Going going gone sale

Are the F and F normally only for insides or do they have suites and balconies

 

Checked a bunch of sailings and if they are there they are there for nearly all categories.  Not a substantial amount of savings.  in most cases for suites it was less than $100pp savings.  Great if you were going to book anyway but your not going to find that amazing deal that you can't pass up buried in a F&F rate

Just checked and the F&F rates do not combine with anything,.  No Balcony, no seniors, no resident etc. 

And no shareholder OBC.

With your expert stalking and pouncing (still jealous of your Wonder price) you didn't need it.

The 1/5/24 weekend Freedom sailing is down to $189 for an inside. A few other shorties are decent deals.

I thought the GGG Sale flyer was posted on Thursday, or am I mistaken? It’s still the Nov 6-7 flyer. 

Ok, so what is GGG???

GGG = Going Going Gone.

It used to come out on Thursdays before COVID - after its return it moved days a few times before settling on Monday effective Tue-Wed.

Is the sheet usually updated every Monday? Or are some weeks skipped? I only see the Nov21-22 price list

Usually but it can be later on Monday. Try back this evening.

They keep changing the link address.

I don't know about GGG but last minute deals are a thing again.  Jumping on a ship this weekend at "old" rates, saw Liberty next week at $50 pp per night for 2 in a GTY cabin.  Saw some decent rates on Indy too.

 

It's that traditional slow period between US Thanksgiving and Christmas and there are deals out there.  For some reason though only a TA can find some of them, some aren't appearing on the public website.   My deal wasn't coded GGG.  

 

For Florida residents that have flexible last minute availability to cruise, it's almost like 2019 again, at least on a few ships.  Not so much Port Canaveral though.

Yesterday I saw four nights on the Allure on 12/4/23 for $205 fare, total just over $600 for two in an inside guarantee. This morning it is $399 fare, total for two $976. Apparently it was spotted and booked by some during the temporary price drop. 
 

I still see November 21 & 22 on GGG. They aren't as good about posting at a set time as they were pre-pandemic.

And sometimes, the GGG editor takes the week off.

Possibly on a dirt-cheap last minute cruise 😂

Yep. There have been a few over the last few months but not many,

$659 for an 8 night Symphony southern itinerary on Feb 10 looks amazing.

WOOHOO !!!   Good eye.

[twangster]

Last night I found a Liberty rate of $374 all in solo in a connecting promenade cabin, four nights leaving Monday but couldn't make it work.  Hoping this is a sign of things to come (back).

I see $215 now with a small Florida resident discount (it was $228 without). Just in case anyone is interested. $607.98 for two.

More 1st world problems? 😁

 

I'll be working and waiting until March for my next cruise.😭

The editor is back to work this week - a couple of Explorer sailings are decent deals.

[Biker19]

The flier seems to have some issues like the first and second page dates don't match and the effective date moved to Mon/Tue instead of Tue/Wed.

The Voyager 1/14.2024 sailing JS price, if correct, would be a good deal.

The flier editor fixed the effective date on the first page of the flier but not the second.🙄
