Boy what a great price drop. Anyone who is booked will want to grab any changes now before it goes up again.

I am going on the Gem in April. Are you getting the reduced prices from NCL.com.

 

Could I get the refund if I booked through a TA?

I was going to write..."How come everybody's price drops except mine?" Now I don't feel so bad not having the kind of luck that some people have with pricedrops. Maybe it could be because I usually book when the prices are too good to pass up and they only go up?

Seems like cruiseline fares are becoming as erratic as airline fares? Soon we will be on a ship where no two passengers paid the same price for the same category cabin?

Lottery,

What week are you going? Is it the Gem?

I just went to check it out and July on the Gem is a great deal, but 4 airfares for me to go to Barcelona may be alot of money. I am going to watch airfare when it gets released in September for next July - NCL air is $ 1500 EACH. :eek:

So book it - lock in the great deal - you can cancel if you change your mind or airfare remains too high. NCL air for my Oct cruise Dover to Barcelona was $1250 - I booked nostop round trip Contenental for $600.

No. I'm going on the Crown in October to Bermuda and the Spirit repo in March from New Orleans back to New York. My prices start out very low because I have a great travel agent who discounts her commission. So far the prices haven't come down to what I have paid nor did they come down to what I paid on a previous cruise through her. Thats why I have booked other cruises with her also. Gotta take care of my girl!!:)

:) My TA just saved me $450 for my trip on the Gem in May. I guess there is a reason why I am the only one on the roll call.

Lottery, Well I can't discount my cruises because I receive the entire commission back. My cruise is one to Europe and it went down $872, which is more than the total commission on this cruise.

I saw this thread and looked into it for our cruise and we saved $400.00 for our New Years Eve Cruise on the Gem.

 

Thanks for the heads up!!

[missty]

I went online to look at the prices (a fellow cruiser mentioned noticing that prices had dropped), and it turned out the price on our cabin had dropped $70 per person. So yes, I saved $140 on my car insurance!

 

Check it out... you may save some money!

[Mooder]

I just called and got $400 taken off my invoice. Whoopeeeee!! Thank you so much for the info.

I checked my courtyard villa and now it is actually $200 dollars more then when I booked it. Of course we are sailing during President's Week...

Hi all, I posted this as it's own thread but thought it might catch someone's eye here...

 

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the 2 for 1 cruise deal you receive on NCL when reserving your wedding day tuxes through Afterhours.

 

We used this to book last February and realized at the time that it was not a direct 2 for 1 deal since the company goes by brochure rates (which are typically higher than those you find online) but we were able to get a balcony room for the price of an oceanview, which we were happy with.

 

Now it's July, and prices have dropped to where we could book the same category room (BD - balcony) direct through NCL for $78 less than what we paid (which was supposedly such a discount)!

 

I emailed the TA and asked if he could pass along any price drops and/or upgrades/upsell opportunities to us, and he replied that it wasn't possible because the 2 for 1 deal was not flexible.

 

I am considering cancelling with this TA (even though I would lose a $100 deposit) and booking direct through NCL. I would loose $22 overall, but I think it would be worth the peace of mind to be direct with NCL and have the opportunity for a price reduction/upgrade should the prices drop even lower.

 

Any thoughts??? I know it's kind of a strange question but I thought there might be a chance of someone else on here in the same situation.

 

Thanks in advance,

Rachel
