Getting discouraged

[singbluesilver1]

Seems like everyone is getting rate reductions or upgrade calls

 

We're sailing two weeks from Sunday on the pride and it's more money than we booked!

 

No reductions at all. Our pvp said there are about sixty empty balcony cabins so no idea why they are going up in price this close to sail date.

 

 

Trying hard not to be bummed

Why would you be bummed? I'd be happy I booked when I did, if prices went up.

 

I would never book with the expectation of getting a reduction/OBC. I booked 'cause I was happy with the price it was when I booked. If I end up getting a lower rate, it's just a bonus. But I certainly wouldn't be bummed if I didn't get one.

Right on! If the OP is bummed now it will affect his/her attitude for the entire cruise. In 2012 I cruised in a cabin that went down $900 and I had to fight for a $100 OBC. I was bitter and did not enjoy my cruise as I should have.

It won't effect my attitude on the cruise, I know I'll have a good time

Don't be bummed OP. Look at this way: you booked at a lower price in the first place. I haven't gotten any and this is the first time I've booked early saver. For as many posts you see about drops, keep in mind that it still doesn't happen for everyone. Plus you still have a few weeks. Never know.

 

Enjoy your cruise. That's most important.

EXACTLY! Always book with the price you can live with. Everthing else is just frosting on the cake. (Some cakes are better without frosting).

Maybe you were a really smart shopper to begin with and booked a really good deal, and the others who you are reading about paid too much to begin with and are getting some of what they overpaid to begin with back.

 

Prices have been trending up this year.

Have a great trip! If you get an upgrade or OBC, cool.

 

But either way, you're going on a cruise!!

This is usually correct:) If your cruise is only going up in price then you got a bargain price to start with.

"Getting discouraged " Huh ?

"Trying hard not to be bummed " What?

 

Get over it ! You're going on a cruise.

My cruise in August steadily went up from when I booked in January.

[jedreyling]

I know I'll have a good time !!!!!

[Jimmy Geegitz]

Are you checking the right cruise? You said you are sailing the Pride but your signature says your are going on the Splendor.

[singbluesilver1]

Yeah I just need to change my signature

 

Thanks though!

Mine has gone up over $500 pp for an inside cabin.,,

We have booked for November and the price of our cruise has more than doubled. I know our ES booking will not result in any OBC, but am HAPPY happy happy that we got such a good rate at the beginning.

[yvrcruiser62]

I just do not understand why people get upset about this.

 

I book a cruise at a price I am happy with, if I happen to get a price reduction or OBC that is a great bonus.

 

If you book and expect a price reduction or OBC, you are setting yourself up for disapointment.

Pricing usually only go down during oct. For no and I noticed Feb for balitmore. Now that they are no

Longer cruising out of no all year round, look forward to higher pricesing.
