SALAD MUNCHER Posted November 4, 2010 #1 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I just checked on a TA website to see how many grill cabins are still available on this cruise - I was surprised to see they are selling Q7 and Q6 suites for over £1000 less than P2 and P1 suites?? What's the logic in this? Does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMac1953 Posted November 4, 2010 #2 Share Posted November 4, 2010 This type of offer is quite normal. If you see and like it, then go for it! They don't tend to hang around, and the prices may just as easily jump back up. I've seen prices move twice in one day. Cunard call it "fluid pricing".

SeaPeaInn Posted November 4, 2010 #3 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Prices on the US site are not reflecting this. They are the same as the past two weeks. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCC retired Posted November 4, 2010 #4 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I just checked the US TA site (POLAR) for this sailing. Yes , those are FLASH rates (category guarantee ,new bookings only). Yes there is availability. These are the FLASH rates for this sailing: Inside from $799p/p Oceanview from $1049p/p Balcony from $1099p/p Princess from $2699p/p Queens from $3599p/p plus $79.95 tax and $42.35 fuel chg. Any US TA will have access to these FLASH rates and perhaps an additional discount or OBC ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for this infomation. However, in the UK Q6 and Q7 are currently selling at around £1,750 per person, P2 are around £2,750 and P1 are even more expensive! I still cannot grasp the logic of this as there are still a few P1 cabins showing as available so it's not as if they don't have availalbility in PG. If they want to fill up QG why not offer upgrades to currently booked passengers down the line, this would leave the cheaper end available and more attractive to would be passengers, after all they already have the cash from those already booked!

SeaPeaInn Posted November 5, 2010 #7 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I have found that when a category goes to waitlist status they usually up the price to the full list price. When that happens I have seen the price we paid for that category to double what we actually paid for it. The price we paid for a Q6 in May for the Nov. 27 cruise is still less than is now posted on the site. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
