Rahway742 Posted June 19, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Looking to do this cruise on the escape leaving 8/19/17 Miami (Florida); Roatan, Bay Islands(Honduras); Harvest Caye (Belize); Costa Maya (Mexico); Cozumel(Mexico); DISEMBARK Miami (Florida) been looking at the prices but for a studio it is 1708 with drinks and taxes included my question is do you think this cruise will drop in price. My friends are doing this cruise and have booked already but I cant find a partner to go with so Im booking a studio hopefully. Live in NJ so flight is about 300 and excursions and stuff would be like 400 for the week. so 2400 is alot. any advice is appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sauer-kraut Posted June 19, 2017 #4 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Have you priced doing a guaranteed inside with one passenger? Sometimes you might come in cheaper even paying the double fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ManyCruises Posted June 19, 2017 #5 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Not to rush you but dont forget since studios are limited they may sell out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islesdave Posted June 20, 2017 #6 Share Posted June 20, 2017 The days of the fire-sale cheap cabins for last minute travel is just about done, if not totally done. I don't see the price dropping much, maybe $100. It's still "peak" summer travel season until the end of August pretty much as schools are still out on summer break for most of the country. I'm on the same cruise 2 weeks before. I keep checking for a price drop, and it's more expensive now than it was when I booked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surprised if the price comes down, especially since it is already past final payment. For what it is worth you don't really need any excursions on that itinerary. If you want beach days you can probably get away with under $200 total for your off the ship expenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even on non-Norwegian cruises, those days are over. They have to supply CBP with a manifest of passengers I think 72 hours prior to departure.

squick64 Posted June 21, 2017 #12 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I'm on the previous week's cruise, and the price has gone up since I booked, by $150 (studio). It hasn't gotten any higher, but it's remained at that higher price. I'd be surprised if it dropped at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. They can call whomever they booked it with (if they used a travel agent, all changes must be initiated by the agent, not NCL, the agent owns the booking). If the room has capacity and the lifeboats have capacity, you can be added at the extra person rate plus taxes/fees. If you book this way, you will not get the UBP as a perk (only first 2 get). Maybe you can find another friend to go with and book a regular room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
