Question on WOW sale

[jean6060]

I have looked through the existing treads on the WOW sale

and have a question.

 

We are starting to plan a RCI Europe cruise for October of 2010.

It appears to me that the best pricing is using the WOW sale.

 

From the threads, it does not look like public notice is given

of these sales..that notice only goes to travel agents. Is this

correct? Also, do all travel agents get notice of the sale?

 

For cruises, we usually go direct to the cruise line, or shop

around on-line for best price. I prefer not to get locked in

with a travel agent at this time..so I am not sure how to

proceed at this time. How do I know the right timing to

get in touch with a TA.

 

Many thanks for any assistance.

The last WOW sale RCCL had i recieved an email from RCCL (i think it may have been from C&A) about it.

I am a member of C&A..so I will make sure I am on all e-mail lists.

Thanks again.

Travel Agents registered with Royal Caribbean do get notice of the WOW sale.

What better pricing?

There isn't anything different in pricing.

During the one day wow sale, you receive an on board credit and you only have to put 1/2 deposit down to reserve.

Your cruise could go up in price a lot more than the OBC you would receive would be by waiting.

There´s usually a huge advertising on top of this page when a WOW sale is comming.

However I´m not sure where you are getting the impression there´s any special pricing:confused: The WOW sale is half deposit, but you have to pay the cruise in full anyway, so final payment will be higher and then you get OBC which you can´t combine with anything else. It´s also often reported that prices go up just before WOW sales.:eek:

Yep...agree with what's been said, except for the price increase before a WOW sale. That was not my experience. I booked Explorer OTS for a cruise in October during a WOW sale, and the price stayed the same before and after for a long time. However, we recently got a great price drop ($170 pp)and we have the OBC, so it was a win, win for us. :)
