I just tried it on the NCL gem, they had a price drop today on the owners suite on the 2/7/14 sailing. It does not show on your price drop page.

Might be helpful to add a link.

Hmmm...it doesn't differentiate between studio rooms and interior rooms. Just has an "interior" category.

 

Thanks for the info though.

Using a TA. I always check every week for price drops myself (just in case she misses something). I'm signed up for the CC price drop email, this is a great tool. However, I did check yesterday and the price itself did not change but they did increase the OBC's for my sailing. CC should add this to the tool.

thanks.. I don't know why the link didn't come up but I went back in and added one

What about OBC ?? A last minute cruise I'm watching just changed from twenty five dollars OBC to a hundred in OBC but the price remained the same .

[JuneauWhatIMean]

It's for price drops, not OBC. That's a horse of a different color. I think they're trying to keep it simple for the masses. Most of us know to check further on the details of any cruise we're interested in. ;)

 

I think it's a great new feature. I just hope it doesn't come back and bite them in the you-know-what. Folks always seem to find something to complain about. (Not you, biker :)).

 

Wow, I just tried it. It's fun! Thanks, Star , et al.

That's a great Idea

Is this direct price checking from each cruise line or is this attached to a certain TA that advertises on CC.

Will we be added to their mailing list or just emails from CC

[Host Star]

as far as I know its just emails from CC...
