2 Cruises in one year - how does discount work?

[Maesa]

Hi - I've already been on one cruise so I booked my 2nd one in Feb and believe I got my discount for that cruise. Now if I want to book another cruise now for July - before my Feb cruise, how do I get a discount on that cruise also? Or do I have to wait until after my Feb cruise to book it?

Another discount question:

Do you get 10% of your 2nd cruise?

How about the 3rd cruise?

Is it always 10%? And if I go online and check prices, is it 10% off that price?

Thank you.

You only get the 10% discount for cruises you book onboard, and you can only get the onboard benefits for one cruise booked while onboard. For the July cruise, you can book that now without any discount and "reshop" the cruise when you are onboard in February. If the price on the July cruise hasn't risen more than the amount of the discount, you can make a new July booking onboard and cancel your original July reservation. When I've done this, they have been able to get me the same stateroom.

You do not automatically get 10% off future cruises for having sailed before. The 10% is only for booking while onboard. And there are blackout dates, i.e. cruises for which the 10% discount doesn't apply. These are often the holiday sailings or other high travel times.

And concierge rooms are not discounted 10% either.

I think that if you book using a Disney Visa you can get something like $50. off (whoo hoo!) But that "perk" might have gone away last year when they revamped the benefits.

Probably the best "discount" you can get at this point is booking through Costco Travel. You will NOT receive a discount on the cruise fare, but you will get a Costco Cash Card after your cruise. But then you have to deal with a TA.

The Disney Visa perk is now an onboard shopping discount.
