Impulse Booking

[izzypooch]

Just happened to be surfing the Royal website....and just happened to notice that a JS on a 3-day Monarch sailing on 11-19 was only $329.00 per person....(senior rate) so I asked the hubby if he wanted to do something last minute...and next thing I know, we're booked! Our main incentive was double credits towards Diamond status and, of course, casino fun and Cocoa Cay are always nice. We're retired and Florida residents -- just an hour and a half away from the port -- so Monarch here we come!

What a nice thing to do before the craziness of the holidays hits!

 

Have a great time!

Sounds great!! We did an impulse booking too a couple of weeks ago. Airfare from Detroit to Orlando (Spirit) was $29 so we jumped on it, then I said "hey, do you wanna find a cheap cruise too?" so we did! We'll be on the Monarch too, in January!! :)

Oh, yes!! I agree!! DH and I will be semi-retired in a couple of years and plan to start spending a month or two in Florida during the winters so I'm sure we'll start taking more cruises then. That's one good thing about getting older, more cruises!!

Oh, to be retired and living in Florida. I just wished I lived in Florida!! Must be great to book last minute trips so close to home. Have fun, and enjoy yourself, or just kick back and relax.

That's a great price! I wish the Majesty prices for the same weekend would come down so I could upgrade!

[Cheerysmom]

Wow - you made me look . .. and you are right . .. great prices for that weekend. AND Spirit Air just announced a sale on those dates . .. $9 each way on Friday and Monday. I am soooooo tempted . .. ...

 

You are very bad for bringing this to my attention. ;)

That's nice last minute for ya... I need a reason to be in FL for a couple weeks in December to pull that off early in the month...3 credits for D and D+ members then... :D I'm keeping an eye out for a weekend with DW on Monarch or Majesty in early December if a great deal comes along.

JMO, of course, but I would NEVER sail Spirit on the embarkation day of a cruise! :eek: :eek: :eek:

May 2009 I was at work and I got a email from another cruise line(Carnival) on a Thursday about some super low priced cruises that sailed the next monday. (During the swine flu time) about one hour later I was booked on the Paradise. At $99.00 PP it was a deal I just had to book.
