FreesiaE Posted May 6, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Back in March there was a "flash sale" where drink packages and shore excursions were on a discount. Is there any pattern to when this may happen again (if ever)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted May 7, 2018 #2 Share Posted May 7, 2018 No pattern than I can see. When there is a flash sale it is for selected sailing and doesn’t include everything. Maybe some excursions are discounted, could be Beverage packages or internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvcrusn Posted May 7, 2018 #3 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I've seen them show up every few months but with no reliable pattern of occurrence. There's usually up to 20% off some selected shore excursions, but the majority of discounts seems to be 5% and most excursions on most itineraries aren't discounted at all (at least the ones that interest us). There's also some discounts on dining and beverage packages. These start out for 72 hours but are often extended for an additional 24 hrs. recently.

jsf Posted May 7, 2018 #4 Share Posted May 7, 2018 It often depends on how fast the ship's cabins are selling, they might get people who are unsure to sign up for the deals. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elena7seas Posted May 10, 2018 #5 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Where do you see the notification of the flash sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted May 10, 2018 #6 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I read there was one now, it apparently was a banner on the Exciting Deals. I checked our Cruise Planner for our August cruise & the Premium beverage package was 25% off. That was the only booking we had that had a discount.

Marelaine Posted May 10, 2018 #7 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Where do you see the notification of the flash sale? I receive special offers emails. I also check my cruise planner on a regular basis to see if there are any offers that interest me. I have purchased 20% off deals for internet and excursions.

Rare Cruise Junky Posted May 10, 2018 #8 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I'd be keeping my eyes peeled as we're approaching Memorial Day. Usually a big sale weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvcrusn Posted May 10, 2018 #10 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Where do you see the notification of the flash sale? If you have your preferences set to receive emails you should get one announcing the sale or you could check the website. They usually happen over a weekend so checking weekly on Friday or Saturday should put you in the know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoedokey Posted May 10, 2018 #11 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I just logged into my cruise, and of course it says the booking is locked for twenty minutes. I figure it will locked for the next few days at least. What a joke. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil_G Posted May 11, 2018 #16 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Hmmm. Reductions aren't being highlighted for me. I'm being offered unlimited internet on a 14 night cruise for £183 / $219 per person. Is that a reduced price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We took advantage of a flash sale for an upcoming Asia cruise for March 28 2020...20% off. Great savings for overnight Beijing with hotel stay!
