needabreakcanada Posted May 17, 2012 #1 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Was wondering what the best OBC or price drop you have gotten back on a cruise? We have booked for 2014 and pondering what deals we may receive between now and then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlong1969 Posted May 17, 2012 #5 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Got a total of 420.00 off our D1 cabin on the September's Freedom of the Seas western itinerary. Our 3 nighter on Monarch we just completed in May dropped 200.00 total. This is the first time we have ever seen a drop... all of our other cruises went up in price.

Rare printingchick Posted May 17, 2012 #6 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I used credit card points to upgrade my inside cabin to an OV, then - through a series of both price drops and residency discounts - we ended up paying $499/per person for a seven-day cruise out of San Juan on a Deck 3 OV cabin. I'd booked the cruise using a NextCruise certificate so we also got $100 in OBC from RCL, and ANOTHER $100 OBC from my travel agent!! THAT was the very best deal EVER!!!

swcruise Posted May 17, 2012 #7 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Have never gotten price drops, but have always checked online, a bit OCD on that I'm afraid. and we have always gotten the best deals for the cruises we have selected with some OBC as a bonus. Happy Days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Recruit Posted May 17, 2012 #8 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Believe it or not our upcoming Canada/repo cruise on Brilliance in October has been quite interesting! We originally booked a D2 at $1729 pp. Then the price dropped to $1419 pp. Two weeks later it was now $1219 pp. Finally at the beginning of May we got a Military rate of $1049 pp! So all total we have saved $680 pp or a grand total of $1,360. All I can say is keep checking prices because if some cruises aren't selling the prices will drop dramatically (at least the non-suites seem to) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidils Posted May 17, 2012 #9 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Only about $50 a person. We did get however, $200 per cabin past passenger discount and we have $750 in OBC's from our credit card. Hopefully by the time we sail it will be more. I see some spa treatments in my future. :) Explorer out of Bayonne it keeps going up. Hoping for a possibitly to upgrade on the ship. If not we are happy with what we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BillOh Posted May 17, 2012 #11 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Was wondering what the best OBC or price drop you have gotten back on a cruise? We have booked for 2014 and pondering what deals we may receive between now and then? Booked Allure in Oct of 2010 for a May 2011 cruise. Price dropped and got $300OBC for staying in the same cabin. Add in $250OBC from the RC Visa, that was a fun week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celie1110 Posted May 17, 2012 #12 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Just this week- gave up a center hump E2 deluxe balcony for a guarantee balcony. Cabin assigned was a D2- 8 rooms away from original room. Room upgrade and a $600 savings!!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjaruse Posted May 17, 2012 #14 Share Posted May 17, 2012 When we first booked our cruise it was $3000 each for a balcony (Mediterranean honeymoon). However, a few months later I could get a balcony guarantee for $1500 a person. Thus, we saved $3000 total for the two of us. Do I still have my desirable 9th floor superior hump balcony cabin? No. However, I do have a deluxe cabin located pretty much under the hump on floor seven. For $3000 - I'll take it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
