Confused

[Redtravel]

We called our TA Wednesday to book a cruise that included the complimentary all inclusive. Yesterday that same cruise was on 7 for 7. The basic cruise price was less than the Wednesday price. However, it doesn’t include the free all inclusive . To buy the all inclusive adds a huge amount to the price.  I am confused. The sale price is higher than the regular price?

For some, the lower price without all inclusive may be a better deal. We don't drink much and have been fine cruising without on-board internet so as long as the price difference is more than the gratuities plus a bit for drinks, we would probably have preferred that even before we were both 4-star. Now that we are 4-star, we get internet for free so we wouldn't even lose that with the 7-for-7.

Usually the 7 for 7 fares do not combine with other offers. You have to do the math to see what works best for you,

One door closes, another door opens.  One sale ends, another sale begins.

It doesn’t matter. TA cannot get through to WS. I left a call back on WS.  
It doesn’t feel right.  Will look at my other cruise favorites.  Can’t book a cruise if the cruise line doesn’t answer.  Not meant to be.

My TA had to leave a call back number this afternoon.   He did get called back and we got the issue resolved.

The booking engine part of the website has been down for over a month – today it's back (or at least the part for booked cruises, which is all I checked).  So the 'extra long hold times' should be going down.

Waited a long time. I did get call back.  Booked. Now for air.
