New website and prices

[paradise825]

Did a mock booking, not sure if I like the new site. Also prices have gone way up on our booked cruises. Anyone else see this.

The cruise ive been thinking of booking for a couple weeks is still the same price. Your ship may just be closer to sold out now and the price has gone up.

I kind of like the new format, I think lol. We actually dropped another $10/pp yesterday and $10/pp last week. So far we are up to $272 obc for our cruise on the Pride for February 22nd.

It is the booking portion that has changed, you have to get through the screen where it asked # of cruisers, dates, etc. and then it takes you to the new screens.

nope.. not a fan!! Though my prices have not changed!

[snc_cam]

I agree. Not sure what is different on the website. Seeing the same layout as the past few months.

 

And prices will fluctuate with demand.

Not seeing anything different and I went through a full mock booking checking prices. Cleared cookies and everything. I don't see any new format. Prices are the same but they dropped just last week, so.....

I just did a full mock booking as well and nothing looks different on my end. I'm wondering if they were testing the new look this morning and they are back to the old look for now. Because the old version is definitely up and running right now.

Yes, they must have reverted back to the old booking version because I did see it this morning also. I guess they must have gotten complaints or something.

I was able to see it briefly this morning, but it's gone now. Not a fan. I don't think all the available rooms were showing.

[Spudder]

Yup, its gone now...

Fare viewer much easier than mock booking. Just got my third price drop on our June cruise. So far I've saved $340.00 plus got $60.00 OBC since original booking.

I saw it this morning also. Definitely not a fan.

I don't use fare viewer because, last time I checked, it does not show taxes and fees and sometimes those change which affect your total.

 

Over the past month I've noticed small fluctuations down and up again.

[cruizinisthebest]

Not a fan of fare viewer either. So long as I know my cabin category, I'll check for price drops up against a mock booking. Much easier to understand in my opinion.

For what it's worth...

 

I would check both (mock booking and fare viewer).

 

For the price drop I just got last week, mock booking rate showed higher than my original price, but fare viewer showed lower. I received a credit for the amount shown on Fare viewer and so did 2 other couples we are traveling with.

Same here...same price as the last time I looked. You may be right about being closer to sold out.

Yeah, nothing new here either..

I agree with you, jazm2011.

 

We booked Early Saver last January for our upcoming January B2B, and received a price dropped to Military. A couple of weeks ago I checked on our 1/24/15 cruise through CCL (not Fareviewer) and a Casino Rate was available which gave us $328 OBC. And this offer was just 2 weeks ago. I'm so glad we booked ES. Military & Casino Rate do not show up on Fareviewer. So I've learned to check both sites.

When you book a cruise how do you need to book it so you can go back and get OBC for price drop...I heard if you use some of the specials like early saver etc you can't?
