Free At Sea promotion

[ray98]

I have decided to book a cruise somewhere in the February time frame. Anyone have any ideas how the promotion will likely change next month? It will be a last minute booking either way so booking today or next month won't really make a difference as it goes to deposits and such. I'm just wonder if anything better will pop up as a Free At Sea selection such as prepaid gratuities or something.

The perks just switched from prepaid grats to excursion credit in December so doubtful it will change again - the free at sea perks usually are the same for a few months.

Yes the prepaid gratuities perk just ended on November 30th. This new promotion (with shore excursion credit instead) is going through January 16, 2017.

It depends, they used to tweak it every month or so, and they used to do one-day and one-week offers in the middle of an ongoing promo. For the past several months the promo has stayed mostly the same for longer stretches of time, as khaide612 said.

 

But with the holidays coming up, and "wave season", who knows what they will do.

 

Keep in mind that even with a last-minute booking, you can still use the courtesy hold trick, or take advantage of the 24-hour free cancellation window, if you want to hedge your bets between one promo and the next.

Ok....good to know. Thanks. Hopefully they will bring it back if I'm lucky.

They could bring back the arcade credit. Or the photo package. In place of dining or drinking.
