Shaytmg Posted December 1, 2006 #1 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Hi Ya'll, My wife and I are interested in taking a cruise on the Noordam at the end of January, although the prices are bit too expensive for us right now. Does anyone know if the prices will drop if there are still staterooms available close to the sail date? Thank so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted December 1, 2006 #2 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Very hard to tell. Some sailing the prices will drop. Other times - nothing. Just keeping cheking every couple of days on HAL's site. And if you have a TA, have him/her keep checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomica Posted December 1, 2006 #3 Share Posted December 1, 2006 They may, but there's no guarantee. January's coming up pretty fast - I'd imagine that prices are almost as low as you'd find. You may be able to get a good deal on a guarantee stateroom in a few weeks. As KK said, watch HAL's site like a hawk, or have a TA do it for you and advise you as soon as there is a price change. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy_Chief Posted December 1, 2006 #4 Share Posted December 1, 2006 HAL ran a sale on this winter season's cruises already. It is not likely that they will have any others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhannah Posted December 1, 2006 #5 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I would guess that prices won't drop. They are way past final payment time, and I'm sure they've already done what they need to do to fill the cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BumperII Posted December 1, 2006 #6 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Just checked my favorite site for the January 27 sailing. It looks like both the S Suites (most expensive) and the Cheap Seats are already sold out. They are always the first to go. Once that happens, it is a pretty good sign that the cruise is selling pretty well at prices quoted to the Travel Agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustangs Posted December 1, 2006 #7 Share Posted December 1, 2006 This cruise is heavily discounted at the moment, and I doubt that prices will drop further. Two online TA's that I have used before are listing VH guarantees (balcony/verandah) for under $1,000 (one at $898!!!). Great price for an eleven night cruise! Don't wait too long, the ship will fill up fast at these rates! Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtl513 Posted December 1, 2006 #8 Share Posted December 1, 2006 ...VH guarantees (balcony/verandah) for under $1,000 (one at $898!!!). And since there's only four of them on the ship, odds are pretty good that you'll be upgraded! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottomrung Posted December 1, 2006 #9 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Shaytmg, Are you looking at the 10 or 11 night southern cruise at the end of Jan. I checked the Hal web site and almost everything is still available. I also checked the site we book from and its about $400 per room less than the Hal price. I have never seen anyone actually list any web site other than the actual Cruise line site, so I will not mention this one but it is advertised on Cruise Critic! and the Initials are CVC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
