Oceania: trips w/insert: 8, total inserts: 61, total sql: 183.

Assorted fare increases.


Regent: trips w/insert: 3. total inserts: 39, total sql: 221.

Three new fares for new itineraries on Mariner.

I added new world cruise segments to Roll Call. They won't show up on Fare Compare because there is no fare data.

Symphony is still going through the Red Sea, and I image that buying that ship on the cheap has something to do with it.

Navigator cancelled: trip=8172 , trip=8604 . Grandeur not available: trip=8951 . Grandeur one day shorter with several changed ports: trip=8919 . (Siena is new to Roll Call, as well, and Regent spells it with two n's.) Regent: trips w/insert: 1, total inserts: 14, total sql: 256. The trip with the n...

May 14, 2024, Riviera Red Sea cruise, , is cancelled, but no replacement itineraries have been put online yet.

Oceania: trips w/insert: 10, total inserts: 74, total sql: 185.

The ten trips with new fares are, I think, unrelated to the ones that were changed in January.

To avoid the Red Sea, Mariner will hang a left at Abu Dhabi, run around Africa to Lisbon, and then sail to New York City to hook up with the next existing itinerary on June 2.

New itineraries: , , .

New fares will probably be available by Monday.

It looks to me like the newly designed Crystal web site is showing the fares (and wait-list status) using asynchronous processing. Maybe they did this to facilitate showing both double and solo fares, or maybe they did it to slow me down - which it will definitely do - I can't use the existing progr...

This morning, it appears that we lost these two CFC characters:

Farrago Peach Fuzz

McCheese Off. Tester

I'll do a full inventory later today - a good rainy day activity anyway.

Fares for 2024 just took a flying leap of roughly 3% to 5% across the board.

Crystal: trips w/insert: 0, total inserts: 0, total sql: 30. It's not surprising, given world events, that a lot of categories went from wait-list to available.

Regent: trips w/insert: 0, total inserts: 0, total sql: 190. Something peculiar going on with Voyager in 2026. This web page says the voyage is from is from Cape Town to At Sea! https://www.rssc.com/cruises/VOY260228A/summary These trips are new: trip=8949 , trip=9149 ====== Oceania: trips w/insert:...

trip=9046 , trip=9145 These are the New York City round-trips that I originally set up in December based on a CFC comment. I took them down, and now it turns out that the commenter was correct. $757 per day for a DGR seems a little steep compared to the subsequent St Lawrence River cruises. It kind...
