maui traveler Posted July 26, 2016 #26 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Less price drops this year then in the past...I would agree BUT...on Holland these loaded last week with my Mariner # and I jumped on one. Never have I seen this price in early August...even harder for a 3rd & 4th to a cabin...you must grab those cabins early. Regarding AK always cheaper ow trips exsist, but you need to figure the return air and atleast one night hotel in ANC or YVR... With that said, I live 20 minutes to the cruise in Seattle and have never done a ow...yet Below are some 6 day old quotes. I'm not a agent, just someone whom enjoys the power of the internet and looking for values...inside cabin will work just fine for this trip... 7-Day Alaska – Roundtrip Seattle Ship: ms Westerdam Inside stateroom (MM category): $639 per person Taxes, Fees, Port Expenses: $240.23 per person Total: $879.23 per person 7-Day Alaska – Roundtrip Seattle Ship: ms Amsterdam Inside stateroom (MM category): $559 per person Taxes, Fees, Port Expenses: $255.06 per person Total: $814.06 per person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked under my parents' mariner numbers just for giggles and they got those lower prices too as a casino rate. They were not available for me and are not for the majority of others.

maui traveler Posted July 27, 2016 #30 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Interesting...casino rate...my wife did leave some coins a few years back...not many actually but we also received an offer this past spring for May sailings that actually could have been tax only on a inside cabin...something like $99 on a veranda. That may explain it. I wish I could travel more in April/May...repositioning cruises interest us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smariner Posted July 28, 2016 Author #31 Share Posted July 28, 2016 As expected, I didn't get to see the casino rate as well :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smariner Posted August 4, 2016 Author #32 Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) Just keeping this thread posted -- I finally got a triple-occupancy interior cabin for $540/pp plus taxes for a sailing from Seattle-roundtrip (includes the discount from the TA), for the date that we wanted. Given the demand this year, I think this is a pretty decent price. Thanks everyone for the advice/tips...it's much appreciated.
