RUI now has 2010 available on their booking site

[Mrs D To Be!]

waw you ladies are soo lucky...hopefully mp will follow suit!

Surprisingly I got my approval of my submisson today! But the info that we have to fill out to get our date for sure asks what days we have booked and what TA we used. I haven't booked yet! My TA says that she has requested information and such but because it is still so far in advance there are no dates as of yet.

Are any of you running into the same problem?

OH my god, I got my approval today as well. I thought we had 3 months to confirm not 30 days. I am really confused on what to do. I had thought about just booking the room and hopefully cancelling it after making a group booking in the future when the prices came out. I am not sure what to do. I do work for a travel agency but only part time and very new to the industry I am going to run it by my boss and see what her suggestion is. I am afraid of booking the room now then when the rates come out rebooking with group rate then cancelling that original room I would be afriad of losing the wedding time and date. OH boy got to do some searching!

 

Let me know what information you have come up with!

Ok I just went on the RUI booking site for rooms and the dates I want aren't even available for me to book yet! I guess sometime during the week I may have to try to call RUI weddings and see what they suggest I do since RUI has not even released the prices for DEC 2010.

 

Lets keep each other posted on any ideas etc

So I went back onto the ROR room reservation site and played around until I could actually book a room. I wanted to know what type of deposit would be required this is what I have copied from their site

 

GUARANTEE OF RESERVATION. The credit card number is needed only to hold your reservation. You will pay at the hotel directly upon check in. In case of no show the date of your arrival a charge of one night will be processed on your credit card.The same amount will be charged if the reservation is not cancelled 2 days prior to the date of arrival.

 

So taking that into consideration. I would think we could just book a room only on their site and then when the TA can get the group rates in a few months then we could just go in and cancel that room and let the wedding co-ordinator or who ever we are suppose to be dealing with that the reservation has been changed. I plan on booking just a standard room, but then when the time comes book the Jr Suite. I still plan on phoning the reservation number sometime next week.

 

The stress begins lol

So ladies,

I have emailed the lady that sends us the confirmation codes and such and explained to her the situation. She has extended mine until April instead of the 30 days alloted for most. So we're good for a little bit!

[sunstarsmoon]

Great idea I was going to phone her and explain the situation so I guess I will send her an email as well.

Hello all,

 

I submitted my request last Friday for Feb 2010 and am just waiting to hear back. I have already booked my wedding party in (from the UK). We will be staying for 2 weeks apart from myself and fiance who will be staying for 3 weeks. Really hope I get my confirmation back soon and hope that you do not lose your dates before you manage to book for your wedding party.

That's weird!!!! I am planning on going to Riu Los Cabos and that is the only one that doesn't have 2010 prices listed! Crazy huh?

[sunstarsmoon]

YoungLove, take that as a blessing since the package prices for hotel and flight aren't even out yet.

 

I did email the girl at Rui and they have also extended my deadline until April 13/09. So I guess I will just wait and see what happens closer to that date and see if the prices come out for the hotel room.
