Price drop?

We are booked on the Gem. We leave June 13th. Should there be a price drop coming soon?

Thanks

Depends on how booked the ship is. Tough to say since some schools will be closed (fuller ship) but some schools may still be in session. Keep watching!

You should NEVER expect a price drop. One may appear, or the price may go up. If you are concerned about a price drop you need to watch the prices daily.

I will say that you are booked in the high season and most of the ships have left the Caribbean for Europe and Alaska, so demand is high, and supply is low which means a price drop is not likely to happen.

I am booked and paid for. Just wondering about price drop cause I want to surprise my husband with up grading to a balcony room.

Not predictable--especially during the spring/summer out of NYC.

I would keep watching the price, and if the price you paid already is then the price of a higher category, by all means ask for the upgrade.

Thanks for the suggestion!

When would I know it has flat lined? And I can ask for a upgrade?

Come join us on the roll call for this cruise. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1955827

I am sure people will be posting there if they see any price drops

I don't think there will be a definite way of knowing whether it has flat-lined or not, but you can definitely request an upgrade for the difference in what you paid vs. your desired category. I've always had luck asking to pay to upgrade to a higher category once the prices drop, even after final payment—NCL gets more of your money, you get a better room, everyone's happy.

Keep watching prices, and call in to request an upgrade if they drop. The important thing is to check every day.

Sales prices happen if they have lots of extra rooms.

Price hikes happen if they have only a few rooms left.

Hard to say what would happen here.

Thanks I think I'm going to upgrade and hope for the best! If it drops then it does and I'll take the on board credit!

The prices went up significantly this week for the May 30 Sailing.

Schools are not out on June 13 in a lot of New England

Keep watching an I hope you snag

A break!

You can never tell when this will happen. The best you can do is keep your eye on the prices and see what happens. Usually a big drop, if at all, happens after final payment day. Are you expecting to take advantage of a price drop? If so, remember after final payment date, which should ba about now, most cruise lines won't give you the better rate: just like airlines, hotels and resorts won't. they usually will upgrade you Of course by mid June most schools are out and the tourist season really begins. I know there are some states and some school districts that do not get out by then, if for no other reason than making up snow days, but a lot of districts are out by late May.

I'm not expecting it but it would be nice just to use it for the upgrade.
