BrianI Posted November 9, 2014 #3 Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) Out of interest, is there an advantage of doing it on board? You get extra on board credit. Brian. Edited November 9, 2014 by BrianI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Boy Posted November 9, 2014 #4 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Additional onboard credit if booked onboard £25-£50-£75 depending on length of cruise Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooked cruiser Posted November 9, 2014 #5 Share Posted November 9, 2014 When we were on the Aurora last Christmas we booked the Ventura for this Christmas (Outside obstructed) and believe it or not received £220 EACH OBC. Not a bad result as far as we were concerned and if the offer is as good again this year then we will do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevonianCruiser Posted November 9, 2014 #6 Share Posted November 9, 2014 With the prices available now (£899 for inside and £999 for balcony) is it not worth considering waiting and booking late? I know many people need to book exacts dates months or even a year ahead, but on nearly all the cruise lines I sail with, great deals seem to be available later on. Just a thought :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooked cruiser Posted November 9, 2014 #7 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I tend to agree with you to a certain extent however, When booking for a festive cruise like Christmas & New Year waiting can be your downfall as the charter flights are limited and you could miss out.

Very true, those times can be tricky and not worth risking I guess. Theres certain times of the year when deals come tumbling down, like November and early December. I always think that with the med also. If I wanted a weeks cruise out of Barcelona and happy to go with say RC or NCL I'd book the flights with a low cost airline really early and wait on deals. This cruise I have on the Ventura is the first packaged holiday I'll have done in years. I always tailor make my own :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
