I think that it does pay to call the cruise line for a price check when you are inside the final payment window. if you booked directly in this non refundable window. Or they could loose you to another cruise line or to another vacation options. Once the ship sails, the cabin inventory looses all value.

 

We have noticed an increase, in some instances significant, in mass market cruise prices over the past two years. This includes where we typically shop...inside the final payment window. We are doing less cruising and more independent land travel and AI's.

Sorry, but what is this payment window regarding inside or outside this window?

Yes, we usually ask them to remove all the items of the mini-bar.

We booked a cruise with NCL and were checking in online. We saw the following: "5. Limitations and Disclaimers of Liability: (a) The Carrier and the Guest hereby agree there is no warranty, whether express or implied, as to the fitness, seaworthiness, or condition of the vessel....."

It seems like a no brainer - they should supply a seaworthy vessel for which we pay hundreds of dollars to cruise on. They want us to agree that their vessel may not be fit or seaworthy as a condition of us taking the cruise. After very long on hold, they told my husband that all of their agreements say this and that if he sailed with them before, he signed that as well. Maybe he did and maybe he didn't, but this is too stark.

Please, what do other people think?
