Thinking about a 2012 cruise? Huge sale starting Oct 17 - most cruise lines

[Dave M]

This is the real deal. So consider booking between October 17 and October 23. Although this has been in the news over the past several days, it still hasn't gotten much press. Here is one link that discusses the sale.

Thanks, Dave.

Thanks for this! I wasn't aware of the promotion, and since I am planing a cruise to Alaska in 2012, this may be just the thing I need!

Im not seeing much of a difference in pricing. Looks like another advertising gimmick!

I agree! No price change on the cruise I am watching.

You mean you were expecting something more than a 'sale in name only?" Anybody ever notice those 50% off sales at the chain jewelry stores where they mark 'em up double before the sale. Same deal.

CruCon and VTD have been announcing this for a week or two and I haven't seen any cruise give-aways yet.

We will be on board a cruise before this supposedly ends so we'll see what we can negotiate. S. America is appealing.

www.bestpricecruises.com has a page that lists the offers.
Most are just lower deposits or piddly-little, per cabin OBC's.
NCL's AARP (5%) discount is a better deal than this "sale."

I was this || close to putting a deposit on a Mediterranean cruise.
But then I realized that our dates would conflict with a free stay
at the Naples Grande (Florida), for work. The cruise can wait.

Thanks for the info. Booked Norwegian Epic for next fall and received $200 in OBC plus 50% deposit reduction and a bottle of vino OBC almost covered my deposit.
