Fall 2026 itineraries

[Cfabar1]

I haven't booked a cruise on “opening day” ever.. could you please help with these questions..?

A) Placeholder discount. i have a cruise booked (March/26) and I plan to buy the placeholder discount. if I book a Nov/27 trip, can I later call to request price adjustment?

B) I believe the answer is No,

you are correct!

and therefore I would have to quote it with the placeholder discount later on and see if it is truly better place vs “opening day”.. in your experience, are opening day prices always lower than waiting up 3-6 months in advance? (even with placeholder discount) - without considering GTY rates

Thanks!

Depends on the route... a 5 night in September might keep around the same rate for months at a time... A NYE cruise will almost certainly be more expensive...

You only get 10% off with the placeholder . Plus you don’t get a discount for cruises over a holiday like Christmas or Thanksgiving. You could book opening day and see if the price has gone up dramatically by March. If it hasn’t then you could cancel your booking and rebook with your placeholder at the march price with the 10% off
