I'm glad I found this thread because I was just coming here to ask a related question.

 

This past week, RCI had a $99 for yesterday's sailing. This morning I saw the $99 for next Friday. Is it fairly conceivable that if I waited until the last minute that I could get on the Sep 21st sailing at $99?

 

My brother is coming in from Ohio for a golf outing with clients, and I thought it might be a cool brother/sister weekend. He and his wife are expecting a baby in November, so he's being super careful with money right now. I think a base rate of $99 would be a huge selling point.

 

I've never booked last minute, so I'm looking for your thoughts. Thanks!

I don't think your brothers wife will be allowed to cruise if she is expecting in November

WOW!! Great price and I hope it works out for you and your brother. I think that would be a great experience for the both of you. Good luck!

Not guaranteed that it will happen but there is a possibility, I am guessing (and I mean guessing) a pretty good one as this has happened so far the past two weekends not counting this one Good luck

I don't know - these last minute. Last Minute Rates are always a crap shoot. You might get lucky and get a residency rate; however, there are no promises.

 

Good Luck!

I'm in the same boat, I'm going on the 21st.

Funny, someone else is analyzing the same thing!

Normally I'd think $169 for the 21st is a great deal but the $99 has made me greedy.

I think I'm convinced to give it a gamble and hope next Saturday the 21st goes on sale for $99.

I'd be OK paying up to $199, I just would be pissed if it went up to $299.

That's probably unlikely, as if it were close to being full it wouldn't be this cheap.

So jealous for those that live within driving distance! I already have Friday and Monday as vacation days for work, that would be a no brainer. I think my boyfriend and I spend more than that for a normal weekend doing nothing exciting. We couldn't afford NOT to go :) LOL

We were on the Mn 8/24 cruise to nowhere and we booked at $169 and at the time we thought we got a good deal. Who knew that it would go down to $109 for an OV.:rolleyes::eek:

Dh and I booked Monarch for the 17th 4 nighter yesterday. With our GA residency rate of $129 outside guarantee, we ended up with a deck 2 porthole for $380.40! Not bad for a week of sun, food and relaxation!

 

 

I have a question about residency rates...

 

Our family owns a condo in Florida in which we are staying for the week.

My driver's license however says Michigan.

 

If I were to walk into a Florida travel agent office in person,

 

Could I get a Florida resident rate? Being I do own property in Florida?

Or does it only go off your ID

I could even bring my gas bill showing I live there!
