buzymom3 Posted October 16, 2008 #1 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I am soooo sad. It just seems that all the other ships and sailing are getting price drops and Freedom just keeps at the same price! :( Is it because it is the Freedom? I have seen other Spring Break cruises get wonderful price drops.... I am so jealous that the price drop fairy has visited others and just keeps forgetting us! anyone got any pixie dust???:p j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMoney Posted October 16, 2008 #2 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I'd be really surprised if a Spring Break cruise on Freedom dropped in price, but I guess stranger things have happened. You can always change to a cheaper cruise...:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMickey28 Posted October 16, 2008 #3 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I have been watching our cruise on Freedom for this weekend and haven't seen much of a drop in prices either. Liberty was significantly higher and now is much much lower, it's so annoying. What is it about Freedom??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariaoftheSeas Posted October 16, 2008 #4 Share Posted October 16, 2008 If possible why don't you switch to a sailing that is less expensive, you are within the timeframe that you can switch sailings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzymom3 Posted October 16, 2008 Author #5 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I guess I don't know enough about the differences between Freedom and the other ships that are sailing that weekend for 7 days. I have a 14, 17 and 18 year old. I thought that the Freedom would offer the most for them to do, especially the 18 year old, since he is too old to do the teen club thing. Any advice here? I guess the stuff that makes Freedom so attractive to families is the reason the price is not dropping!! lol j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeywell Posted October 17, 2008 #6 Share Posted October 17, 2008 My cruise on the Independence for spring break 4/4 has actually gone up in price since I booked, for the cabin/category I chose. I don't expect Spring Break drops in price, but would love to be pleasantly surprised! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buccaneergirl Posted October 17, 2008 #7 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I think that as it gets closer to your sailing, the price will go down. If you look at the really great prices out there right now, they are for the next 2 months and honestly, the economy is not going to get any better for awhile. Keep your fingers crossed for those price drops!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwalaska Posted October 17, 2008 #8 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Take a look at Explorer in March and maybe you will feel better. I am so glad I booked last January. An interior now is way more expensive than our oceanview was when we booked. And, we just lost a port and an hour each in 2 different ports. I think on the more popular ships, your best bet for a good price is to booked really early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retnuh281 Posted October 17, 2008 #9 Share Posted October 17, 2008 We are on VOS out of Galveston for Spring Break and the price has sky rocketed since we booked. I honestly can't believe any bookings during spring break are dropping, I can just assume tons of cruisers sold thier stock at the bottom. Be happy your cruising, if a price drop comes along then it's like a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailor moon Posted October 17, 2008 #10 Share Posted October 17, 2008 We did manage to get a C&A coupon for our spring break cruise on the Voyager. That shocked me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T&Tmom Posted October 18, 2008 #11 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Hi buzymom - We are on the same sailing and there was a price drop for this cruise for some cabins back in August. My party has three cabins booked - D1 balcony, D2 balcony and M inside. The D2 and the M both had price drops. But unfortunately my room is the D1 and no price drop :( . But my Sister and nephew are both saving some money (and they have to buy me a drink on the cruise because I found the price drop :D ). I keep checking to see if any other price drops come through. Maybe with the economy, we will see another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzymom3 Posted October 18, 2008 Author #12 Share Posted October 18, 2008 T&T Mom - I love your idea...if you find the price drop then they should buy you a drink...or two, if it was a BIG one. lol How old are your kids? I have a 18, 17 and 14 year old going. along with my mom and my hubby. We have a D2 and an H cat. cabin. We did get that price increase that you mentioned, plus the senior discount on my mom's reservation. Actually that was when we booked the cruise so it was the rate of booking, not a rate decrease. I am hoping that as we get closer the price might drop some. Need to pay for the shore excursions the kids want to do :D Hope you signed up for the meet and mingle?? j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinmama06 Posted October 18, 2008 #13 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Not a surprise....the Freedom class just keeps going up and up. You just picked a popular cruise. ;) I have never seen a price drop with mine either. So you are in good company. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T&Tmom Posted October 18, 2008 #14 Share Posted October 18, 2008 My boys will be 16 and 8 (turning 9 on the cruise). And we are signed up for the M&M. Now we just have to wait...and wait...and wait...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
