kcwingwalker Posted November 7, 2013 #2 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Got another $100 OBC on our March,10 cruise. Good for you and thanks for sharing! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinsaj Posted November 7, 2013 #3 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Thanks so much! Just called and left a message for my travel agent. That will be the second price drop!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinsaj Posted November 7, 2013 #4 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Quick question. Why did you take it as OBC? Don't they just take that off the final payment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overthehillcruiser Posted November 7, 2013 #5 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Just got $100 OBC for Mar 16 sailing...I went ahead and paid it off about a week ago, thus the OBC, so have enough now to cover gratuities plus a few drinks as I got an ES drop a few weeks ago and already had OBC from onboard booking.

chris.b.74 Posted November 7, 2013 Author #11 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Quick question. Why did you take it as OBC? Don't they just take that off the final payment? My cruise is paid in full so every time the price drops I get it put as OBC. But you can get the money put in your bank account if you want the cash back. But I prefer having the money already on my S&S card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelle1836 Posted November 7, 2013 #12 Share Posted November 7, 2013 not for me :( but I'll keep checking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinsaj Posted November 7, 2013 #13 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Ok. That makes sense. I haven't paid in full yet. I may just use the price drop to go to a higher deck. I have two balconies on deck 8 and want to try to switch to the Lido deck. Wanted to all along but I didn't want to give more money. Anyone have opinions on Verandah deck vs Lido deck???

Jeafl Posted November 7, 2013 #14 Share Posted November 7, 2013 My March 22 cruise is still $150 more than we paid. I have a feeling that it will never go lower than what we paid because it is considered spring break week for a lot of the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bambidrummer Posted November 7, 2013 #15 Share Posted November 7, 2013 If the price drops enough you can upgrade for a few dollars more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted November 7, 2013 #16 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) My March 22 cruise is still $150 more than we paid. I have a feeling that it will never go lower than what we paid because it is considered spring break week for a lot of the country. Many times, these are late price dumps, due to the higher overall demand. If there are any drops, you can expect them less, then 30 days before sailing. Just like right now, the Thanksgiving cruises are discounted, some, huge. Christmas and New Years week- this year a lot of schools have 2 weeks off, so I expect a good amount of discounts available being it involves 2 weeks this year. My sister and her family are getting a cruise- as a gift from me one of those weeks. :) They don't care where they go. :) This week I jumped on a Jan dump out of Port Canaveral, $1055 for 3 of us. Only priority was St. Maartin. Edited November 7, 2013 by Budget Queen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awhcruiser Posted November 7, 2013 #20 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Thanks for the heads up...But the price has not gone down further for our April cruise..We already got one price drop a few months ago.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted November 7, 2013 #21 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Thanks!! It looks like our price has dropped over $100 for our April cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizinisthebest Posted November 7, 2013 #22 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Congrats on whoever is getting those price drops! Nothing for me. My cruise is going up. I can likely forget about getting any drops on one room, because of the category. And the other already had one drop for $140. Not sure I'll get much better than that but there's plenty of time left.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akleckne Posted November 7, 2013 #23 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Just saved $240 on 3 cabins for our April cruise. We already had a really good price! Every penny counts...thanks for the heads up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brittany&Robert Posted November 7, 2013 #24 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I just checked our December date and it has dropped $40. Should I call and get my OBC now or wait to see if it drops any more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
