Like fjg473, I too am wondering about the best way to monitor for possible price drops. Is there an app for this? (Isn't there an app for EVERYTHING?! 🙂) What's the best way to check for drops? I honestly just go to the NCL site and look up my cruise every day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final payment was made.This is my first time cruising. Are you all pricing them out on NCL's site? Right now everything looks pretty much the same price wise at least for a mid ship mini suite. Im going to keep checking I guess. But where is everyone seeing these price changes? Also does it matter if you booked through a travel agent? Are you still able to try to get a price adjustment? Would i contact the agent or NCL direct? I would have been interested in the obc more than anything. Sorry for all the questions. I have been reading on here for a few months but havent seen an answer on this yet. Im in the same boat (literally 😎) except FTC or utilizing a travel agent.....Im mid ship mini suite and am going to start checking the site...I'll let you know if I see a change. I'm only going to check once a week, let me know if you find a discount in the mean time. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can set a price watch here on Cruise Critic in the Find A Cruise section at the top of the page, or on some other cruise related sites. You will get an email when the price changes, up or down. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DandytheCop Posted February 26, 2020 #33 Share Posted February 26, 2020 FYI, scheduled my July 12 Encore trip in August 2019. The price after Black Friday was almost $900 higher than when I put down my deposit, and that’s after the 30% off deal. This morning 2/26/20 the price is now $160 LESS than what I got. I paid $1909 for a mid ship balcony category BA. Maybe the Virus outbreak is effecting the summer cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechE31 Posted February 26, 2020 #34 Share Posted February 26, 2020 We're on the June 7 Encore cruise. We booked at the end of 2018 with 4 in 1 room when they still had kids sail free. This is first time that I've seen the base price of the balcony lower than we paid. Our total cost would still be higher as the kids are now $419/ea vs $0.

amyh13 Posted February 26, 2020 #35 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) This is all great information. I am looking at the Gem on July 3. I am willing to pay the price for a mini suite now. Final payment is next week and there are 6 haven cabins, 10 suites and 35 minisuites available and Sailaway rates in every category below a minisuite. I am hoping either for a price drop on a minisuite or bumping up to a suite for the same cost. Edited February 26, 2020 by amyh13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going to wait as long as possible, especially with everything going on with Covid-19.... probably see some significant drops. The flip side of that, if it breaks out, I myself may exercise my CFAR policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theventers Posted February 28, 2020 #39 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Hi All! Look out for those price drops. NCL is being very accommodating for sailings in June/July. They have also shortened the final payment date to 90 days from120 days. Cancel (refund) and re-book if you need (if you made final payment recently, I made mine on 2/22) or ask for re-fare if you haven't made final payment! ~Nichole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you find out about the change in final payment date? I called this morning and was given an upgrade to a mini suite from an inside but I'd rather take a regular balcony for the price difference.

If you booked through the cruise you probably didn't not get notification. If you have an agent, they should have been notified as I was and should contact you (which is what I did). ~Nichole Edited February 28, 2020 by theventers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summerstravel Posted February 28, 2020 #42 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Going to Bermuda in a solo cabin on 4/11/2020 booked it a few months the price is still the same at this time. I have been watching for upgrades but I really wanted to try the solo cabin this time. This will be my second time in Bermuda. I hope the weather is not cold. Keep the information going I love reading the posts. Tracie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
