Guess I got lucky. Purchased $1500 on Paradise Wednesday to pay off the anniversary presents that I purchased from Effy. Really thought I had enough but the guy behind the counter was really good, and I managed to get a Tissot threw in for myself.
I can see flights getting overbooked, but how does a cruise get overbooked unless everybody was booking guarantee rooms and they room out of that catagory?
I would suggest using a PVP to help find the perfect balcony for you taste. All balconies are not created equally. A PVP can help by telling you what is above and below and what your view would be.
