EbayCruiser Posted December 16, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Looking to book a Spring Break Cruise on Harmony. Is this a good time to book or do you think they will have another sale with better prices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare KmomChicago Posted December 16, 2018 #3 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Yes, what Biker said. Spring Break 2019? If so, prices could theoretically drop on some cabins in less than ideal locations, but the ship should be getting pretty close to full by this point so if it were me I would book now to get the cabin type you want before it's gone. In my experience prices go steadily up for high demand sailings during that last 60-90 days, which any spring break trip will be. In addition, the highest and lowest priced cabins tend to sell out first. I suppose others may have observed a different pattern but it held for us two years in a row on Carnival and then later on Royal. If it's for 2020 or 2021, then there is still a lot of time when they could run discounts and promotions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Book whever you want, and watch for price drops before final payment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EbayCruiser Posted December 16, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted December 16, 2018 We are looking at March 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Book when you can stomach the price. Check airfare to the appropriate airport, too. Airlines increase prices during spring break, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there'll be any price drops (doubtful for such a sailing) they sometimes happen about 60 days out. Check for inventory on the RCI UK site and if a certain category has lots of inventory you might luck out. Also, look for the deals on the GGG flier every Tuesday.

Rare h20skibum Posted December 16, 2018 #8 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Hotel prices are generally higher also, so factor that in. Hope you love lots of kids. This year on Allure during spring break, we had over 2000 kids onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted December 16, 2018 #9 Share Posted December 16, 2018 For our Christmas cruise on Allure we found that prices dropped at 30 days out for a couple of days then shot right back up. I only mention our Christmas cruise as it’s a prime time cruise as are March break cruises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going out of Galveston in March. Great fare on the cruise, decent airfare and 4 star hotel for less than $150 per night. We're going early in the month so fingers crossed not too many kiddos.

Rare BirdTravels Posted December 16, 2018 #13 Share Posted December 16, 2018 We sailed on the Allure this spring break. Airfare was outrageous. Hotel costs in FLL were outrageous. Drunken kids everywhere. Yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EbayCruiser Posted January 3, 2019 Author #14 Share Posted January 3, 2019 We booked the Nieuw Statendam for our spring break cruise. New ship and a lot less kids on board and they are having a great sale on this sailing. I am recovering from double knee replacement and feel a smaller ship and low key will be a lot better for my first cruise since surgery. Hoping to cruise on a Mega Ship next fall or winter.
