UK 35% extension to June 5th.

 

FAS 50% gone.

 

But what does that really mean?

Prices have gone up as the FAS sale was a significant discount on the budget cruises.

 

Eg. Dawn 10n sailaway inside(with FAS) has gone from £505 to £605 a 20% increase.

Quite a few others were under £600 gone up by £100  17%+

Thank you. I appreciate facts, not "oh no, the discounts are gone, prices have gone up". When they are actually still the same.

Not seen the FAS sale before in the UK.

 

it makes quite a difference for the bottom feeders like us.

 

I have noticed that on the cruises we are looking at the big late discounts are for inside and sometimes OV, big price jump to balconies.

 

That Dawn the cheapest balcony was(sold out now) over £1k  so more like a 10% increase but did have air credit, inside did not.

 

Our last cruise the upgrade min bids were significantly lower than retail price, a way for NCL to hide discounts.

 

As a comparison our other recent cruises are  MSC where min bids are very close to retail.

(I think they use the same outsource as NCL)

As all cruise lines are. Just do a mock booking and see the "real" price. It's not rocket science.

 

After 25 cruises, I think I got it figured out.  This was about their never sales tactics.
