Coco421 Posted February 18, 2009 #1 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I noticed in the 2009-2010 NCL freestyle cruising brochure EBF for Balcony for Itinerary we booked says 1399.00. We booked soon after rates came out for July 2010. We booked BA (I know that's a pinch more then other balconies) but it's 1949.00. This doesn't seem like an early booking fare. Is there a chance the price of this will go down? I thought a perk to booking for early was getting a better price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macdadsjaw Posted February 19, 2009 #3 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Not sure how that cruise does, but if thier history is the cruise sells out or comes close there is no reason to give any discounts. Just a guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise_More_Often Posted February 19, 2009 #4 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I just pretended to book a July cruise and then compared it with May prices. The price you'e seeing in the brochure is probably the LOWEST price available for a balcony for Alaska, and that's a May price. Does that make sense? We booked a Pearl minisuite for May 2010 and paid a little over $1,600 pp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dukegirl5577 Posted February 19, 2009 #6 Share Posted February 19, 2009 July is smack dab in the middle of the peak for Alaska. Warmer weather, kids on summer vacation (so more families), and the salmon is running (so the bear-spotting potential is much higher). Needless to say, the fares are generally quite a bit higher than in May or Sept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
