Rare steve4031 Posted March 30, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I was thinking of retiring to Florida at some point. One big reason is the opportunity to cruise with out flying in the day before. I was curious about people's experience with pack n go. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobandsherry Posted March 30, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 30, 2018 We retired in FL a couple years ago, still waiting for a decent pack and go rate. [emoji39]. Really haven't seen anything spectacular with prices. Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wemjam Posted March 30, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 30, 2018 The cheapest cruise we ever got was a 3 dayer for $129 about 4-5 years ago now though. Of course for us we are in Michigan and had to pay for airfare too, but we got that for a great rate Booked and sailed wihin a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobandsherry Posted March 30, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 30, 2018 We do see a lot of last minute deals that cruise out of CA, but nothing similar do far for FL. Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMAE Posted March 31, 2018 #7 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Cheapest we had was one of our winter 7 day Pride cruises. We booked about two weeks before the sailing date and we got a balcony for under $500. I think is was $475.

grandmarnnurse Posted March 31, 2018 #8 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I believe NCL offers some Sail Away offers, which are last minute cruise deals. I’ve never taken advantage of them because the cost of flying somewhere to catch a cruise is what keeps us from sailing more than once per year. Back in 2004, we were offered a Past Cruisers cruise from NYC to Nova Scotia on the Carnival Victory for only about $400 total for a 4 or 5 day cruise (can’t remember exactly how many days) Since we live in NYS, we drove, and saved the air fare.

Expat Cruise Posted March 31, 2018 #13 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Care to share info on shareholder discount? I'm shareholder and have never seen any discount offered, only $100 OBC.

bobandsherry Posted March 31, 2018 #14 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Thanks Expat, as I mentioned I'm aware of the OBC for shareholders, have used that perk many times. But I don't consider OBC a discount on price of cruise which is what the poster mentioned. Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobandsherry Posted March 31, 2018 #15 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I wonder if the OBC was confused with some kind of discount. I've never heard of the OBC being used against the cost of the cruise.Me neither which is why I had to ask.
