Hey everyone! I’m definitely no newbie to cruising, especially Royal Caribbean, but over the last 15 years I’ve never paid attention to their sales and when is best to book. I’ve finally convinced my boyfriend to cruise with me (he was very against them) and figure if I’m going to take him on one I gotta do it right and want to take him on an Oasis class ship in an oceanview balcony room. Based on when works best for us over the next year or so, I saw Oasis of the Seas 7 night Caribbean sailing January 7, 2024 worked within our budget as of yesterday morning. Now I see that even though their sale doesn’t end until the 31st, the pricing jumped to $1000 more today which is outside of our budget now (which I totally understand that pricing can change at any time based on availability, I’m just shocked it jumped so high and not just for balcony rooms, it was all stateroom categories for various dates on that ship). I’m debating now booking Symphony of the Seas 6 night Caribbean sailing January 7, 2024 (which is basically the same itinerary just 1 less port/night). My question essentially is, what is the likelihood the 7 night drops back down in pricing over the next few weeks? I don’t know whether to secure the 6 night to be safe and have a cruise booked in general or take the chance to wait and see if the 7 night drops knowing the 6 night could raise in price too. I’m waiting for a travel agent to get back to me hopefully today, but just thought I’d check on this forum if anyone has any good advice when it comes to their sales and what I should do in this scenario. Thanks so much 🙂!
