Ended up booking yesterday. Interestingly booking via the UK site is $400 cheaper than the AU page. 

Which sailing did you choose?

"Sale" does not mean every price is reduced.  Seriously, get a grip.

 

If Macy's is having a sale, do you pitch a fit if jeans are on sale but socks aren't?

RUDE!!🤬

Kathscof is correct. I call every month or when a sale is on to see if I can get a drop in price. Most of the time, it may only be a small amount but it does add up. One thing that was shared with me is that the closer it gets to the sailing date, on the newer ships at least, the total cruise fare increases exponentially, so a sale doesn't get the price down to the level of the original booking. And if the class of staterooms is sold out, you are out of luck because they have nothing to compare the original cost with. 

That's awesome! I didn't realize I could do that. So I need to have already made final payment for our 09/25/2022 sailing to get a price adjustment? I only have deposit down right now.

You can do it now...and again later too. I called for a price adjustment prior to my final payment and my total due was reduced by almost $500. I called back again later after my final payment and received $60 in OBC. Every little bit helps...It's definitely worth checking!

No, don’t make final payment until you have to- until then the price drops will lower you final payment.

Traditionally before final payment they'd adjust your price to the new one after final payment you could upgrade if a category if the prices worked out (but sometimes prices after final were new bookings only pricing) otherwise you were out of luck. 

 

If you booked under CWC you can still get the lower price before final, but after final you get OBC for price drops. I think if you paid in full before final you get obc instead of a refund but I'm not sure on that. 

sorry but what is CWC?

Thank you!!!!  This is a game changer.  I booked one on Thanksgiving Day and am getting cold feet to do it solo.

 

What a shame that the "Next Cruise" person I booked with wasn't the one to tell me about this.  But it's the same person who assigned the wrong TA.  PLEASE LOOK CAREFULLY at your reservations.  It took two more trips back to them to (maybe) correct this.

 Hope you were able to get a better deal!

not sure it's been corrected yet and was the same deal as the cruise I was on while doing my next booking.
