Chance of a price drop on Oasis - Spring Break "14

[brenderlou]

We have booked a D1 category balcony (hump :)) on Oasis for Spring Break '14 (leaving 3/22/14). I've always had luck in getting a reduced price with booking so far out and taking advantage of a price drop by checking on rates a lot.

Our cabin price is $1,659/pp but I'm not sure with it being Oasis if the price will go down at all between now and sailing.

Does anyone who have sailed on Oasis during a peak time have any luck with a price drop from this price range or is the demand still high that the price won't change?

 

Thanks

Who knows? My experience tells me that price drops on Oasis, in general, are not that common

Compare the prices for 2015 and you'll have your answer...which is very unlikely that they will ;)

That price seems high, even for Oasis. Are there less expensive D type staterooms available?

Yes, there are less expensive cabins but we are mid ship with a balcony on the hump. Not complaining about the price (or I wouldn't have booked). Just curious about the chances of taking advantage of I price drop like I have been lucky to do on most of my prior cruises by watching rates.

We are new to this class of ship so not sure of likelyhood of a price drop especially during a peak sailing time.

In the past I have cruised Spring Break the first week of March. It seems that after I return I see Oasis at $749pp. I didn't look this year but it was true in '11 and '12. I suspect that it will drop next year but I think that I will stick with Indy for 8 days. I envision too many on Oasis at Spring Break to really enjoy her. Good luck.

I just looked at the prices for 3/23/2013 D1. I'd say you did very well. Prices during spring break are relatively higher than a typical Oasis sailing.$1839 was the cheapest I saw it going back to June 2012 and that was regular as well as senior and a few resident rates. Other months you may have saved a couple hundred dollars.

We were booked on the Allure leaving 3/10/13 - AX cabin total cost (double occupancy) were 2,302.70, L was $1449 - including all port taxes, etc. We booked it in January.

 

We typically cruise the week of Easter - rates usually go down as the cruise gets closer/after final payment.

We sailed Oasis last winter/spring - our spring break college reading week was a little earlier - at the end of February, but it was Presidents week and also winter break for New York area public schools, so the cruise was pretty heavily booked.

 

We also booked a D1 for around $1500 - the price didn't drop for us prior to final payment, but after final payment the prices for JS cabins dropped and we were able to upgrade for $20 each, so I suggest you keep checking the price even after final payment.
