Advantage of booking next cruise while onboard??

[stacied68]

My husband and I are going on a 3 night cruise next month. We have already picked out a cruise for the spring. Should we book it now or wait and book it while on our cruise?

 

Thanks

You might be able to swing a deal at the "Cruise Again" desk (or whatever they call it this week). People on here say you can get the same deal as long as you book within the 2 weeks following your cruise. It's free to talk to them, and if they can throw in some OBC or a free upgrade, it might be worth it to book on the ship. If you know what cruise you want to take and the dates, you could try something like, "If you can throw in $200 OBC and a 2 category upgrade, I'll book right now." Can't hurt to ask!

There are no additional deals to be had.

 

OP, if you book onboard or within 2 weeks after sailing, you will get an Early Saver offer with $50 OBC. This is different than what was offered in the past. You must book Early Saver, along with all of the restrictions associated with that fare. The OBC does not fluctuate with the length of the cruise, as it had in the past. Now it is strictly $50 per cabin.

Or $100 for suites. We just got off the Sunshine in early October. We have 3 additional cruises booked and was able to price match all 3 + get $100 OBC. So basically all 3 cruises went down about $120 and we got $100 OBC.

 

ONBOARD CREDIT $ 100

 

EARLY SAVER FUTURE CRUISE SUITE OFFER RATE APPLIED

 

Plus 50% reduced deposits.

I wish they would bring back the Future Cruise Certificates!

That is one of the reasons we do most of our cruising on Princess these days. Also FCC acts as full deposit.

 

After a few years of no FCC's think they will not be bringing them back.
