robin13 Posted August 30, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 30, 2014 So excited as the price finally went down more than $25 on the 11/2/14 Allure cruise. I have been tracking this cruise since June when the high price for a single inside was $2504. Yesterday morning the price was $1706 and then around 5pm the price dropped $315 to $1391 and I grabbed it!!! Thank goodness for those price alerts as I wouldn't have know about it without them. I also got OBC, bottle of wine, and dinner at a specialty restaurant. Oh and I got RT air from DFW for $215!! As my ex used to say I was rolling sevens. Now I am waiting for the price to go down again so I can get an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KansasK Posted August 30, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Congrats on the price drop! I booked a back to back on the Oasis for Feb. 21 and Feb. 28 and took a Central Park balcony at a higher price than I paid for a balcony on the Oasis last May. I watched the price, too, and it finally dropped. We saved over $600.00, but then upgraded to a balcony and saved slightly under $300.00. I will continue to watch the price, though! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ttnc4me Posted August 30, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Being an off season cruise, I would expect it to drop even further well into after the final payment date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have three rooms booked so it would be really nice for one. I need to start checking every day but just don't have the time. What is the price alert you mention above? Thanks!

e.joeanna Posted August 30, 2014 #7 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Awesome! I booked this same cruise back in March for $649 pp for an inside room. I've been watching the prices and they have changed several times in the last few days. If they drop again I will probably upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.Oceanlover Posted August 30, 2014 #8 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Being an off season cruise, I would expect it to drop even further well into after the final payment date. Going the week after Thanksgiving and have been booked since january and $649 is the lowest I've seen except for the TA coming up. Even if it doesn't go lower I think the OP did well considering it's on the Allure. Enjoy your cruise OP. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chanat Posted August 30, 2014 #10 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I have 2 rooms booked on the Oasis for Jan 3rd sailing. I booked those bc I really wanted adjoining cabins so I thought I should grab those while I could. I still need to book another room, interior for 2 ppl. The prices are remaining high as I have been watching them for months now. Does anyone know if the prices tend to go down closer to sailing on the bigger ships? I think they would in general due to having more cabins to fill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted August 30, 2014 #11 Share Posted August 30, 2014 How did you get the bottle of wine and specialty restaurant included?? Likely a travel agent perk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin13 Posted August 30, 2014 Author #12 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Yes, it was a TA perk that has three letters which are all the same. As for the alerts I am not supposed to say here on the boards but it does have fish in their name. And I think that this cruise will be going down some more but I am going with a group of people who booked last year and I wanted to be on their deck. There were only two inside cabins left on their deck so I grabbed the one closest to them. I am very happy with the price as it is the Allure and I am by myself in the cabin.

I think they would in general due to having more cabins to fill I have been following the prices from September to December and have the same thought process as you about the prices being lower to fill the cabins but like i said previously I haven't seen anything under $649 for an inside for any weeks. My sister wants to go with us and is solo so she is looking for something reasonably priced. Haven't even seen a single supplement of less than 200% for any weeks either. Just checked the last minute sailings listed for September and October on Allure and nothing less than $687. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill The days of the reduced single supplement seem to have vanished about the time they introduced double points for solos. I keep watching single pricing to see if I can grab a last-minute deal that would fit around my work schedule ... for the moment the scheduling is my biggest roadblock, but if it eases up, I want to be in a position to know what to expect price-wise.
