Some really cheap prices on Grandeur and the 12/10 Anthem sailing is under $55 pppd. Symphony made the flier but no deals there.
During President chat, MB said Grandeur wasn't very profitable, but they couldnt raise prices.

A somewhat lengthy list this week which includes a $199 Enchantment cruise (which seems to have higher than usual taxes).

I think we are on that cruise.  Taxes are $95

We have an Aft JS for $683 with $125 OBC

November and December are 2 of the slowest months, lots of deals to be had.

Agree, that's why I been sailing these months last 6 years, cheap! But if getting off ship right after Thanksgiving airports can be real busy, more so right before Christmas. At Fort Lauderdale line at airport was out the door, lucky was flying First Class got in shorter line. Was no seats at Gates...

I hadn't noticed the rather large disparity in port taxes between PE and POM sailings - not a big deal in the context of overall cruise price but it seems to be ~20% more at POM vs PE - gotta pay for that new terminal. No screaming deals, but a couple of Allure sailings have insides below $600 and one Vision sailing $400 insides.

Hey Biker... here's a short story to add a small wrinkle to the GGG "sale" last minute strategy....

 

Allure Nov & Dec sailings were showing up on the GGG flyer back in Oct. About 30 days prior to sailing they were taken off of the GGG Flyer as RCL began adding January 2019 sailings to the GGG flyer instead. I noted that without any RCL sale or GGG sale, there were still a good 50+ interior and 50+ OV cabins available on the Dec 9 sailing at great prices... even with the high amount of inventory they were no longer showing on the GGG sale. 

 

I wanted to pull the trigger, but I really wanted to wait until the following week for the Black Friday sale.Then all of a sudden one morning about 1/3 of the interior and 1/4 of the OV cabins were magically gone overnight. I immediately thought "there we go, RCL is pulling inventory to give away to CasinoRoyale or other freebies"... I see this all the time on almost every sailing I watch when I'm booking last minute, and I knew that most all the cabins would be gone in the next couple of days. I quickly called my TA to hold a specific cabin, and also asked if there was any way he can include any Black Friday deals that were to come the following week (I was booking the full week before Black Friday). Gratefully he was able to add the Black Friday $100 OBC to my total, plus the $25 from RCL, plus a $50 "Loyalty obc" that I get from my TA for every booking regardless of price...

 

total price taxes incl = $1400! less the $175 obc.

 

I booked Nov 19... 3 days later only about 10 each int &10 OV cabins left, price of the cruise up over $300 per person.

Today, 11 days later, one OV left. It pays to know the pricing of various cabin categories, as well as once a day viewing the cabin inventory to see if there are major changes even if the sailing is removed from the GGG flyer :classic_smile:

I don't have recent experience on availability/pricing, but in the past a few times I've noticed that the weekend before the GGG flier, some of the same prices were available (and without the "new bookings" only restriction).

 

Biker, whose more recent bookings have been a bit further out since that seems to be the "sweeter" spot.

With a D+ discount you can get an OV balcony with the larger balcony 1D for a total of $1611 on the 2/17/19 sailing.   Same price on the 1/20/19 sailing but for a CP balcony.  Those rates are listed on the flyer but looks like are already posted on their website at the $799 before discoun
