cruise pup Posted August 20, 2011 #1226 Share Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) Just a heads up not to go by the single supplement percentage listed on the happy hour specials chart from RCCL. The cruise I booked indicated 175% single supplement. But on the appointed day to book the cruise the single supplement turned out to be only 137%, which was a substantial savings. So if you're interested in a cruise on the happy hour list wait for the booking date and see what the supplement turns out to be. (Happily) This was not the first time this has happened.

CaliforniaDreamer Posted August 20, 2011 #1227 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Prices on this cruise just dropped today. Lots of higher category inside cabins available at 170%. Not the best deal I have ever seen, but a nice last minute deal from NJ to the Caribbean. some of us receive email notifications when there are new posts to this thread. in the emails, we only receive the information in the body of the message. what is written in the title is not included. if you all could include the name and date of the ship in the body of the message instead of the title. we wont have to come back into the forum to see which ship you are talking about. not picking on the OP but it happens every so often and just thought i would offer the suggestion. thanks!

bobmal99 Posted August 21, 2011 #1229 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Exactly what is the happy hour list?? And where/how do I find it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted August 21, 2011 #1230 Share Posted August 21, 2011 (edited) Exactly what is the happy hour list??And where/how do I find it??? Hi, it is a special that Celebrity and Royal Carribean offer on Tuesdays. I will post a link for the Celebrity site but I don't have Royal's link. They offer a few cruises each week (usually) that are on special and some have lower single supplements. You must book on that Tuesday in order to get the special price and sometimes there are not alot of choices. The link I am posting shows the cruises from August 16th. You will see what was offered. There were 5 choices and all were European sailings. So if you can go last minute it might be something to look at~the cruises offered are usually within 4-6 weeks away. If you want to find out this coming Tuesday offers? Click on the link Tuesday morning too. http://www.creative.rccl.com/Sales/Exciting_Deals/XcitingDeals_cel_tues.pdf Edited August 21, 2011 by Lois R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arhillbilly Posted August 26, 2011 #1235 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Thank you. I have been looking for a cruise but the single supplement has really been bad. This one will work and New Orleans (or Mobile) is really the closest port to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowbird1 Posted August 26, 2011 #1237 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Anyone who can go on the Sept 5 Monrach (4 day) there is GREAT pricing. Even if you have to pay 200% supp the deal is right. It is something like $140 PP so you get the idea here! If you live in FL there may be a Res special so look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past, low or no single supplements with Norwegian have been few and far between. :) When Spirit debuted there was a sailing that wasn't part of the NCL Sky's (this ship Spirit replaced) schedule so it wasn't well advertised. There was no single supplement on this sailing. I was able to book a balcony for about $900. which was incredible for Alaska. It was wonderful! It's a very special ship. I were a couple I'd book 2 singles to have the extra bathroom and storage space since it would be the same price as 1 double. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was wrong with the studio shower? I'm sailing on Epic for the first time next March, in a balcony-- but might want to consider studios in the future. Why did you hate the ship?

The only things I liked about the ship were O'Sheehan's and Moderno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL...I got in on that deal also. I could handle the shower; fortunately I had enough room to turn in a circle to rinse off :o But, I had to sit in the "water closet" at a diagonal with the door open to have enough leg room!! :eek: I'd do it again, but the deal would have to be just as sweet!!

SOLO_cruiser Posted September 1, 2011 #1247 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I just booked a 7 night from New Orleans on Norwegian Spirit for $219.00 single occupancy! Total with tax/portcharges: $473.78 inside. This shows up as $379+ tax/fees on websites, but the above is the total breakdown for that price. Ocean view appx $70 more. Where are the party people? Book today and let's rock this ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
