Just checked inventory on my 3/22 Bliss sailing again. Prices had dropped about $25 for most categories last week, but they went back up about $35 sometime over the weekend, despite only 12 more cabins having sold in the past three days. So still only averaging, at best, about four room sales per day. 396 rooms left with 48 days to go. On track to sale with 200 empty rooms at this rate!

You constantly keep track of every cabin category? I guess you really want to sail on that 3/22 cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just an information junkie, so I like to track the inventory and pricing on my sailings, even after I book and am past final payment. It can help influence my decisions about upgrade bids and I just find it interesting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JamieLogical Posted February 5, 2020 #106 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) They FINALLY dropped pricing on my 3/22 Bliss sailing by about $200 per person across all categories and (no surprise) inventory started moving again. Twenty-six rooms sold in the last two days! Edited February 5, 2020 by JamieLogical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We paid $699 base fare per person for our BA back then. As of yesterday, the BA price is down to $727. BAs peaked at 1119 on 12/19 and were hovering between $1063 and $1077 from 1/09 to 2/03.

Was looking at Celebrity the other day to book a cruise that was 2 years out and they wanted a non refundable deposit... no thank you that far out. I know you "only" lose $100 pp but the rest goes toward a future cruise but 2 years out??? Do they not have refundable deposits anymore or was it a glitch that day?

We booked 3/1 at $496...went up to $909....and now down to $664 for sail-away balcony. The ones later in March are $559 for that category....normal rates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4774Papa Posted February 12, 2020 #112 Share Posted February 12, 2020 With the Norovirus out there and stories of cruise ships quarantined (in the Far East), many may not be ready to cruise anywhere until this blows over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowardK Posted February 12, 2020 #115 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I am tracking 3/15 Bliss (I am on 5/17Encore) and found since this afternoon more drops on this and some of the later ones- specifically I was looking at a Balcony with all 4 promos and am finding despite it being a GTY it is becoming too good a deal to even care. My only concern is not being able to get to ship (even leaving the day before) so i am waiting to the week before- it just seems the downward slope of prices is really early leaving me to believe an increase won't happen until much later.

HowardK Posted February 12, 2020 #116 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Haven't seen deals this good since O Shennan was in charge. Of course, I would need to add Bus+UBer+Hotel +DSC on but it is still getting very reasonable. Of course, though I have never sailed from NYC in winter - but at these prices wouldn't care if I was stuck inside a day of two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really not much time on a 7 day cruise, but it's still warmer than back in NYC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare insidecabin Posted February 13, 2020 #121 Share Posted February 13, 2020 PIcked this up a few days back interesting that prices are dropping again I got 2 deals last year closer to home but the ships have not come back to Europe yet. Though I would have a look at the UK prices for the Bliss NY runs. 22 March BX with grats, drinks package and 3 dinners is £843pp just under $1.1k The US rates look a little cheaper($1050 with grats) but get all 4perks.

I'm looking at the following week, possibly.... 3/29 Yeah, looks like everything dropped another $70 across the board yesterday. I am psyched, because I was booked in a Studio with one perk (drink package) on the 3/15 sailing and yesterday I was able to snag an angled balcony with all perks for a grand total of an extra $113.95. Just the SDP alone would have cost me $118. Now I get the bigger room, an angled balcony, 250 minutes of wifi, and the $50 per port shore ex credit as well! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooleman56 Posted February 13, 2020 #124 Share Posted February 13, 2020 The price for a Sailaway Inside on our Feb. 24 Gem sailing dropped $400 a person on Wednesday from what we paid and is down $550 a person from the listed price about a week ago. I'm debating whether to call today and ask (nicely of course) for some onboard credit or wait until next week and see if prices drop further. We also have an Upgrade Advantage bid in for a balcony that remains pending at 11 days out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also have an Upgrade Advantage bid in for a balcony that remains pending at 11 days out. Would it be worth calling and just doing a direct upgrade to the Balcony at this point? Have Balcony prices dropped as well? As for calling in for compensation for the price reduction, you should be offered 25% of the difference as OBC and maybe offered 50% of the difference as future cruise credit. If the price drops another $50, that's only $12.50 in additional OBC, so it's up to you to decide if it's worth waiting to call. Remember, if your category sells out, they won't offer you any compensation at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
