Just received another email from P&O Cruises - $49 deposit $300 spending money, with ALL eight cruise offers for Inside Cabins only. 

They also have offers for the better cabins. It is just using the base inside price to catch your attention.

Has anyone found any great Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals?

Well, no.

P&O has one, and not sure it is much better than the sale they have every month.

 

Princess has one, and I was all geared to get a recent booking repriced. Turns out we scored a better deal 3 weeks ago than what the Black Friday price is.

 

I am still looking, and I haven't spotted any deals for Carnival yet. Maybe when the US wakes up for black Friday there will be something.

We were also looking for a short cruise. Put a Princess one on hold at a reasonable price.  PVP rang  yesterday and said there would be additional $200 OBC. Now $575 for a 7 night cruise, so obviously that is the one. We really wanted either Cunard or Celebrity but no specials at the moment. Virgin was close though, but with the Princess benefits, they won. Totally agree Geoff, sales aren’t sales generally!

Not at all. I get smashed with emails with supposed u beatable deals, but when you pick it apart, they just shift money around to make it look good.

I also got a better deal 3 months ago on a cruise only fare, even with the extras added now the fare is much higher.

There must be some people who fall for the non sale offerings otherwise why do they continue to do it. 

I think Virgin has a great sale on Resilient Lady half price during the January school holidays, because they don't have any children on board.

I haven't researched this but saw someone post this online.

Very catchy to have as the first one listed in a Black Friday promo.

 

2 nights, Melbourne to Adelaide. 

It was on Sparky's discount table two weeks back for $179, so it is a big Black Friday $10 discount. AKA, a typical P&O sale discounting $5pp per day.

Yes, it looks great at first glance but then I saw 2 nights, and then I saw To/From... hey, every $5 counts 🤣.

Well, we just got a bargain on Carnival. Cheap cruise with $300 OBC and Casino Credit of $100. Many cruises on offer starting from $260 for 4 days. Only problem for us, is husband can’t cruise in Inside cabin, so it is a no from us!

With covid currently increasing now is not a good time to book an inside cabin.

Prices are dropping for Virgin.  Makes cruising solo with them a bit more  appealing…just waiting for their open night dinner at the OPT on the 5th to see if we get a further discounts  before I book…

Might be worth considering the current half price cruise sale until the end of the month, if they are cruises you'd like to cruise on.

Sounds amazing... Where are you finding the cruise on Celebrity Edge on Jan 25 for only $90 per night?

 

Do you have a website link or company name? Is it in USD or AUD?

 

Thanks!
