When to Book for Fall of 2013

[IrishLassie]

Does anyone have any thoughts about rates & when to book for a cruise in the fall of 2013? We want to go on Oasis or Allure. So far I haven't seen any good rates. :(

Mid summer of 2012, but that's gone so its pot luck now.there was a great rate on O for dec 2013 back in the early summer. I called a friend of mine to let him know. I think it was 800 for a D8.

If you're able to book quite late, I have noticed Oasis and Allure coming up pretty regularly in the Tuesday sales. You would be looking at booking maybe 1 to 2 months before sailing if you did this which I know doesn't suit everybody.

we already booked Oasis for Fall 2013...paying $1099/pp for a D 8...but will be watching for any price drops or Resident or Sr rates that we can benefit from...

 

Meanwhile we have the stateroom that we like already secured..!

What setsail said is pretty much dead on. At this point, if you are really trying for a good deal, you may have to wait until almost last minute or catch a sale during the summer.

I booked my September 2013 Allure cruise 4 months ago while onboard with the future cruise option. The rates for my cruise have only continued to increase since I booked. Good luck, maybe you can catch something during a Tuesday or Wow sale.

I was looking for early 2014. I have found the rates are cheaper right now for Jan/Feb 2014 than booking last minute for Jan/Feb 2013. It seems with these two ships booking far in advance is better. I haven't seen any real deals on the last minute bookings like I do for other ships.

Thanks everyone for the reply's. I guess we'll just keep checking & hope we can get a good deal. :)
