Price drop

[sciencemom45]

I know it is hard to predict, but does anyone know if prices generally drop in the spring - we are interested in a Med cruise in July. The price are much higher than last year.

When I booked our 2008 August Med cruise I saw a drop about one year prior and then it only went up.

 

The problem is, you can't get reasonable airfare last minute from U.S. so although I have seen some great last minute deals, they are more than offset by the airfare.

It's really hard to say. It all depends on how the cruise is selling. If it's selling good the price goes up. It's all supply and demand.

Book now if the price drops (except for Tuesday specials and Wow's) they will honor the lower price and if it goes up you are protected. If it drops after final payment then the you get OBC. My med cruise went down $540 per person in a D1.

TBScruiser, thanks for the heads-up. I didn't know about the OBC thing. I'll make sure to remember for our next cruise.

The OBC is a pretty recent policy and if you have any leftover OBC at the end of cruise it is fully refundable.

Cool, thanks again.

Does this mean that since I booked through the WOW sale in October, that if the price goes down I won't be honored the lower price before final payment and OBC after final payment?
