skyeman27 Posted January 4, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Is it too early to expect to see Wave Season pricing from Carnival, or any other cruise line??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genesis803 Posted January 4, 2013 #2 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I've seen Wave sales from Princess, HAL, and Celebrity so far. Nothing from Carnival yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmaster150 Posted January 4, 2013 #3 Share Posted January 4, 2013 What is wave season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tapi Posted January 4, 2013 #4 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Wave season is the part of the year when cruise lines make most of their bookings (profits) for the year. If anything, prices will keep going up and up as the wave season gets into full swing (January through April) and inventory starts disappearing. Price drops might occur towards the end of wave season if sales goals haven't been fulfilled, but most likely, the best availability and pricing will be right now.

I booked a cruise in November for the end of March --7 day Legend solo in a balcony for right at $1300. By mid December same category was over $1700!

Rare Tapi Posted January 4, 2013 #7 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I've been getting calls and emails from PVPs daily since Jan 1' date=' makes you wonder! :p[/quote'] That's what they are trained to do during wave; to call pretty much every number in their database. That way, they may get someone who may have been thinking about booking their cruise online or through a TA to book through the PVP. The business is there, but the PVP's have to be aggressive to ensure that they get to "ride the wave". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfwench Posted January 4, 2013 #10 Share Posted January 4, 2013 wish the Alaska 2014 bookings on CCL, HAL, or Princess were 'waving' right now. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
