rsohn65820 Posted April 30, 2009 #29 Share Posted April 30, 2009 currently, mine are nearly $1K higher, yet i called NCL & was told the rate code won't produce valid rates until Monday online:confused: as im not sure if it's kosher to post the actual code here, i won't;)yet will post the fine print from the email i received... appears as though it's only for guaranteed cabins to sleep 2 or am i reading it wrong? Offer valid through May 5, 2009. All starting from rates listed above are Guarantee rates which apply to 1st-2nd guests only, except for Bahamas rates listed above. 3rd-8th guests cannot be booked on Guarantee rates.

TheNightDawg Posted May 1, 2009 #30 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I am right there with you JAJA....got my eye on that Oct. 20th 10 day out of NYC on the Jewel. Prices usually come down during summer on those. Right now saw that it has dropped once again and insides are $719, which is $40 cheaper than it was just last week. If I remember right, it dropped to mid-600's last year. I keep a close watch since I often sale solo and hope to keep the 10-day sailing at about $1100 for inside. Good luck to us both!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knuts1 Posted May 1, 2009 #31 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I called our PCC and we got $650.00 off our inside cabin for Alaska but the Mini was more than what we already have and the Oct room the same so only saved $600.00 after loosing the OBC.

pghflyer Posted May 1, 2009 #33 Share Posted May 1, 2009 For those who have done this before, how will the "private preview" work on Monday? Do we just need the code and apply it? Do they load the rates at Midnight on Sunday? Just curious........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickels Posted May 1, 2009 #34 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Here is an example of the bargains. On May 4 a $1299 pp Alaska cruise will be $399. Deals up to 81% off. Sounds like a good deal to me. No Caribbean. I did see an icon for Bermuda and the Bahamas. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nice Family Posted May 1, 2009 #37 Share Posted May 1, 2009 currently, mine are nearly $1K higher, yet i called NCL & was told the rate code won't produce valid rates until Monday online:confused: I got the e-mail everyone's referring to and it seemed very clear to me - Preview Sale is Monday the 4th May, Sale 5th May. Why do so many posters here seem puzzled that they can't get any answers from TAs or NCL re: sale prices and/or don't see any price reductions online yet? Today is the 1st of May - Preview Sale - Monday, 4th May - I'll be looking at prices on Monday. If I'm wrong and there is a way to preview a preview then, please let me know? We've got a cruise booked for October but I'm never adverse to checking out other tempting offerings from NCL;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Dreams Posted May 2, 2009 #38 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Just noticed this morning that the price for the AC suite on the Spirit has gone up from yesterday. Will NCL raise prices to be able to lower prices for the one day sale? Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surroundedbyboys Posted May 2, 2009 #41 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I'm among those confused about how people are getting rates already? Won't the lower prices show up on the 4th & 5th? If the prices are the same right now, isn't that because it's not showing the sale prices?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapichapo Posted May 2, 2009 #42 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I don't know, but when the last "sale" happened, I looked before and during the "promotion" and nothing happened - I never figured out how to see the promotion, I don't think there was any. I asked in CC as well but I don't think there was any promotion. Nobody understood where the promotion was or how to use it. They just say that but in the end the prices are always the same. They probably don't realise that they give a bad image of themselves, irritate clients who have already booked who think they did a bad deal and waste everybody's time. I guess it must make them earn more costumers but I wonder if it's worth it due to all the bad image they "promote". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinker Posted May 3, 2009 #44 Share Posted May 3, 2009 It has been my experience that the best prices during this "sale" will be on sailings not as popular as others and is not an across the board event. Of the more popular sailing dates, the prices will be put up $100 or so per person in the next couple of days and during the "sale" they will be on "sale" for the same as they are now. I have watched this happen again and again but we still like NCL very much so I just book our cruises when I feel comfortable with a price. It does work out a little bit better if the "sale" included an OBC. I would still rather have a reduced fare than an reduced deposit or OBC.

cynbar Posted May 3, 2009 #45 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I posted here at the time of the last 1 day "sale" and was actually quite annoyed --- we were flexible with dates and still couldn't find any savings on a cruise we were interested in. The only real savings at that time were on the smaller ships on the less desirable dates --- an early May cruise to Bermuda on the Majesty, for instance. Anyway, I'll be looking closely but I'm not too optimistic....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pghflyer Posted May 4, 2009 #48 Share Posted May 4, 2009 With the code found on the promo page, I get the following error this morning: "Promo code not found. Best Fare rates are being presented." Otherwise, the fares look the same, some even higher, than they have been the last couple of weeks. Is the private preview only for TA, and I should contact them? As others have hinted, this sale is as clear as mud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have hinted, this sale is as clear as mud. I just checked this morning, (5/4) and the prices are the same; so where's the big savings. I checked three cruises to the Bahamas, 7/27, 8/3, 8/10 and the prices are the same as what I saw over the weekend. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
