WOW has fallen during my conference, I will be working from the ship, by laptop and Blackberry. Best bet is to email me in advance so I can research your options with regard to pricing (which shouldn't be affected by the promotion), and cabin choices. Then I can get you booked as soon as the sale goes into effect. You can also contact my covering agents who would be happy to take care of a new booking for you until I return. Just call my voice mail at 303-690-8937 or toll-free at 888-SAIL-123 (888-724-5123) or email me to get their contact information.

With the reduced deposits, which of course are fully refundable until final payment date, and onboard credits, if you're looking at a sailing after December 1, then this is your chance! What are you waiting for? As Royal Caribbean would say, "Why Not" go for the WOW?

Crystal Cruises Offers 2 for 1 Fares and More for all 2009/2010 Sailings!

Crystal is a true luxury line, perfect for those who like the traditional style of cruising pared with exceptional service and amenities.

Is it time you started looking at luxury lines? Take advantage of the extraordinary savings you can experience now on Crystal or other lines and see what you may have been missing! Luxury cruising IS worth it and an amazing value, especially now. Call or email me to explore your options.

Regent to Offer Free Shore Excursions and More!

Regent Seven Seas Cruises, a relaxed but elegant luxury line, has just announced a new promotion for new bookings through March 31: Free Excursions during select 2009 cruises! This is part of their new “ultra-inclusive” cruise pricing initiative. For a limited time, guests on select 2009 voyages can choose from a selection of complimentary shore excursions, a value of up to several hundred dollars per guest.

Simply book by March 31, 2009 and they will include unlimited access to complimentary, award-winning shore excursions during your voyage. This is in addition to the all-inclusive cruise experience (which is already one of the best true luxury deals around, as they include alcohol at lunch and dinner, a free bar set up in cabin, soft drinks and bottled water, and gratuities in the regular fare).

This offer is in addition and combinable with the current 2-for-1 and free air offers!

“We are delighted to be able to offer our valued guests even greater value with a Regent experience that now encompasses both the ship and the destination,” said Mark Conroy, president of Regent Seven Seas Cruises. “At a time when travelers are seeking greater value and unique vacation opportunities, we offer a spectacular array of voyages that offer more value and more luxury than ever before.”

With offers of free airfare, cruise fares that begin at $3,995 and free unlimited shore excursions, the company expects that these voyages will be in great demand. On each of the select cruises, guests can participate in at least one complimentary shore excursion in each port where excursions are offered. These excursions are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to availability. Guests with deposited reservations can pre-request their excursions online starting 120 days in advance of their sailing date. In addition to the free excursions, there will be a number of Regent Choice excursions that will require payment of a supplement.

In addition, for first-time Regent cruisers, there is a $500/cabin onboard credit! Though in all honesty, I can't imagine having a $500 shipboard bill when excursions are free!

The applicable sailings are:

Alaska on the Seven Seas Mariner: June 3, June 10, June 24, July 1, July 8, July 15, August 26, September 2. Complimentary tours include a native canoe adventure or an adventure hike to Mendenhall Glacier from Juneau; a zipline tour or a ride on the White Pass Scenic Railroad in Skagway; a sea otter and wildlife quest in Sitka.

Europe and the Baltic on the Seven Seas Voyager: June 26, July 24, July 31, August 7, August 14, August 21, August 28, September 25. Complimentary shore excursions in the Baltic include an evening at the ballet, a visit to Hermitage museum, or a tour of Peterhof Palace in St. Petersburg, Russia; a walking tour and concert or a countryside fishing and lunch tour in Tallinn, Estonia; and a city tour by sea and visit to Fortress Island, or a sailing tour in Helsinki, Finland.

Tropics on the Seven Seas Navigator: December 18 where you can experience an off-road adventure in Bora Bora.

Alas, my favorite ship in the world, Paul Gauguin, is not included in this offer, but there are other offers which apply to her as well.

If you're interested in learning more about any of these sailings, feel free to email at amber@cruiseresource.com!

Part 2 - Norwegian Freestyle Resolution Savings Event - Reduced Deposits!

Beginning today, Sunday January 11, and running through Saturday, January 17, NCL is offering reduced deposits for new bookings! This is in addition to the previously-announced Freestyle resolution Savings Event offers of onboard credits for all new bookings!

The 50 percent reduced deposit offer makes a cruise deposit on a three to five day sailing just $50; cruises from six to nine days can be held for $125 and guests booking cruises of ten days or more pay a $200 deposit, down from $400.

“We understand that everyone needs a break from these turbulent times and cruising offers incredible value for today’s consumer,” said Kevin Sheehan, NCL’s president and CEO. “These offers, with as little as a $50 deposit and up to $500 in on-board credit, make it the perfect time to book a Freestyle Cruising summer vacation to explore Alaska, relax in Bermuda or take the kids on a vacation of a lifetime to uncover the rich history of Europe.”

In mid-December, NCL kicked off its Freestyle Resolution Sales Event where guests who make a reservation from now through February 1, 2009 on any NCL sailing are given up to a $500 on-board credit. The amount of the on-board credit varies depending on the length of cruise and category of stateroom booked. For example, on sailings of six days or longer, the on-board credit ranges from $50 for an inside stateroom; $100 for an oceanview; $150 for a balcony and $500 for a suite or villa. For three to five day sailings, the on-board credit ranges from $30 for an inside stateroom up to $150 for a suite or villa.

