mertziek Posted November 3, 2021 #1 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Just a reminder to everyone to recheck your cruise pricing. There’s a new 35% discount promo that saved me over $600 on a future Alaska cruise. But no savings on the 4 other cruises I have booked so look at each cruise separately to determine if you can save anything. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeHeartCruising Posted November 3, 2021 #2 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Unfortunately, none of my 3 current bookings would be lower in price. Oh well. Maybe the next one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKR2011 Posted November 3, 2021 #3 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Both of my cruises went up with this new promotion. Luckily they're in 2023, so still plenty of time for price watching on my end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes not especially with the way NCL plays around with their pricing. 😳🤭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin&randall Posted November 3, 2021 #9 Share Posted November 3, 2021 My cruise went up 5% so nothing changed but their advertisement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefMateJRK Posted November 3, 2021 #10 Share Posted November 3, 2021 7 price drops ranging from $2.90 to $259.90. I'll probably call and have them reprice five of them. The other two are small drops and I would lose a double bonus point promo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmmrzm Posted November 3, 2021 #11 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Checked today on a Feb 2023 cruise and saved about $250 each $500 for a couple. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twocoasts Posted November 3, 2021 #12 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Just emailed my TA. Not a huge savings but $300 is $300 that can be used for other things. Thanks for posting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vswan Posted November 3, 2021 #13 Share Posted November 3, 2021 When I went to check mine I noticed that the Club Balcony Suite price had dropped to the same rate as the regular balcony price. Have an email into my PCC now to see if that is actually what I'm seeing. With all of the 25% and then 10% FCC applied to the booking I've lost track of what the original price was when I booked.

Rare OrcaGirl Posted November 3, 2021 #14 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Obviously in these pandemic times we can't assume that what happened in the past will happen again, but is there precedent for an early November 'sale' that's different than their usual on-going promo? Do we think there will be a better offer for, say, Black Friday, or is the 35% as good as it gets? The sailing I've got my eye on went down ~$200CDN this morning so I'm weighing booking now versus waiting a couple more weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Canadian bookings have different rules or you are looking at a cruise that requires full payment, book the cruise now. If the price goes down, get a price and/or perks adjustment during the "sale". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobiemom Posted November 3, 2021 #16 Share Posted November 3, 2021 My cabin price went down but since I’m past final payment I can’t get anything. Didn’t expect to but it would have been nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, at least in the past, that even though one can't get the reduced fare after final payment, sometimes they'll give part of the reduction as OBC.

Last minute cruise deals might not be affected by any special sales - but you might get better perks (double/triple points, double up CN) during a "sale". You can always play the "courtesy hold" game - keep putting bookings on hold and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first the rep said they might be able to give some OBC but the final answer (in writing) was “no.” But I’m good. I’m on a cruise! 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian V Posted November 4, 2021 #22 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Looks like ours dropped by about CDN$100 - who do we call? Ghostbusters? 🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostbusters? 🙃 Not sure about Canada but I made two calls today to NCL reservations. I checked my smart phone. It took exactly 10 minutes to lower the price on five bookings for DW and I. It took 7 minutes to lower the price on four bookings for DD. It doesn't take much of a savings to equate that into a decent hourly wage. 😎 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdpatte Posted November 4, 2021 #24 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Ours went down by a little over $100. Took less than 5 minutes to call and get it rebooked at the lower price. Thanks for the post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julig22 Posted November 4, 2021 #25 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Great sale LOL. Prices on my booked cruises have remained pretty stable for quite some time, so not necessarily changed with this sale - but this is where they stand at the moment: December cruise is +$50, no airfare (<90 days out) or triple points February cruise is +$200, no airfare (<90 days out) or triple points August cruise is +$2500, no double points September cruise is +$300, no double points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
