Panama Canal price drop

[hunt182644]

Planning a Feb. Canal cruise on the Statendam. Cabin choice not all that important. Have been tracking prices so far one price drop. Anyone have any idea on when Hal usually drops prices further?

The most common time for price drops is after final payment date. Of course, the cabin selection is less and you may not see a substantial rate drop so it's always a guessing game.

 

If you are firm about sailing a set date, you should watch cabin availability and act when you see the ship filling up.

 

Also, if you will need to purchase air, those fares may go up closer to your travel date so any savings you might get for the cruise could be eaten up by higher air fare.

After final payment due date -- about 70 days before the cruise is to sail -- sometimes there is a price drop.

 

 

If there is a price drop after final payment -- it is usually only for new bookings.

 

 

If you don't care what type of cabin you want -- then you can wait and see what happens.

We booked our Oct/2011 Panama Canal cruise in Jan. Four (4) price drops prior to final payment. Total -$2000 each.
