Summer of 2012 in Cozumel

We're going to need a 2 bedroom in Cozumel for summer of 2012. I only see up to Dec. 2011 in RCI. Does anyone know when summer of 2012 is likely to show? Should I put in a request or do they bulk deposit?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

It depends upon which resort you want. They could show up at any time. As soon as your plans are firm, why don't you put in an ongoing search so that you'll be positioned to catch the deposits as they come in?

Judy, I tried. One out of five took and the rest said invalid codes. I sent an email to RCI to see why.

The invalid ones do come up for me at other times so I know I have enough power to pull them.

Any ideas?

Anne,
You can put in your ongoing search to be first in line, but you may still be too early for some of the resorts.

If the resorts are floating week resorts, an owner would not even be able to reserve a summer 2012 week until 12 months earlier -- meaning summer of 2011. Only fixed week owners are able to deposit 2 years out. Plus, many Mexican resorts will not let you deposit that use year until you have paid the maintenance fee on it. That would mean the depositer would have to already prepaid this years maintenance fees, next years maintenance fees (2011), plus the year after (2012). Prepaying maintenance fees can get messy because the dollar amount changes every year.

If you have a particular Cozumel resort that you prefer, you may want to look at one of the resale sites and find out if their weeks are fixed or floating. Usually fixed weeks are for the highest demand times, which for Cozumel should be December 15 through the end of April. So, I doubt you will have much trouble getting a summer week. I've even gotten Easter week at Coral Princess fairly easily a couple of years ago.

I recently had a similar experience and called the RCI tech support. The lady there said to list the codes with a comma between each one and no spaces. Even though the example shows a space after each comma, she said not to put in the spaces.

When I re-did my list, all the codes were accepted as valid.

Thanks Renee & Karen.