The reduced deposit offer is applicable for Inside, Oceanview, Balcony, Mini-Suite, Penthouse and Romance Suites. Unfortunately, it does not apply to Garden Villas, Courtyard Villas and Owner's Suites.

Royal Caribbean, Celebrity & Azamara Want YOU!

In an unusual move, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Azamara are giving you advance notice of their "wave" season offers for cruises booked in January and February. They're calling this the ASAP Promotion - Amazing Ships, Amazing Perks!

First up is from Royal Caribbean. They're offering 50% reduced deposit AND onboard credits between $50-200/cabin on a huge number of 2009 and even 2010 sailings. You can find all the details at RCCL ASAP Sale.

Celebrity and Azamara are on the ASAP bandwagon too! Both are also offering 50% reduced deposit and up to $200/cabin onboard credit. Azamara sweetens it even further by including pre-paid gratuities, too! Below are the specific flyers for Celebrity and Azamara:

Celebrity ASAP Sale

Azamara ASAP Sale

A few interesting idiosyncrasies to take note of: the onboard credit (and pre-paid gratuity) offers must be booked between January 5 and January 19, 2009. However, all bookings January 1 through February 28 are eligible for the reduced deposits. So if the sailing you're looking at is on the flyer for onboard credits, best to book between January 5-19. If it's not, you can still get the reduced deposit by booking as early as January 1.

Finally... been thinking of getting a group together for a family get-away, work retreat, or other social or religious organization gathering? All three lines are offering easier access to free berths for the organizer or to share among all participants. Call me for details!

Deadline for Submitting Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Azamara Shareholder Statements

Royal Caribbean International has recently changed their rules for shareholder benefits. If you are a shareholder and currently booked for 2009 and 2010, or thinking of booking one of their brands (Royal Caribbean, Celebrity or Azamara), this affects you.

As of January 1, 2009, shareholder onboard credits will no longer be able to be combined with other onboard credits, such as those you receive for booking onboard, credits I may offer as part of a group, or other special sales promotions or onboard benefits. This is a major change in their program, and important enough I thought you should know.

If you are a shareholder, and you are already booked for 2009 or 2010, you MUST send in your proof of shareholder ownership information and have it applied to your booking(s) prior to December 31. That doesn't mean send it in on December 31 - it actually has to be on your booking by that date. If you do that, your credits WILL still be combinable. After that date, you get one onboard benefit, that's it.

If you are a shareholder and are considering booking for 2009 or 2010, using an onboard open booking (such as a RCCL NEXT booking or Celebrity Passages booking), in order to receive both the onboard credit and the shareholder onboard credit benefit, you MUST book by December 31, 2008 and have the shareholder benefit applied by that date. Again, that doesn't mean you can wait until December 31 to book and send in your verification - it all must be complete and on your booking by 12/31.

I am going through my clients and for those for whom I have current shareholder statements, I'm proactively sending them in for you. However, if you do have a 2009 or 2010 booking through me, please also email me at amber@cruiseresource.com to ensure that I have you taken care of.

If you're booked through me, but usually take care of your own shareholder verification, either send that in for your future bookings immediately, or forward the proof of ownership to me (as an email attachment), and I'll submit it on your behalf.

There are still people at RCI who are fighting to reinstate the combinability, but in the current economic situation, they're fighting an uphill battle. Hopefully at some time in the future, they'll be successful, and it will again be combinable. In the meantime, at least they got us the reprieve until December 31 so we can still submit for your current bookings.

Please call or email with any questions you have and let me know how I can be of assistance, either with submitting for your current bookings, or making a new one for you in time.

And if you're wondering what in the world I'm talking about, shareholders of at least 100 shares of Royal Caribbean International or Carnival Corporation stock are entitled to onboard credits on every cruise. It's an often-overlooked benefit to stock ownership, and a good option for frequent cruisers to pursue. If you'd like more information on these benefits, email or call and I'll be happy to explain the programs.

Celebrity Passages Booking - Special Offer!

As I mentioned in a previous post, those booking a Celebrity cruise with me prior to December 1 (including the post-Thanksgiving Happy Hours) may be eligible for an onboard credit. It turns out I can extend that further!

I have available to me the ability to create a Celebrity Passages open booking for you, just like you were booking onboard! For a $100/person deposit, you will be eligible for an onboard credit on your next booking! The credit varies by the cost of your cruise. This is the exact program offered onboard the Celebrity/Azamara ships, and is extended to me because of our recent Celebrity Solstice Charter.

You MUST book this with me by 5P Eastern on Monday, December 1, 2008 to be eligible, and it can be an open booking with no specific future sailing identified.

Call me this weekend or on Monday for details and to take advantage of this terrific offer! If you've been considering Celebrity, but don't yet know what you want to book, this offer is perfect for you!

Royal Caribbean's "You Pick the Offer" Special

As part of the 2nd Annual First Time Cruisers Month, and commemorating their 38th anniversary, Royal Caribbean is offering a 2-day "You Pick the Offer" special! Applicable for all new oceanview or higher bookings of a 3- or 4-night Caribbean cruise booked on Thursday, November 7 or Friday, November 8, you get to choose between a $75/cabin savings or a $75/cabin onboard credit!

So, do you want to save up front, or do you want more spending cash onboard? You decide! All you have to do is call and book.
