Website updated and rooms disappeared

[brookew]

I have been watching the rooms and rates for 2017 over the last few days. I booked a 7a deluxe oceanview with navigator verandah. Now that option is gone. I noticed they updated their website right before this happened. The website was down for maintenance. I thought maybe they sold out, but I checked cruises all the way through Dec and can't find that option.
Anyone know what's going on?

Also, I've been told that on a few ships, this is actually an enclosed balcony with a porthole, but the dream is all balconies? True?

Rooms come and go all the time. Don't know why.

On the Dream and Fantasy, the navigator verandahs have just a slight obstruction. On the Magic and Wonder, it is a balcony that is enclosed except for a porthole opening.

I'm not sure why the room type would disappear on so many cruises, but there are just a limited number of these rooms available and they do get booked quickly.

The navigator's verandah on the Magic class is an enclosed balcony with a large open porthole:


While on the Dream class, it just means that the verandah has an obstruction from the ship's superstructure:

That category could be sold out. The Category 7A are some of the first to go because they are priced reasonably but you still get a verandah/fresh air.

We love the ones on the classic ships because to us they are full verandahs -- the slight "obstruction" is a non problem to us.

I would think it's unusual for an entire category to be sold out for all cruises in an entire year.

I would recommend basic internet maintenance (clear your history and cache) and then look again. Or, try another browser option.

If there are still no 7As from now until December 2017, then I would contact DCL - it could be a very serious website glitch.

Try changing the number of people when you search. I'm finding lots of 7A availability for a party of two across all four ships.
