I'm curious to see how many cabins open up after the 30 day deadline for final payments. I also wonder if they are limiting the number of passengers by having some cabins blocked out. I really hope our ship isn’t crowded. I’m not big on crowds plus I have balance issues and afraid someone might knock me over. I was supposed to be on the 1/29 Symphony with their 3400 guests but I changed to the Oasis. Hope to see you on the ship, I’m sailing solo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanydoc Posted February 1, 2022 Author #27 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) Unbelievably, I checked again today and it has dropped another $350! I’m shocked and pleasantly surprised. I have already called my TA and she has made the adjustment. Good luck to all! Edited February 1, 2022 by zanydoc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowds especially a lot of children make my balance challenged Mom very nervous as well. Do you have a “rollator” or walker that you bring with you?

We have a Junior Suite and sometimes there is just 1 available, other times 0. Also, the price our TA is lower than what I see when I do a dummy booking. Perhaps it’s giving us a diamond discount? I might need to ask her. To your first question, I think the answer is no. Unless you went to a suite guarantee, which Is a different category.

pepcab Posted February 3, 2022 #30 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I am soooooo glad I read this thread, checked our July 10 Voyager of the Seas Baltic cruise and saved $1400 CAN !!!! Thanks for the tip 🙂 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbeyg Posted February 3, 2022 #31 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Checked the pricing on WOTS for Dec, and it is insane! We are in a GS, originally booked on HOTS and moved to WOTS when the ships moved ports. Got a great price on the GS because of that. The CLS and OS just jumped from $8k to $12k for both cabins. 😳 Glad for those who had price drops today. 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I would just get OBC for the difference, but she was able to get me a refund for the amount that Royal says will post back to my original form of payment within 10 days (I won’t hold my breath on that time frame! 😂) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I basically search for our cruise - then start a mock booking for the same cabin type (in my case, OV Large Balcony). I get to the point where you add the names - and then check the left panel for the price. There were times there weren't any Large Balcony cabins. In those cases, I estimated based on what was shown for a regular OV Balcony. When I found a price drop - I called RC and requested a re-pricing. There used to be a site called Cruise fish that would check your cabin category and sailing for price drops (last used that I think in 2017?) - but it no longer exists. I sure miss Cruise Fish! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never found a site nor short-cut to help me with this task (with 3-4 cruises booked at a time, a short-cut would make it doable!). I usually check Vacations to Go and if less than I paid then I do a mock booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinMamainMN Posted February 9, 2022 #38 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Thanks for the tip! Just asked our TA to reprice ours. Not expecting anything, but it doesn't hurt to try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might need to ask her. I have the same question. When I go to check the current cruise price there are no more staterooms like mine that I can do a mock booking. I'm assuming I would have to call RC to check for price difference each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanydoc Posted February 14, 2022 Author #40 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I can’t believe I’m saying this...but my Odyssey March 12th cruise has just price dropped yet again, today! Another $170 this time! At this point they are almost paying me to go, 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks to all the CC peeps who have touted checking prices on a regular basis-it finally paid off. For a while the prices just kept going up higher and higher on this cruise, but today they finally dropped, so I emailed my TA and she made the adjustment. Yippee! 😁 If these ridiculous protocols don't get any better, I think you may see some additional price drops 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
