Cruise Price Drop Question?

brewtown · #1 (**permalink**) January 13th, 2009, 01:44 PM

Have been watching some dates for potential cruises,one in March and one in October.

We like to stay in a Grand or Owner Suite. Seems like there are lots of availability, but I have not seen any drops like people have said.

My question is,are most of the drops involving inside rooms etc. that they might have a bigger supply, and am I dreaming of ever seeing a reduction in OS or GS rooms?

Any experience with this would be appreciated.

If RCI is like Princess, they do not discount the full suites. If for some reason there are some available (usually not) a couple of weeks before the sail date, you might see a price drop.

Usually you will see price drops on these for things like Resident discount or senior discount. If you are interested in a cruise, get it booked! If the price drops you can call and get the lower price.

CQ is dead on (again)....my "GS" was just reduced $600 (300 each passenger) due to a senior rate. Fortunately it was combinable since we had already used a coupon and our "Crown & Anchor" discount. Hope you find what you are looking for, Robbie

The first thing to sell is the penthouse and the suites, Surprisely
they always sell out first. they almost never lower the prices . for
these staterooms.
