I have just spent about an hour reading this board and im no closer to putting it (sale pricing ,BoB, price drops,etc.) all together , if anything im more confused. My wife and I , are past final payment on, Riviera, in October , PH1, Athens to Trieste. Our first cruise since we tried it and didnt like it in the late 80S. I know ! a lot has changed. We travel a lot,always independently, international , A couple a times a year.So after a couple of less than perfect trips we decided to try doing it differently hence the cruise. haven't even been on the first one yet and im looking to do it again crazy,,! but its not entirely my fault. Every day there is something, booklet , mailer ,card in my mail box from O, Most of the time it doesnt get a second look as were booked.but the last on 4 category up whatever caught me, and i understand the hype ,someone here said its marketing to move less than desirable itineraries. also that its lower pricing on higher tier cabins, whatever anyway this booklet med 2025 voyages page 12 tenerife to lisbon caught my eye 10 days 9 ports 1 sea day 1 overnight only one place listed i ahve been to so pretty good itinerary for what we like to do and whats more its on a freshened up Marina , at the time of year we usually travel, so score. the cost is 6399 with free upgrade in ph1 which is exactly what the current cruise cost when i booked back in November on some kind of sale. with all that said asking advice for booking the Tenerife to Lisbon trip during this sale period or wait til im on board in October to gain a few xtra bucks thru maybe price drop and bob discount Ive read the thread here and im aware of the small % but then im running the risk of the ph's being sold out
