Need help

[vent1020]

First off, I love you guys.  Been posting and MOSTLY reading on these boards for YEARS.  The information is so helpful.  So here's my question in the shortest form I can do..........

 

My mom turns 70 this year.  My two brothers and I decided we would pay to take her on a cruse with just the 4 of us.  We all are married and have kids, but decided it would be just us and our mom which we haven't had happen in 30 years or so.   That's the scenario.   We talked and decided on booking a Caribbean cruse next month on the Breakaway that leaves on the 10th.  So, here's my question.  We told her about it tonight and she was in tears, so happy.  Since we have a date that is this close, do we just book the rooms now(the next day or so) at the price currently listed or do we wait a week or two for a potential price drop.

 

I don't know if the prices drop significantly with only a few weeks to go or if it matters.  It seems like at this point there are still plenty of balconies left so maybe they do.

 

Thanks for any help.  Love you guys.

Book now, immediately.  You’ll net nothing by waiting.  This is a special trip for your family.  Will you save a $100 by waiting?  Maybe, but doubtful.

Book at a price that you feel comfortable with and don't look back.

 

Spend time preparing for a wonderful cruise instead of constantly checking and hoping for a price drop that may never come.

Book now.  You told her you are going.  Don’t gamble on this.  

 

Have a wonderful trip.

Book now and select the cabin locations you prefer.  If you wait, you may get a lower price but no choice on cabin location.  I would think you would all want to be close to each other and not scattered all over the ship.

 

Have a wonderful cruise!

I don’t see a Breakaway cruise departing on March 10th.

Yes, there is one - different itinerary to the 3rd and 17th March ones.

As other poster said, book now, and then plan and book dinners, excursions, etc. Get your mom involved so she will have her say 🙂 it's her 70th!

 

2 years ago DH celebrated his 70th on the Breakaway - we had a great time. Last year I celebrated my 60th on the Spirit and we had a great time too!

 

ENJOY!!
