Another price drop??

[agentcorona]

I did a mock reservation and saw another price drop. Is RC having a hard time selling the sail dates for my cruise? I really don't care because another price drop is awesome. I'm going to call tomorrow and see about getting it credited towards my reservation :D

Their pricing system is all computerized. If the cabins aren't selling well the computer drops the price.

 

Many on these board also believe that employees in Revenue use a dart board to drop prices. Either way enjoy the savings!

I have two possible responses to your question:

 

1. When you booked, did you get the BOGOHO rate?

 

2. I just looked at the website, and if you were paying $200 more per person when you booked, then (IMO) the cruise was overpriced to begin with.

If nothing else they are being consistently inconsistent

 

Love the dart board idea. You could be right :)

Question about price drops - if I've already paid in full but I see a price drop, can I switch cabins if the price i paid is the same as what a cabin is going for now?

 

Ie. I spent $1,500 on an inside cabin but I see an outside right now for almost $1,500. If I've paid in full already but I call my TA or RCI, can I get my inside moved to outside for the same price?

Yes, you can usually switch, but there are exceptions if the new price is restricted in any way.

I wouldn't wait until tomorrow to call unless by tomorrow you mean today:D

My thoughts exactly, I would call asap. Just as the priced dropped, it could easily go back up.

I had to wait until today (the following day) because their call center was closed for the evening. I received my price drop though! So far it's a little over $600 off due to price drops. Not bad :)

When is your cruise? I can't do a mock booking since my cabin is sold out. I was just trying to see if it maybe was around the same as our sailing in December.

I don't know about RCCL having a hard time filling ships but it looks like maybe Carnival is. I just looked for September of this year and there are 6 ships with 7 day cruises for $369 to $419 for a balcony! The Breeze which has a 6 day, Like the Indy is only $299 for freaking balcony, OMG! If I lived close to one of those ports it would be hard to pass those rates up... I dont think I can live at home for a week for those prices:D

My brother, who had never cruised on Carnival, was able to cruise on the Splendor out of NYC earlier this summer for about $1000 for an 8 night cruise. Solo, in a balcony. Including paying for two friends. Solo in inside cabins.

 

That's THREE cabins solo for 8 nights, for $1000. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

We live in Australia, and the cruise prices are soooo much dearer here than in North America! We do plan to move to Canada in a couple of years, so guess what we will be doing:D

It's a few months away, but it's fun to look forward to :)

You think that's cheap, there was a Pax that wrote on this board that she/he as able to snag a 12 nite on Oasis from Fort Lauderdale to Barcelona (9/1/14 )for less than $700 per for a balcony including airfare. I did a mock booking and sure enough it stared me in the face. OMG, what a steal, wish I had the time.

 

Ps. I did a mock booking again the next day to show my son this incredible rate, and alas it was gone.

I was drooling over the Oasis sailing about a week ago when they started the Air+Cruise sale, but there is no way I can get that kind of time off right now ... the return trip in mid-October is still priced for the budget-minded traveler. Without air, it comes up at 1401.78 for 2 in an inside.
