We saw a $200pp price drop on our GS on Explorer last December after final payment. We received an onboard credit. Then I noticed a FS for less than what we were paying for the GS at the reduced price. So we switched and got an additional $100pp OBC for a total of $600.

 

On the other hand our GS on Oasis for next December has gone up $800 since we booked last year. You never know, but it pays to watch and hope!

There was a general price drop on GS's on a 5 night Bermuda, which I reserved. They sold out really quickly.

Yes, for my Alaska cruise last year the price on GS dropped to below what we'd already booked - for a junior suite. And since the corner aft GS was available, it wasn't a hard decision to jump up to a GS.

They sure do. Had one on my Serenade sailing.:D

:D Had a drop of $750/person ($1500 total) on an upcoming 12 night Med. cruise this November. The price drop happened last Nov., 1 yr prior to sail date. I keep watching, but nothing since.

Hi,

 

Okay, you received a price drop for a cruise in Nov. Does that mean that they didn't think they could sell-out the GS before that time? I'm trying to understand why they would drop the price of a GS this far out. Help me out here. :0)

 

Thanks,

Why would they give a drop so far out? I think it's because suites aren't selling like they have in the past.

 

In the past when I've checked availability /prices, I've always noticed that the suites go fast, which would mean they'd never see a price drop. Over the last two years, though, the suites aren't going as fast. I think they're having more trouble selling the higher-priced rooms.

We got a price drop on our GS for the FOS. We're traviling in April, booked last July and got a $318 drop each in September. A nice $636 savings paid for our side trips & soft drink cards, still had money left.

I thought they were doubling suite deposits because the suites were in such demand. I'm confused.

[MrsPete]

Yeah, and they're charging a fee for Johnny Rockets because it's over-crowded.

 

They're charging double-deposits on suites for two reasons: 1) they need the money and 2) they want to dissuade people from booking a suite, then realizing around the 60-day mark that they can't afford it. When people "hold" expensive rooms for a long period of time and then drop them, it does hurt the company's chances of selling that suite for maximum profit.
