upwarduk Posted September 22, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I have tried all afternoon to search how much it would cost us, never mind book a cruise. Anyone else having problems? It says the offer finishes on October 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barneyboy Posted September 22, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Yes I’ve been having the same problem all day. I can only get as far as choosing a cruise but can’t get to the prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t suppose they’ll reprice it but will be worth cancelling and rebooking as our deposit was £300. Will try to get through on the phone tomorrow.

On a Social media site someone was reporting that their cruise which they had booked 2 weeks ago during the 60% off for 2 nd passenger offer had now gone up $250 with the 75% off offer.😱 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That includes “special “ offers that may not be specials. You should book a cruise when you believe it to be a good value for you and not be concerned with “sales” or “specials”. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordoncruickshank Posted September 23, 2022 #10 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Having finally been able to review the prices they are more expensive for the Feb 24 cruises we booked earlier this year. Not a genuine sale or offer from what I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X never claims its latest offers are the cheapest ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upwarduk Posted September 23, 2022 Author #17 Share Posted September 23, 2022 I can actually access the site via the link advertising the 75%off. I choose a 2A cabin ( now Premium Verandah) and was given pricing of £1944 for cruise only or £2330 p.p for All Included. I choose all included. The next page showed me pricing of £3659 p.p. Where did the addition of £1329p.p come from. It was not taxes and fees that is added later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We managed to switch from a CS to a R/S for Feb next year with no extra cost but the current offer doesn’t make sense to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upwarduk Posted September 24, 2022 Author #21 Share Posted September 24, 2022 (edited) Initially, the Deluxe verandah cabin was advertised at slightly more than £2,000, until I went on to the next page, where the price was inflated and shown as £3245 p.p. However, when the final total is shown, which includes the 75% reduction and addition of Taxes and fees, it is £4154, which works out as £2077 p.p. I suggest they have inflated the price so they can then advertise the 75% off 2nd passenger, to attract people, but there is actually finally no difference in the pricing whatsoever.

Yes just call it marketing. The price you first see is usually close to the final price..so I have discovered. My next cruise cost more at 75%off than at 60 due to a higher base rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much what happens on almost every occasion. For sailings from the UK, X went though a phase of extra OBC one week, then no OBC but free parking at the port the next week, then back to free OBC and paid parking. The total rarely changed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
