Best way to know when prices drop on booked cruise?

[Sigyn]

What's the best way to know if prices drop on a cruise I booked for 2024?

Then empty your list and try to add new cruises and get a message telling you your list is full. 🙄

Well there is that.

Go to Royal's website and price check?  

 

We booked through a TA, saved $2300 (vs. direct) over three cabins, but I noted what the 'current' RCI price would have been if we booked through them.  So I occasionally just check what Royal's price is and compare it to what I noted.

Book the best price, then never worry.

I will check prices on the Cruise line site regularly for any drops, then notify my TA for verification. I have already had 3 drops for our Explorer cruise next April.

I haven't seen a price drop on any of my cruises since last May.

Our TA takes care of that for us

Confirmed!  Or you'll get an "Unable to add" error.  It's consistently inconsistent.

You can usually get past Unable to Add by clearing your cache/cookies

How do you know you’ve booked the best price? Booking early isn’t always the best price as some people say.

Prices drop??? LOL.

I don't think you have to worry about that too much anymore.

Yes you do. Alaska prices have been going down. Rebooked twice and saved 400.

 

As far as watching for price drops there is no easy way. A watch list just gets you advertised price without crown and anchor discount, senior, or residency unless that is in there somewhere.

Keep doing mock bookings. There used to be some great third party monitoring services, but they have gone the way of the dinosaur, unfortunately.
