New Years Eve - not selling out

[KPGirl]

Ok a few questions I am on the Glory for New Years, it appears that there are alot of rooms still available so I am hoping for more price drops (have had 8 so far). My question is do people book cruise so late in the date consider how much last minute flights are ??? There are 4 new scenic Ocean views available for only an extra $10 , why wouldn't people snatch these up?? I am hoping that no one else books the price drops and I update cheaper to the Scenic Ocean View.

Probably a lot of people from Florida and nearby states, who don't require flights, wait until the last minute to book in order to pick up the best deal possible. I know I would, if I didn't have to fly.

Or people like me who you couldn't pay to cruise over New Years. Did it once and it was horrid. Crowded, rude children everywhere. Never ever again.

Well then I am hoping there are lots that think like you and maybe the cruise will have a huge price dip because in my section of the ship no rooms have sold since June !!! I'm crossing my fingers.

my family and i are going out on the pride for new years eve----how did you check the price and rooms that are still available?

[KPGirl]

I just do a fake booking for the same category that I have and it still shows all 8 rooms still available , there are only 3 gone , mine, my inlaws and one other.

Unless there's a specific reason to go on a holiday date, why pay so much extra? The same cruise is available a week or two before or after at a more reasonable price.

Because its New Years Eve !!! Time to celebrate and not to mention the next week everyone is back to school and work.

Same here with our Easter cruise. I make fake bookings every few days since booking. I have seen ours also since July with all but 1 of the same rooms open. I do fake bookings in many diffrent decks/rooms. Always see the same open. Last year I didnt book early and hoped for prices to drop before doing so, BIG mistake as price doubled..This year looks reverse.

EXACTLY why we never, ever, ever cruise over holidays. Not to mention the exorbitant fares that the cruise lines charge for these "peak" sailings.
