april 2021 updates

Post: # 3062Post drib »

The early returns show both Regent and Oceania with their usual $100, $200 ... increases. Although I already wrote off their July cruises, I visually saw that those also had the increases. I'm going to leave those as cancelled in my system, though.

Crystal is also still running, but I don't see any fare changes about half-way through.

Elsewhere, I was surprised to see that someone purchased dribcritic.com! I did not renew it back in October last year - there was some grace period following that - and then it looks like a Chinese gambling concern bought it in January. If you click on dribcritic.com, you will be redirected to the actual gambling site (with pretty girl agents!).

Now, why would anyone purchase dribcritic.com? Could it be that they thought they would get thousands of redirects? Or ... could the new owners be related to Crystal Cruises, and they want to prevent the original owner from using that domain sometime in the future?

======
Oceania:
trips w/insert: 39, total inserts: 647, total sql: 705, errors: 0

Regent:
trips w/insert: 229, total inserts: 2962, total sql: 2980, errors: 0

Crystal:

Five Reykjavik ten night cruises, from July 17, 2021 through September 5, added.

$1400 per night, per person, for an S7 (presumably) and there's only one of those cabins! It's a bargain, though, because this same itinerary is scheduled in July and August 2022 for $1500 per night, per person.

This creates a ten day gap from September 5, Reykjavik, to September 15, Tromso.

Added new trips for Antiqua, round-trip, from August 5, 2021 through January 2, 2022. I'll run a fare compare update when those web pages are available.

Not that there is no way that Symphony can get from Antiqua to Melbourne, Australia in time to continue its schedule in 2202!

Formerly a 21 day gap, there are now two new itineraries in April 2022:



They also moved around some itineraries in November 2022 - there's a new gap, and the transatlantic (which I made a new itinerary) is a week or so later than before.

They stopped redirection. Are they now embarrassed by what they did?

I will have to see when the domain is up for renewal again in January 2022.
