The Vista trip starting 2024.12.27 changed from 12 nights to 7 nights. There is now a 5 day gap from 2025.01.03 to 01.08, presumably a charter. I really should make the original trip a new one with new fares, but I'm too lazy. trip=8689 Also updates: trips w/insert: 48, total inserts: 483, total sql...

Felix Unger Day Update: Crystal, status changes and one correction to a CPJR. Oceania, status changes only. Regent, several former Holy Land itinerary changes, plus these updates: trips w/insert: 46, total inserts: 329, total sql: 458. All those inserts (new fares) appear to be reversions to the pre...

There were a lot of them today, although Regent will call them "special offers," and they are for Cats H thru D only, I think. I'm just going to look at the counts, number of trips, by ship, for Cat E. Explorer: 15 Grandeur: 1 Mariner: 5 Navigator: 4 Splendor: 8 Voyager: 13 That's 46 trips...

Several fare changes today, but no real pattern to it. Most of them are fare increases, but I also did see one decrease on a CPJR.

There were no changes in the sweet spot, Aquamarine and Sapphire, which together account for the vast majority of cabins.

Crystal, status changes only. (trips w/insert: 0, total inserts: 0, total sql: 26) Symphony all wait lists down to zero, and no wait lists steady at 53. Serenity all wait lists down to one, and no wait lists steady at 36. Oceania, status changes only. (trips w/insert: 0, total inserts: 0, total sql:...

Status updates only today. (again)

Status updates only today.

I suppose this would be a good place to mention that I no longer use KLT, and have started using Pavlus. So far, so good. What soured me on KLT is that they asked me to return the cash back amount from a Covid cancelled cruise - canceled one day before we were to board. I thought that was fair, and ...

Now running version 3.3.10.

Many fare decreases for Marina, Riviera and Vista.

Today I noticed that some previously wait-listed categories are not even displayed on the Crystal web site for the holiday cruise. It's still 100% wait-listed for the four remaining categories. trip=8737 https://crystalcruises.com/cruises/none-cse-013-231223 Those fare show as "not found" ...

Up, up, up! Grandeur: trips w/insert: 65, total inserts: 871, total sql: 874. Splendor: rips w/insert: 48, total inserts: 541, total sql: 559. Explorer: trips w/insert: 57, total inserts: 625, total sql: 639. Voyager: trips w/insert: 36, total inserts: 368, total sql: 382. Mariner: trips w/insert: 3...

These are available today. I'm going to add them all to Roll Call today, but I'm going to wait until October 1 to add the fares.

A lot of status updates today, but also a change in this Riviera trip: . The trip was the last one currently available, and was shortened by one day, 20 to 19. So the fares decreased across the board. And I suppose this is an indication that they are about to release new itineraries.

Crystal slipped through the cracks, but has fares today.

The three Gaps (Serenity 2025.05.10 thru 06.06 and 2025.09.30 thru 10.14, and Symphony 2025.10-31 thru 11.23) are still not closed. Don't forget that it's easy to spot gaps in Roll Call; they are all denoted by a caret (^).

All itineraries for which there is a web site are now on Roll Call and Fare Compare. There are still two large gaps on Serenity and one small gap on Symphony. There were four ports that I added to the Roll Call database for the first time: Ijmuiden, Netherlands (09.21. turns out that is just Amsterd...

A lot of the web pages are now available. I only had time to go through Serenity, and there were several Gaps in it. I'll try to post the fares by the end of the day for whatever I did enter. My only observation for Serenity is that there are a lot of shorter 7 and 8 day itineraries. Symphony itiner...

Just status updates today dor Crystal and Regent. Notable that Crystal Serenity has its first Sapphire wait list, and Symphony has an Aquamarine wait-list! There are still 18 Serenity and 18 Symphony itineraries with no wait-lists at all. Oceania reversed some of the fare decreases from September 1.
