-The-True-North- Posted November 21, 2023 #5 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Glad we have our 3 cruises paid for. Once they get rid of all these bonuses, we are most likely done. Fun while it lasted tho. However, who knows if this is real. Same thing was said a month or 2 ago about the drink promo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Wildcatllamas Posted November 21, 2023 #8 Share Posted November 21, 2023 You would think that those of us who have voyages booked would have gotten an email by now if they are to be paid in full by midnight tonight. This is very strange. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CineGraphic Posted November 21, 2023 #9 Share Posted November 21, 2023 (edited) Part of me wondered if they could change terms on something that's already booked..... Didn't seem right. Edited November 21, 2023 by CineGraphic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the notification from my TA; I've never heard anything directly from VV on this matter. although they certainly have no difficulty contacting me to say that I owe 3 cents on a booking that I already have a PIF confirmation for! I can't address the legality of changing terms on an already made booking--I'd imagine that what they need is somewhere in the fine print, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just suddenly showed up after being PIF for months. I finally heard from a TA friend that the Florida and Book Early end 12/13 and anyone who has a booking done by midnight tonight will be grandfathered in for the pay early save 10%. This has been just a bit bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been just a bit bizarre. I've gotten $2.54, $.50, and $.03 notices all on the same cruise. Fortunately, I have a PIF notice and my TA tells me to ignore all the rest--that she is on it and nothing to worry about. It just gets REALLY old. I'd also love to know why VV can't transfer my passport info from one cruise to the next without requiring me to re-enter and re-photograph it each time. Strange, as other cruise lines can not only move it from one cruise to the next, but can notify me if any of the passports in the family need to be updated before booking another cruise. Their IT is unbelievably bad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare little britain Posted November 21, 2023 #13 Share Posted November 21, 2023 My guy at VV USA told me that I still would benefit from the extra 10% pay early discount providing I paid in full by 180 days out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raphael360 Posted November 22, 2023 #15 Share Posted November 22, 2023 The FL Resident 15% discount only applies to booking 45 days or less out. I've been trying to bag a good price using this discount for 8 months now but the price always seems to bump up around day 46. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babalooo Posted November 26, 2023 #16 Share Posted November 26, 2023 What do people predict as far as Cyber Monday? Think it’s a (no) surprise “we are extending our Black Friday” deal? I am torn about booking by midnight tonight or if I have some more breathing room this week OR waiting until Wave season for whatever may be better than this meh deal considering they just raised all the prices last month over 30% before BF. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If sales price goes up, so will base price. I don't see Cyber week being any better. Hopefully Wake Season is, but like other have said demand is there, so they don't need to offer crazy deals anymore. Unless you are in Australia. Not doing well down there. Will be interesting to see how well they do moving forward without the PIF discount and gradually scraping all the things that made VV great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, if you booked by November 22 you can still Pay In Full up until 180 days prior to the sailing. But your TA will have to call to have the discount applied. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No surprise, Cyber Monday is the same deal as Black Friday. There are rarely any changes. It goes through November 30 according to the VV home page. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbelle59 Posted November 28, 2023 #22 Share Posted November 28, 2023 We just booked 4 cabins back to back sailings for July 2024 and our travel agent said the 10% PIF discount promo ended. Are you saying that it is still valid? We booked on 11/26. Should I have our TA call back? Obviously this would be a substantial savings that we were actually expecting when we booked and were somewhat mad that the promo disappeared.

The PIF discount is ONLY available to bookings made on or before November 22, 2023. Anything booked after that, the promo is currently dead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
