Head's Up - Cruise Planner Discounts On Deck September, 3, 2021

[footzz]

Cruise Planner Purchases are going to be discounted starting September 3, 2021 until September 13, 2021.  It'll be the usual % off sale and the discounts will vary by ship. As with all the % off sales, be sure to read the fine print and compare the final price to prior Cruise Planner purchases.

Which may or may not mean an actual decrease in the price of the item.

Indeed, hence "read the fine print"; of which is usually included: " Discounts apply to onboard prices".

Which probably means its the same "35% off sale" they had a week ago.... it does get a little tiresome.  Seems like the only true "sale" has been black friday which was advertised at 40% off.  Of course, this doesn't take into account the across the board 10% increase this past spring...

Apparently, math is hard to some people.

I am hoping for the $18 drink package sale again! 😂

Well, September 3 has arrived, and no great deals for either of our January cruises.  
 

Now to wait for Black Friday.

Too bad I cruise on black friday but I did snag the key for 16.99 so not too bad!

I know it’ll come as no surprise to many people here on CC, but the Cruise Planner “Sale” that supposedly started today, September 3, 2021, hasn’t changed any of the prices on either of our two upcoming cruises. In fact, there was no % off promotions in our Cruise Planner at all.

 

The flyer does state the offers are for “Select” sailings and “Discount varies by ship”, so it appears that neither of our bookings were included. The offers are supposed to continue until September 13, 2021, so just for grins, I’ll keep checking back to see if they actually do materialize.

 

Purely out of curiosity, did anyone following this thread actually have the “Sale” show up in their Cruise Planner?

Check back later in the day; sometimes they're slow to load in the new prices.

 

However, it appears this sale is the same as the one last week and the one 2 weeks before that.

Thank you for this. Just cancelled my original order and repurchased. Saved £100. Happy days! 😄

Lovely!

Looked at the cruise planner for Oasis Sept. 5 and no movement in prices.

I have the 35% off banner in my CP but alas it’s the same 35% they’ve been advertising for every sale since January 🙄.  At this point, I am resigned to pay $58 plus tip for DPB.  But I’m not going to book it until I absolutely have to.  No sense giving them $1700 (4 adults!) a minute before I have to.

And if it goes up and never comes back down?

[JillK]

Although we are a year out, I went through the shore excursions currently being offered this past weekend and did write down pricing for those we may be interested in. 

 

A few of the options in some of the ports are at a 20% discount but for the most part, the prices have remained static or in some instances have actually gone up by an average of $5! 

 

Definitely need to critically look at the pricing offered.

Yeah I know, rolling the dice here at least until Black Friday.  Cruise isn’t until March.

[Bananas27]

How much do you think the beverage package might be on Black Friday?   Currently shows $58 a day for my cruise at the end of January.  Doesn't seem like too much of a deal to me.

no change for our November cruise on Harmony 

[The Scurvy Pirate]

With this sale, some of my prices are actually higher than they were yesterday, with no sale... go figure.

[Jenna]

I've been monitoring the price of this one excursion for months - I had first saw it at $448 per person and I thought that was steep so I didn't purchase it then. Turns out that is the LOW price and ever since then it has been $720 or on "sale" for $682! I REALLY don't want to pay that much but honestly with each "sale" that comes I am losing hope that I'll ever see that $448 again. We sail in December and I worry it will be sold out by black friday. 😩

Nothing to write home about sadly. Still disappointed the UDP sold out a day before I was going to buy it.

Your guess is as good as anybody’s. For reference, for our Oct. 2021 cruise, the DBP has been fluctuating between $67 and $58 a day since June 2021. For our Jan. 2022 cruise the same package has remained at $50 a day since May 2021.

Same experience for me.  Wanted UDP but haven't even seen it offered in 6 months.
