Biker19 Posted November 27, 2017 #26 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Bookings 1+ years out definitely give you the best rates. until there's a big enough price drop.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted November 27, 2017 #27 Share Posted November 27, 2017 That guarantee only applies to bookings within the last 48 hours of the price drop, plus it's not promenently displayed anymore, so I don't think it affects that many people.

Clarea Posted November 27, 2017 #28 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I was referring to the price drop policy priorities to final payment I suspect that is one reason they add the "instant discount" component from time to time. This automatically excludes those with C&A balcony discounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted November 27, 2017 #29 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I was referring to the price drop policy priorities to final payment which begs the question, will RCI be the first line to disallow price drops or as usual, follow NCL when they do it?

rukkian Posted November 27, 2017 #30 Share Posted November 27, 2017 which begs the question, will RCI be the first line to disallow price drops or as usual, follow NCL when they do it? I doubt that would happen, as it would severely make people think twice about booking early. Their balance sheet looks much better when ships a year out are showing mostly full. I could see final payment being moved earlier (120 days?), changing the date of the no more price drops, but even then it might screw up their bookings, tough to tell.

It would make no difference to me. I've never booked a cruise hoping for a price drop. I book early to get a good price and possibly a preferred cabin. Airlines do this, I know they aren't the same, but it works none the less Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll likely book after final for my getaways, and book early for the more complicated trips Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
