bigbeergut Posted July 24, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 24, 2018 So the current offer ends 31st July. Wonder whats next. Any thoughts....any inside info? I'm not sure but I'm hoping for something decent. I've been looking a couple of cruises in early November and the prices are really high and there are plenty of empty cabins. I'm hoping for some decent price drops as we pass final payment and the addition of a good promotion would be great. Otherwise, Im staying home.

lysolqn Posted July 31, 2018 #10 Share Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) Love cruising, cruise often and have nothing against the cruise industry but only in "cruise-speak" is hiking the price of a cabin to include the cost of "free" perks considered a sale or special promotion. In any other industry it would be considered a questionable marketing technique. It seems like there's a new sale or promo being offered just about every week - by Celebrity and its competition. Sales and promos may get new names and the offerings may differ one to the other slightly but with few exceptions, when everything is on sale all the time, nothing is ever really on sale at all. Wish the industry would go back to the old pricing formula - high season, low season, add $100 for holiday sailings. JMHO.

Barwick Cruiser Posted August 1, 2018 #14 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Def nothing new. I've been watching a Aus/NZ cruise for Dec 2019 which is included in the Seven Seas promo...it's the exact same price with one perk as it was yesterday before this latest promo! Was hoping for a sale on dining packages...would like to book one for my upcoming Reflection in Jan...might have to just bite the bullet and book and hope for a sale before we sail.

cheeseheads4ever Posted August 1, 2018 #15 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Yep! Same old thing. No difference in pricing on the cruises Ive been checking lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champagne Cruiser Posted August 2, 2018 #16 Share Posted August 2, 2018 The cruise I have been checking went up $200 pp although the guarantee (no perks) stayed the same for an AQ2. There are 24 cabins open and the cruise leaves on August 19. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandgeezer Posted August 2, 2018 #17 Share Posted August 2, 2018 The cruise I have been checking went up $200 pp although the guarantee (no perks) stayed the same for an AQ2. There are 24 cabins open and the cruise leaves on August 19. Go figure. The Equinox leaves on August 11, ten days from today and a popular web site shows 127 balconys still available. It’s been on the x-citing deals for the past 5-6 weeks for $749 p.p. any balcony, with no perks. I couldn’t access the u.k. site to get a more accurate count. Maybe they are going to send them out with empty cabins rather than discounting them to fill the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare villauk Posted August 2, 2018 #19 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Kk99, thanks for posting the links ;). It appears that X are already discounting the Equinox sailings for next year as they must presume they will have problems selling them like this year (as per Grandgeezer’s post below). Shall we start putting bets on now for how long it will take them to redeploy her back to Europe for the summer :p? Perhaps X would fare better if they introduced a few exciting itineraries for her instead :confused:?

European site is showing over 100 balconies still available. I note there are a lot of guarantees being offered. Does X offer standby rates for employees/travel professionals?

We will watch this space:cool: Perhaps X would fare better if they introduced a few exciting itineraries for her instead :confused:? Hmm. I wonder how popular the non refundable deposit promotion will be with $100 admin fee to change. I know this is in line with European and Australian bookings but the prime target market for Caribbean sailings is surely US/Canada? Agree a couple of exciting itineraries, especially the western would be more enticing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
