getupgo Posted December 11, 2014 #26 Share Posted December 11, 2014 The prices just got down to what we paid on 3/15/14 for our 2/22/15 cruise. Still no drops and there are 10 cabins open on our deck. Can't understand why they are not dropping in view of current fuel costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonV1 Posted December 11, 2014 #27 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Best idea is to (also) share this with your roll call, as they are the ones most likely to benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonV1 Posted December 11, 2014 #28 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Fuel for your voyage was likely paid for a year ago as the lines buy contracts to stabilize prices over the long term. No one is going to drop prices now as many of the U.S. Oil fields will likely shutter until prices go back up. The oil tar/sand/shake fields need oil to be above a certain price to make money at all. Gas always goes down after summer anyway, it is just doing it more than normal right now. Once production drops it will creep up again.

Rare conandrob240 Posted December 11, 2014 #30 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Haven suite on my sailing in 3 days is now $1299 - yesterday was $1549. Still out of my range but I wish..... Have your TA call and ask for an upgrade offer. They may very well take much less than list price if many Haven suites are still available.

Rare conandrob240 Posted December 11, 2014 #31 Share Posted December 11, 2014 We're in the same boat on the price of our cruise - I've been keeping a sharp eye on it but it's never gone anywhere but up! We're in an aft balcony on the March 8 2015 Epic sailing and prices are over $300 pp more than we paid! It's too early for a significant price drop for an end February cruise. Check in early- mid January and then again about 3 weeks before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitten3008 Posted December 11, 2014 #32 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I'll keep an eye out, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeBeCruisers? Posted December 12, 2014 #33 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Our Feb 2nd cruise dropped today to. $400 less than we paid. NCL is doing next to nothing for compensation except higher deck upgrades. Is anyone getting better than that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamadeliz Posted December 12, 2014 #34 Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) 2 weeks ago we upgraded from an inside cabin to a balcony for $150 for the week for our cruise in February. I am not sure how great of a deal this was but I am happy to have a balcony. Edited December 12, 2014 by jamadeliz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umpy10 Posted December 12, 2014 #35 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Our Alaska cruise has gone up $630 since we booked, I doubt very much that it will come down before final payment. cheers...the Ump...:D Just an update since I last posted this info ............. as of 10 minutes ago, our cruise is now up over $1100 since we booked. I don't understand where everyone's getting excited about price drops, ours certainly haven't. :mad: Oh MY ! ! ! just realized this post will be my 1000 ! I guess I just joined the 4 digit club lol. cheers...the Ump...:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clean1owner Posted December 12, 2014 #36 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Our Mediterranean cruise for 3 people is still $600.00 higher than we paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommy2libras Posted December 12, 2014 #37 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Ours is down 200 pp for a next week's sail date. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2relax Posted December 12, 2014 #38 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Ours has gone WAY up since we booked ages ago. People are paying now for a lower category balcony what we are paying for an SG suite. I wish the prices had dropped, but with them so much higher; at least I feel like it was worth it.

karoo Posted December 12, 2014 #39 Share Posted December 12, 2014 The prices on my next cruise have been steadily dropping. The cruise is still 3 1/2 weeks away so they will probably drop further again. I decided to upgrade today and pay the small difference to get the balcony cabin. If prices keep dropping I guess we'll just get into a better category. Very happy to be in a balcony! Now I'll just have to keep watching the prices for my next cruise!

mamaduran2 Posted December 13, 2014 #40 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I just called NCL, mine went down a total of $240 and they changed my rate, no questions asked! I didnt know this was possible, thank you so so much for posting about this, I need every penny I can save on this trip! How often can this be done? If it keeps dropping can I get the rate changed every time or is it a one time deal? Thanks everyone for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champster Posted December 13, 2014 #41 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Last month I booked a Mid ship balcony suite. On Monday my NCL guy called an offered me a Haven Front Facing Suite for $450.00 more. I'm a first timer but from all I've read that seemed like a good deal. I jumped on it. The wifey is ecstatic!

Rhea98 Posted December 13, 2014 #42 Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) @mamaduran2, I'm not very experienced with this, but I believe you can get as many price drops as occur until final payment. I just did it twice within 3 days for one booking. Sent from my son's iPad using Tapatalk Edited December 13, 2014 by Rhea98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoofyCrew Posted December 14, 2014 #43 Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) We have the Kids Sail Free Promo so it is going to be hard to beat that. The prices for 1 & 2 have dropped but, by the time we pay for 3 & 4 again, we would be paying more in the long run. Bummer, but oh well! Getting excited!!! Sounds like we couldn't change now anyway, due to final payment already being made. Edited December 14, 2014 by GoofyCrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
