Last June, I booked an Alaskan cruise on the Encore for August 21, 2022. I have constantly checked for price drops. I started at $5060 for a BB on deck 10. Five price drops later, and now two days before final payment is due, my price for the same balcony stateroom is $2927. I encourage everyone to periodically check for drops, or check virtually every day like I do!😀
