Cabin-boy Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I believe they typically release them in mid- or late-July for the following season but maybe someone has heard of an exact date. As I think all the scrubber installations are now complete the timetable for the winter should be less disrupted than in the last couple of years but there may still be gaps due to routine maintenance and refits.

Gareth Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Yes, Normandie at least will be due for a full refit at some stage over the winter (probably after Christmas I would think). Bretagne will surely need a bit of attention too at some stage? Link to post Share on other sites
hf_uk Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I think it is usually the first week of July...or thereabouts. Link to post Share on other sites
Cabin-boy Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Yes that is confirmed on another new thread with a quote from the company magazine. The MD days they are bringing forward the on-sale date to early July this year allowing people to book up to 15 months in advance. Ed. Link to post Share on other sites
TeeMyob Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 Thanks Folks, I have had an email from BF to say Early July. Eager and can;t wait! Link to post Share on other sites
sazzleevans Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Thanks Folks, I have had an email from BF to say Early July. Eager and can;t wait! You can register in advance so you get get a better chance of getting the cabin you want!! This is pre release! Link to post Share on other sites
sazzleevans Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Just had my 2017 booking confirmation as i advance registered so all done 8410!! Link to post Share on other sites
Gareth Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I'm in 8410 week after next. Good choice. Link to post Share on other sites
Cabin-boy Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I assume you are both talking about cabin 8410 on Pont Aven. It does seem to be marginally larger on the deck plan than its neighbours, like 8401 on the other side, and with a bigger balcony. Am I missing something? Is it used as some sort of show cabin and BFE members get given it as privileged customers? I was down in 5323 last year on my promotional trip and I can't say I was very impressed, but I had 8217 on Armorique the day before and thought it was excellent. Both were basic rate cabins as we only wanted to spend 7 hours sleeping in them and noticed the disparity in tems of space, comfort and style immediately the door was closed.

Gareth Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 No, that's it Ed. 8401 and 8410 have balconies about 4 times the size of the other Commodores. Unquestionably the best 2 cabins in the BF fleet. Link to post Share on other sites
Cabin-boy Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 So I assume you are off to Spain on her in that case and hoping to sit out in the sun. That cabin will be facing west for most of the crossing so are you getting 8401 on the way back for the same reasons, POSH-style? Ed Link to post Share on other sites
sazzleevans Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I'm in 8410 week after next. Good choice. Yep, this is the third year with 8410.The kids love it. We had to change the return date so I havent got it back but got it both ways for next year. We go the end of July 8410 maybe can leave notes lol Link to post Share on other sites

Ed They are commodore cabins and the same price as the other commodore cabins but like Gareth said they are massive balconies. I have 3 kids and they love to sit outside and draw and watch the sea. It is a life saver and saves me running around the ship entertaining them the whole journey. You can advance register for cabins before they are released. Link to post Share on other sites

Ed When on the Pont Aven take a look at the balconies and you can see the difference. I think everyone agrees that the cabins on the Arm are the best thing about her, most times I sleep better on her than the Pont. Link to post Share on other sites
