doodlefan Posted April 25, 2004 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2004 I hope it's okay to use their name but has anybody ever won a cruise auction on SkyAuction and how was the experience. Some look like really good deals with good savings if you're flexible in timing and others look no cheaper than booking on line. Just wondering if anybody has gone this route and were you pleased with the outcome? Thanks, Tara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitemare Posted April 25, 2004 #2 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Plenty of posts on back boards here and on the Money Saving Tips board about Skyauction. You're right about flexibility being required! I've seen a bunch of favorable post, but also a ton of complaints about them as well. Do a search on Google.com as well, if you're thinking of investing your vacation dollars through them.

AuntieBon Posted April 25, 2004 #3 Share Posted April 25, 2004 I won mine last month for a September cruise to Bermuda on the Nordic Empress (soon to be Empress of the Seas). All of my dealings with them to this point have been by email and they have been very responsive. That being said I'm not a person that requires a lot of hand holding nor do I expect a high level of service. I'm looking for the best bang for my buck. Having paid $576 per person for a eight day cruise, including transportation from Boston to New York round trip I'm just waiting for my cruise to get here.

HOSKI Posted April 26, 2004 #4 Share Posted April 26, 2004 I also booked a Sept. cruise thru them and to this point have been very happy. My only point of complaint is that I have a group booking number so I can not preregister with Carnival. I had a special request about a third person in my cabin and they promptly answered it by email before I bid. Keep in mind that I have done a few cruises, do my own research and am used to dealing with online TAs. I would not recommend for a first time cruiser.
