No. Get the best
possible rate, with what you are seeing NOW.
And get the better cabins by booking now. And if rates drop, before final, most cruise
lines allow you to have the rate. All
you have to do is watch the rate and call your agent.
It’s true, if there is some sort of sale down the road, that
offers amenities, like onboard credit, you can’t have this, cause you already
booked ! That happens. But sometimes, it’s standing at the right
place at the right time. You can’t
predict what the cruise line will offer tomorrow and how long the offer will be
for ! What’s worse, the offer may come
up, and it’s not even applicable to YOUR DATE !
It’s true that Holland America and Princess offer a “flash”
promo and folks already booked can not have.
But this price is real close to sailing (of course, sometimes, it is
before final payment is due). It’s also
true, if you buy a Super Saver or Easy Saver rate with Carnival, they too, will
not price protect you.
Folks don’t believe it, but the best rates are given to
those folks who book early … Such as when rates come out … Which means NOW for
2014. And those who wait till last
minute, and don’t care if they get on or not, or don’t care what kind of cabin
they get, if they time it right, they too, can often get good rates.
So many think that last minute rates are the last 2
months. Not necessarily so. Had a group that had booked over 6 months
ago. Rates dropped, great. Those folks who had already bought, got in on
these rates. A month later, a friend of
theirs called and wanted to book too.
The sailing had gone back up $200 per person. Yes, $200 pp.
