jojo1966 Posted October 31, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Been monitoring the price on a daily basis on a Nov 2020 cruise to Japan as I wanted to book a room for my son, but due to the fact that they charge you double occupancy I wasn't really happy to pay the price. Its been going up and down since I started checking - started at £2,402 but then went up to £2,872 ( and that's for an inside !) Dropped down again to £2,602 this week, but checked this morning and its dropped down to £1,800 !! That's £800 pounds off overnight !! Jackpot! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pays to wait sometimes but prices usually do not come down a year in advance like this. Lucky you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Cruiser 6143 Posted October 31, 2019 #3 Share Posted October 31, 2019 You win some, you lose some when you play Celebrity Roulette with pricing. I had been monitoring a CS on Equinox in September and was about at my comfort level and ready to pull the trigger. Hoping for one more price drop. Instead, the price increased by $4,000. That was the end of that deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luv2travel90266 Posted October 31, 2019 #10 Share Posted October 31, 2019 As a trick when you are researching prices do it using an incognito browser window. All web browsers have this option. When using a regular browsing window a cookie is downloaded to your computer. They know you are looking at the cruise pricing and it may be that you will see a different lower price appear. It also works when researching airline tickets. Your tech trick of the day! 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching a couple cruises last year - I did get an alert or two, but a) they came late and b) missed some drops. I know this because I was also checking myself daily. If the site isn't going to be reliable, it's worthless as I need to continue checking myself anyway..... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isdoo Posted November 6, 2019 #18 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I just watch the feed that they use and have it updating every 30 minutes. Although currently it is showing cost per cabin for 2 rather than cost per person. Celebrity altered something a week ago. Managed to save £2,000+ off our suite on the Silhouette plus increased benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimberlydrzymala Posted November 6, 2019 #19 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Your post prompted me to check the prices for our Med cruise for Aug 2020 and I was able to upgrade from a Sky Suite to a Celebrity Suite AND save 700.00 and get 300.00 additional OBC. Feeling like I won the lottery today! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
