Promo/pricing after Jan 1st?

[adamnoone]

Im going to be booking the Escape for March. Just curious if anyone knows the new promos/pricing starting after the new year? Normally Id book now and make adjustments, but Im booking after final payment so my usual cancel/rebook wont work this time. So book today, or wait??

 

Thanks all.

No one knows. Could be the same could be different.

If you are looking at the March 21st sailing, which I am on and have been following prices, they have gone up a bit the last couple of days. I'm not sure if that is because inventory has dropped or if they are inflating for another sale.

I am doing the 3/28 sailing. The current prices are reasonable, Id just hate if there was a significant decrease within a few days.

What about holding a desired cabin for now.  If the price increases within that time frame, book the price hold. If it decreases, then of course, book that price.  If it stays the same, rehold the cabin and see where pricing goes.  I've done this many times.

Good idea. To do a 24hr hold, Ill need to call my PCC right, or can I book the hold on NCL.COM?

 

EDIT*** Did a mock booking online. Courtesy hold is available online.

ncl.com  You have to go all the way in the booking process to payment.

Not sure when it will start - but he next "sale" is the Wave Sale - it usually occurs in Jan and/or Feb.

What is the Wave Sale?  In the past would there have been better pricing?

they already inflated prices for the current 'sale' they are having now.

prices were cheaper before their 20% off sale!

How many times can you hold a cabin? Can you do this over and over.

Oh no! I was hoping the "sale" would end and prices would go back to the price before NCL hiked prices to offer the "sale".

If this is legit, might be nice.  I put a deposit on a Hawaii cruise for 2021 with the "20% off with all the perks".  Will be interesting to see if the price changes tomorrow.  Fingers crossed.  LOL

We booked an H5 embarking 2/29 on Escape a few months back at the rate of $2400 pp.  The current rate for the same category is up to $3200 pp...that's the new "sale" price with nearly half of the Haven rooms still vacant.  If NCL holds true to their sale practices, then prices will increase before they decrease.  If you think it's a good deal at current pricing, you might want to jump on it.  If prices do go down, you can always try to upgrade your cabin to the equivalent price point.

The new "sale" started today and the price of the cruise I am watching went up by $13.

LOL Yep. My cruise for August of 2022 I booked with the "20% off sale" is about $40 more today with the "30% off sale". 🙄

Thanks, Budget Queen.  You always offer good information and are so helpful.

Probably asked and answered but I can't find it - have friends going on Jade in 3 weeks so well past final.

 

Can CN vouchers still be applied to the booking?  My guess is no.

 

Trying to see what full value of new promo is including CN.  So far our fares on 3 cruises are higher under then 30% off than the Latitudes 20% and we got good perks/promos.

Up to two CN certificates can be applied. Have them call and apply as soon as possible.
