Does Good Friday count as a "business day" for ES?

Since it's technically a holiday. We sail on Saturday the 7th and have ES rates on our 3 rooms.

 

I'd guess that I can put in price drops until Thursday the 5th. Or will it actually be Wednesday the 4th as Friday is a holiday?

I would say it is a business day, Not a holiday according to the Feds.

I work for a bank and it is not a Federal Holiday - banks are open.

I very much doubt there is a hard and fast rule for this despite people's guesses. One person got a drop only 24 hours before the cruise on a Saturday. You just never know. Depends on how busy they are too.

I just assumed Good Friday was a holiday because I work in an ER and I have to work Friday - because it's my Holiday. However, Easter isn't.

 

I'm thinking my hospital calls it a holiday to give the admins a 3 day weekend.

Good Friday counts as a biz days. I work for a bank as well and we get 10 paid holidays a year (even Columbus Day! lol) but Good Friday is not one of them. The Fed is open, NYSE is open, USPS is open.

Do you work in a Catholic Hospital, i.e. "St. John's" or "Our Lady of _____"? That would explain why it's a holiday for them.
