kimberlym4 Posted November 15, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) Not sure when/if they might begin but I've heard that there could be deals for Black Friday. Our 4-night January sailing on Mariner is holding constant at $83.99 for the deluxe drink package so far. Just wondering if over the next week or so anyone else notices any deals and what those deals might be.

So maybe the 21st-23rd we'll see some info. Hopefully I can reprice our 2023 cruises, and I typically wait for our soda packages until Black Friday as well.

How and why is Mariner so much more?? The pricing is baffling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max and Ruby Posted November 16, 2022 #11 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I look everyday. I have an Alaskan cruise and new excursions show up in general, but I have a list with prices and already I have saved without it being Black Friday. Excursions can be tricky because they can sell out and luckily I don't have an excursion with my whole party, so if I see a lower price I pretend to sign someone up to see if there are spots to cancel and rebook. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t get it either but I did get one this morning announcing early access to the Black Friday sale, and guess what? Their definition of "best" doesn't coincide with mine. Surprise, surprise. I can get $100 off an interior or an ocean view but as soon as I pick a balcony cabin that discount goes away, presumably because you can't use it in conjunction with the C&A balcony discount.

Dan Just for hope.....last year we got an AMAZING deal on lowering our cruise to Alaska last year Wednesday before thanksgiving for an inside, and then on Friday we saw an even better deal on a balcony.....the website was advertising “different” (named differently) sales both those days.... so so I encourage people to check every day! (I can’t remember the cruise planner sales, but we didn’t do any packages and only did two excursions with the line) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you! I went in and checked on the prices of my currently booked cruises. ALL but the Dec 2023 one were more. The Alaskan cruise was charging for 1 cabin ( 2 people) what I paid for for 2 cabins (4 people) back in April. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latebuyer Posted November 17, 2022 #25 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I agree cruises don’t seem cheaper to me. I’ll bet i’m going to be disappointed in the cruise planner black friday sale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
