141 trips all wait-listed no wait-lists Serenity 1 32 Symphony 1 49 The one Serenity AWL will drop off next update because it sails today! The one Symphony AWL is this one: trip=8780 . It's surprising to me because it's so ordinary - 7 nights, Lisbon to Barcelona, May 20, 2024. I wonder if it's par...

Just reported on CFC, Serenity is sailing with 350 passengers on board, roughly 50% of capacity, which is 740 passengers. Now here is the Dollar View with extended status option*: Dollar View There are three wait-listed categories out of seven. I would expect SGR and DGR to be wait-list since there ...

The two Panama Canal cruises discussed above have been replaced by three 7-day itineraries. They are locked and loaded into both Roll Call and Fare Compare. trip=9146 , trip=9147 , trip=9148 And then I changed some Serenity ports from Miami to Ft Lauderdale. The two New York round-trip itineraries i...

... Interesting that these two 2924 Panama Canal trips (FLL to Caldera, Costa Rica, and back) are suddenly 100% wait-listed: trip=8767 , trip=8768 . Interesting about these two are that someone on CFC just reported that their cruise, the first one above, was cancelled. Presumably the second one was...

So c.c. cheeseball was officially banned this morning. I was surveying some characters who might comment on that, and I noticed that pickleball dRabbit was also visited by Host Hattie today, and he was also banned. So now I have to sort through the remaining 200+ characters and see who else Host Hat...

Yesterday, fares increased on 126 trips (out of 140* total). This is on top of the increases from the first week of December on 19 trips in 2024, and in the 4-5% range for a DGRV. So those trips have now increased about 8.5 to 9.5% from their original fares. And then the new increases affect all 20...

Crystal: trips w/insert: 126, total inserts: 948, total sql: 949.

Now increases everywhere, including 2025.

Crystal: trips w/insert: 6, total inserts: 45, total sql: 56.

The six trips are all increases.

Crystal: trips w/insert: 0, total inserts: 0, total sql: 38. Interesting that these two 2924 Panama Canal trips (FLL to Caldera, Costa Rica, and back) are suddenly 100% wait-listed: trip=8767 , trip=8768 . Oceania: trips w/insert: 2, total inserts: 34, total sql: 182. Several new itineraries to avoi...

Crystal: trips w/insert: 26, total inserts: 199, total sql: 204. The 26 trips with fare changes are all increases for 2024. They must be feeling pretty confident, although there is still plenty of availability. (32 trips with no wait lists for Serenity and 49 for Symphony.) Oceania had three new iti...

Crystal: trips w/insert: 7, total inserts: 51, total sql: 66. The seven trips with new fares were all increases, and appear to be on itineraries that were already mostly wait-listed. So I would describe this as Crystal padding their stats. There are still 33 trips on Serenity with no wait lists at a...

Only status updates today.

Next update will be Friday, December 1. You better watch out!

, , and itinerary changes to remove stops in Israel.

Also updates: trips w/insert: 75, total inserts: 544, total sql: 756.

I suspect these might also be Black Friday Deals.

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)
