Do sold out cruises often open up again?

Question

I'm planning a cruise with someone who has a certificate on HAL that needs to be used by the 11th of November.

She gave me 2 cruise dates to choose from - 3rd or the 10th. I originally told her the 10th because airfare was cheaper. I totally forgot that I have $700 worth of tickets to see the Police! Anyway, the 10th was sold out so we decided on the 3rd.

I had to transfer money to her as she was paying with the certificate (I still am getting off cheaper than regular ropcie or single supplement). While that transfer was going on, the 3rd sold out but the 10th released some cabins.

So should I just go for the 10th and try and sell my concert tickets? Or should I wait and see if the other cruise opens up so I don't have to potentially "eat" the price of the concert tix? I don't want to s***w us out of both cruises.

Answer 1

i would try to sell my concert tickets.

once the cruise is sold out, not likely you will find space available.

have a wonderful time.

Answer 2

I would not wait for that cruise to open up.

Once they are booked up, then that's that!.

Most people don't cancel unless they have emergency's.

I would tried to sell my concert tickets!

You will have more fun on a cruise than at that concert, I promise you that!

Answer 3

Good chance something will open up again - I'd wait.

Answer 4

I am a bit confused, because we are so close to

the sailing time that you are within penalty.

I don't think the cruise lines will allow you to jump from ship to ship without penalties.
