Terrible offer!! We booked a cruise last week going September and got the 2 free perks offer taking free grats and bev package. Cruise works out at $4500 for 2 in a SV category

 

If we went for the same offer under this "exclusive weekend offer" the 4 perks are available but the total cost is $6,048!!! :eek:

The offer is available for a suite. Always love the $25 deposit which saves one nothing. As for the savings - $3K off of what fare? Everything is relative and this "deal" is just like many - not what it appears at first glance. False advertising - no. 100% honest and not deceptive to the first look - no. Does it pass the "smell test" - just barely.

The benefit of a $25 deposit is not having money tied up for months. Our upcoming B2B was booked 2 years ago if we had to pay the full deposit on those 2 cruises then we would not have booked them.

 

Exactly right....I usually won't book a cruise unless its on a reduced deposit, with B2B's and several cruises booked you could have 3 or 4 thousand $ tied up in deposits which I prefer not to have.

The offer is for a suite not a Sunset Veranda. You would get all four perks, Micheal's and Luminea for the difference in price.

If the comparison is for the same cruise and comparing the SV with 2 perks to a suite with 4 perks, it is a great offer.

 

Think about it:

 

Upgrade from SV to a suite

Upgrade to premium beverage package

OBC

unlimited internet

 

All for $1,548. Most times, the cabin upgrade alone would cost more than that.

Makes you want to go "hmmmm". Where's all this "ships are sailing full " business? I'm getting offers for X cruises nearly every day, and the increasing number of free cruises for the Blue Chip Club boggles the mind. If business is so good, why these offers? Maybe some cruises are selling well, but if they all were, there'd be no need for these come-ons.
