The last time they ran this promotion, I was out also. So I had one taken off a cruise that was almost a year out (June 2024) that I had two applied to and had it applied to the closer cruise (February 2024) that had two on it making it three . Then I bought more on our August 2023 cruise to cover all of the cabins for June 2024 cruise just in case they ran the promotion again.
We had five club balcony suites booked on portside deck 15 since February 2022. Then this past July we received notification of them all being moved to another deck. I had to have my PCC re-assign them to another location as I was not thrilled where they re-assigned them . Still not too thrilled, but I know I will be happy once we are on board. This is for our June 2024 cruise.
Just checked my excel spreadsheet for that cruise and we saved $3,416.29 with eight price drops before final payment and then received a FCC for $640 after final payment which we applied to our cruise this past August.
If memory serves me correct, I re-priced seven times for a total of over $3500 for the cruise we took this past March. And the cruise was only booked 11 months in advance.
Triple up as in being able to apply three Certificates, correct? This will save me $500 (net) for our June Bermuda cruise as I am paying for four cabins.
And thank you for posting it!
Our 2025 Alaska cruise on the Encore went down $143. Since we are paying for three cabins, I was very happy. But honestly, I am happy with any price reduction.
I do price check every morning with my first cup of coffee. It takes about 10 minutes to check everything we have booked (hotels, flights) and everything we are interested in.
Same for my family; however, we would still buy the passes even if we are in the Haven. The Haven sundeck was just not a great experience for us. Not enough comfortable loungers and non existent bar service.
I guess it depends on the sailing because on all of our Vibe sailings, there were pastries and coffee in the morning, then fruit and cookies in the afternoon. Once on the Escape in 2019 on a Bermuda run, they even let us order off the Haven snack menu. However, I have only seen that once.
I am wondering if only the ships that have the expanded Vibe have some passes held back. Holding back passes sorta brings back the race to obtain passes. Just very happy we have them already for both our 2024 cruises which are on the Joy and Encore.
