hoosier sailor Posted May 14 #1 Share Posted May 14 What websites do you use to keep track of your stateroom rates? I have a cruise booked for a year from now and would like to keep track of te prices for any reductions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyFan33579 Posted May 14 #2 Share Posted May 14 I frequently check RCI’s website although lately it has been a waste of time since every cruise I have booked has increased price wise since I booked the cruise(s). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually that's done on a TA site and those are not allowed to be mentioned on CC. The RCI site sorta has a price tracking feature ($ in the upper right of main page).

leaveitallbehind Posted May 14 #5 Share Posted May 14 (edited) There used to be a website that was third party and tracked most of the cruise lines and was very effective as a tool. Unfortunately that site no longer exists and just about the only way to do so now is to periodically do a mock booking of your itinerary to look for price changes. Or trigger that by new promos and sales. If you booked through a TA and they are good that way, they could also periodically check for you. But basically you are on your own as the cruise lines won't do it as with the hundreds of thousands of bookings they manage it would be an impossible task. Not to mention the business fact that they would not want to voluntarily give up revenue. Edited May 14 by leaveitallbehind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though they aren't always accurate with current pricing, but it still gives you a good idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthStarStateCruiser Posted May 14 #8 Share Posted May 14 Another vote for cruiseplum.com Since they are not a cruise agency trying to sell cruises, they don't have a cluttered website with ads and promotions. They have options for automatic price alerts for stateroom categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthStarStateCruiser Posted May 16 #12 Share Posted May 16 13 hours ago, hoosier sailor said: Vision of the Seas in Jan. It looks like the 3 Vision sailings in this coming January are listed on cruiseplum still. Try one of these links: Jan 4 https://www.cruiseplum.com/cruise/US/2-people/Vision-Of-The-Seas/2025-01-04/12-days Jan 16 https://www.cruiseplum.com/cruise/US/2-people/Vision-Of-The-Seas/2025-01-16/8-days Jan 24 https://www.cruiseplum.com/cruise/US/2-people/Vision-Of-The-Seas/2025-01-24/8-days It looks like prices are starting to dip for these sailings as well, so now would be a good time to secure a lower rate.

Same here. Prior to the pandemic, I usually would check booked cruise prices a minimum 3-4 times a week, but now some of the pricing is mind-blowing.

My price for a inside balcony this oct about 1k, was over $3400 last I looked though came down some down. Not even for a good balcony. Harmony. I dont bother to check prices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the same will happen as we get closer to sail.😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EbayCruiser Posted May 16 #17 Share Posted May 16 I just go to the RC website and act like I am doing another booking. My upcoming cruise on Utopia has gone down 6 times since I booked a couple of months ago. I just call RC and they give me the new price. I have saved $500 so far and final payment is not until July.

Prior to the pandemic, I frequently booked cruises for less than I paid 5 years previously and sometimes longer. Unfortunately I think those days are gone.
