Black friday sale / cyber monday sale does not look good

Another site that I frequent posted what the upcoming sale will be. They have always been accurate in the past. And it looks like the sale will be just a bit extra onboard credit. Staring at $50 for an inside on a short cruise. Upto $400 with a deluxe room on a 6+ night, nonrefundable cruise booked 6+ months in advanced. Not great.

Book when you like the price.

Don't when you don't.

Disappointing. I hope they have some drink package/excursion/dining deals.

It's just another "sale", there is one every day 365/year. No reason to think it would be any different than any other.

Some pricing offers will help Person A. Some will appeal to Person B. Et cetera.

Thanks what I am hoping for too. I'm headed to Alaska in 2018 and they never seem to have deals on drink packages or wifi.

I'm sailing Oasis 12/17 and haven't bought any drink packages or excursions in hopes that there might be a Black Friday sale. Fingers crossed.

I've been shopping pretty hard the last week for a cruise this summer. I've looked at all the lines really hard and none seem to be doing anything crazy good.

NCL has some good deals on the 5 free offers but in all reality they are a little higher on the front end anyway to make up for it.

RCCL seems to stick with the second guest half off and kids free, but none of the sailings I want are kids free and they inflate the cost so the second guest isn't really half off.

Carnival lowered some deposits, but nothing to make me book asap.

It's all marketing and right now the economy is pretty strong so it cost what it cost.

What I want to do and what I can afford to do are two different things, so we are finding a happy medium.

Yes, it's accurate, confirmed a couple days ago by Royal http://creative.rccl.com/Sales/Royal/Promotions/17059435_Cyber_Weekend_Sale_Consumer_Flyer

Cruise sales are always pretty much the same like Merion Mom says, book when you like the price don't when you don't. What would be worth watching for are cruise planner sales on beverage packages, internet, excursions, etc.

Have you seen the monthly (or more often) sales that have been occurring? I am surprised that your cruise wasn't on one or all of them.

Seems like the pre-paid grats, specialty dining, drink packages, trip insurance, and OBC come from the TA and not the cruise line. Usually book through Royal when they offer something special and then switch over to our online TA to pick up the good perks and added OBC.

If this is so, it would be truly amazing and I’d be so thankful.

A TA shared it with me. I’ll have to see the numbers they start with to know how good it is. I know that the Voom plus Coke May be cheaper and it reads Voom plus stream. I hope the photo package is on sale. I’ll buy it for one of our cruises.

The drink package on hots for oct 20/18 finally went down to 43/day. I grabbed that. Also saw the refreshment package was 18/day instead of 28/day :)
