AlyssaGrant Posted November 2, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Hey I have some flexibility with my work schedule the week of thanksgiving and I was wondering if I wait a week out or so before thanksgiving if prices may go down due to the fact that most people have already booked for that week? It’s not a big deal if prices go up and I don’t end up booking it....what are people’s experiences with last minute royal Caribbean bookings on holidays? We have had our full of carnival breeze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookwife Posted November 2, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 2, 2017 unlikely you will get any better deal than what you see now. Galveston has a LOT of locals who sail out of there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaveitallbehind Posted November 2, 2017 #3 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Recently RCI has not been lowering prices post final payment. It seems that they typically remain at the last rates prior to final payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that if you wait until 7 days before a Thanksgiving cruise to make a booking on a popular ship like the Liberty OTS from Galveston, you'll be enjoying your turkey at home vs in the main dining room of the ship. It looks like there are 3 Interiors, 1 Ocean View, 14 balconies and 1 JS to go before a sellout.. and the ship sails in 16 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HicksRA Posted November 2, 2017 #6 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Interesting info.. are you a TA by any chance or is this readily available somewhere? Anyone can find that out by doing mock bookings online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SbbquilterUT Posted November 2, 2017 #7 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Ship at that time is likely sailing fully booked, therefore no price drop. I watched and checked regularly for a “sale” rate to Alaska this summer and even only 10 days out the price never dropped. Finally pulled the trigger for an inside guarantee for almost twice what we are paying for next May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally pulled the trigger for an inside guarantee for almost twice what we are paying for next May. Alaska is usually high. However, ours booked for next September has only gone up and up since booking. Currently $150 more per person than when I booked a few months ago. The Pacific NW isn't any better as it is up more than $100 pp than when we booked. I think you will get your best rates booking early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlyssaGrant Posted November 3, 2017 Author #9 Share Posted November 3, 2017 We live in Houston so it’s not a big deal to head down that way on short notice. Thanks everyone for the info we have sailed the liberty before and had a pretty good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
