Wave Season, most definitely here ! Yet to book your 2015 cruise ? Waiting may hurt you for 2015



Sorry no time for blogging last week !

 
January has rocked.  Why wouldn’t it ?  All these cruise line offers are unbelievable ! 

Look at Royal Caribbean … Buy the first and get the 2nd one for ½ price.  And onboard credit too.  This is great savings !  Ends this Friday, January 30.

Look at Celebrity Cruises … 123go.  Great in the Caribbean but even better offer for Alaska & Europe !

Look at Norwegian … Drink packages, dining packages, and more.  Not to mention our “Risk space” of lower rates !

 
There are plenty more offers.  But there are deadlines !  And if folks keep waiting, they are going to miss the boat.

So many folks have jumped on the wagon and saving lots of money !  Personally, I think it’s absolutely just wonderful !

Those who are still thinking that “last minute” is the way to buy, may soon discover, they have made the wrong decision ! 

In talking with the cruise lines at our National Conference onboard the Regal Princess, we were told, that the cruise lines plans are to offer this “early promotions”, fill the ships up, so they’re not having to lower the rates down the road.   And even if they do, the “last minute” isn’t really getting the better deal, because they missed out on the amenities … Whether it’s onboard credit, free drink and dinner packages, and more. 

 
So in reality, they may be fooling themselves over seeing a lower rate.  Besides that, these “early birds” are getting the better cabins!

Just yesterday, a customer who normally buys in January, choose to wait till end of January this time.  Not only did he miss our MYSTERY MONEY offer by one day, the cabins he wanted on Lido were gone.  He had to “settle” for 2 decks lower.

 
So it’s real.  And this Wave Season seems to be working.  Phones ringing off the hook here with me !  Matter of fact, no time to make an entry on my blog last week !. 

Yet, there are still folks who are not only dragging their feet in making a decision, there are those who have yet to place their 2015 vacation confirmation on their to-do-list !  Or still have the mental concept of book at the "last minute". 
 
Wait if you want !  These amenities offered now are fabulous !  I don't even have time to book something for me !
