xostacylee Posted June 19, 2013 #1 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I know there have been a ton of posts on the fall sale going on right now, so my apologies for adding another one to the list. I'm booked ES. Right now we're sitting at $1267 ($1317-$50 OBC) and with the Fall Sale, it's $1257. I know it's not a huge jump, and we'd lose our OBC, but hey it's still money we could use on something else. My only concern, and question for all you brilliant people, is... is it worth it? I've heard mixed reviews about using the OBC for alcohol (which is what we would primarily use it for as there are three of us), and we haven't made final payment yet, so it'd be nice to pay less when the final payment is due. Also, the ONLY details I find are "Save up to $400 per stateroom and get 50% reduced deposit when you sail between Sep. 1, 2013 and Feb. 28, 2014." We've paid $750 already, so I'm worried our final payment would be bumped up or we'd owe more. Anyone know how this works? EDIT: We were also able to select our stateroom (deluxe OV) and don't want to lose that option either. Thanks! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonnys Posted June 19, 2013 #2 Share Posted June 19, 2013 As long as you have a full deposit paid, nothing else should change. Your final pmt. date stays the same. The only thing you will lose is the OBC but you will owe less. As for if you should do it, that is a matter of personal preference. Would you rather pay CCL less but have no OBC or pay more and have a bit of OBC? I personally would rather pay less...no need to give more of your money than you have to.

jcearth Posted June 19, 2013 #3 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Absolutely , 100% worth it. Why would you pay even 1 penny more for your cruise than you had to? Also, don't think that that rate won't come down even further after final payment, because more than likely, it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovebelle Posted June 19, 2013 #4 Share Posted June 19, 2013 The bottom line is you are saving more money. So yes, its worth it. Instead of just $50 OBC, now you have an additional $60 you can put aside for spending onboard :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeeiMeei Posted June 19, 2013 #5 Share Posted June 19, 2013 You can get the same rate as the Fall Sale with your ES price protection. Maybe I'm not understanding. :confused: I'm still kind of a newbie. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xostacylee Posted June 19, 2013 Author #6 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I guess I was just worried about losing our room selection (although we would still be in the deluxe OV category) or having to pay more now. I went ahead and entered it. Thanks guys!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
