possible but not likely. If the rates have gone up that much there has to be a reason. Good luck though, it could happen.

I don't remember which cruise I was looking at but the inside cabins were as much as the haven. I was curious so I did a mock booking for an inside cabin. The inside cabin said "sold out." The only thing available was haven.

I bought a Bermuda cruise late on a Thursday Night when I noticed the price was cut in half for the next morning's sailing.

Good to know they can do last minute so I hope it happens for them as well

I'd suggest checking multiple times per day. Rates change all the time, so, it's possible? Is inventory showing in all the categories? Better chances if it is.

prices can drop last minute but not always. I am sailing feb 25 and mar 4 on the escape and have not booked yet cause of the crazy prices. I have been watching prices for weeks and several sailings dropped in price on the monday or tuesday before the sailing however this past week it didnt drop at all. It depends how many cabins are left i would assume. I figure it may or may not drop for me but seeing as how it is so expensive i may as well wait and see what happens. I am traveling solo so it is always more expensive for me. Often in sept and october prices can really drop but i would assume winter months the chances are less as everyone wants to get out of the cold. Good luck, hope it works out.

I get some excellent last minute bargains, BUT you have to be flexible, able to make fast decisions and accepting of NOT going. :) I've been traveling solo and NCL has been the winner overall. I picked up 9 cruises last year- no single supplements on any of them. One booking was during the afternoon, and I left the next morning. They've been in the week prior range.

 

It is ALL about supply and demand.

It depends on how many unbooked cabins there are inside 30 days and that depends on what time of the year the cruise is. And right now is not the right time of year for a plethora of unbooked cabins. If they have any cabins the week of the sailing, the price and/or single supplement will drop and those cabins will be snapped up fast.

I've seen them go up, go down, stay the same, and run out of cabins. Anything is possible.

i booked a december cruise in early november and the prices still dropped toward the end. but no havens at all were available for upsells sadly

 

the price dropped that i could have gotten a mini but i liked my location too much to upgrade

Being that I live less than an hour from the port, I go on the NCL website a lot. There have been many times I've seen prices drop within 7 days and also may times it jumps up super high or be totally sold out. It's just a risk to wait if your friend really wants to come. You will never know the outcome until you wait.

[sfaaa]

Yes on selected sailings. OV and Balcony on a sailing I am tracking both dropped after final payment date. But airfare has gone up. So it's still a no go. :(

More than likely, the people who had inside cabins, got upgraded. Therefore, the inside cabins became available, and NCL kept lowering the price.

Not to get your hopes up, but your friends may even get upgraded. Guaranteed Inside guarantees an inside cabin, or higher.

We are constantly checking. We are currently on a 7 day cruise to the Western Mediterranean. We booked on board and we started paying 2500 dollars each for a Balcony, yes very expensive but we wanted the free gratuities perk that was being offered at the time. As soon as my travel agent got the reservation she lowered another 1800 dollars . Yesterday we noticed that now for a Balcony is 849 dollars each, so we called her once again and VOILA price was lowered, we forfeited the free gratuities however we now have $350 dollars on board credit, excursion credit and Free WIFI, it always pays to keep checking on the price however this is before the final payment.:D
