Day one vs OB

[mj2vacation]

does it make sense to book what is essentially a placeholder day one (platinum) vs onboard (2 weeks from now).

Yes. That way you will pay whatever is less.

Book on opening day. Reshop the cruise onboard. If a particular cruise is popular, the prices can increase dramatically and quickly, making the OBB reduction a moot point.

If the price hasn't risen enough to negate the OBB discount, you can cancel the opening day booking and rebook onboard.

Thanks! That is what we wound up doing. Will reshop once on board 11/11.
