OCSC Mike Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 I know it varies greatly by sailing, these things always do, but FWIW, the price for my Wonder 3/17/24 cruise is now on sale for even less than it was during Black Friday. It's $19.99pp now. Dynamic pricing is of course driven by supply and demand so it could be because we are the only ship there and it's a spring break cruise so more kids means less adults able to go there even if they wanted to. Just thought I'd share in case those who are interested and/or already booked wanted to check the price.

smokeybandit Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 No real surprise they may have overestimated the demand for an adult party area at that original price point. OCSC Mike, Baked Alaska, WAAAYTOOO and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Apparently it's a "Hideway Beach Opening Day Sale" May 4th Icon on sale today for $40.00 buck's! And I thought that was a good price. LOL. It still looks too loud and cramped for me. But I did buy a bed by the hideaway pool on board for $239 (twice). I'm ashamed of myself, but I don't have to get up and out at 6am. Sadly the videos of that pool area are looking loud/party vibe also. Miss a calm solarium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharla Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 $19.99 is a much more reasonable price, but that's still too much IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxrunner Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 That just saved me some cash! I think this is going to be a one and done but wanted to check it out. Maybe the Pizza will be next level. OCSC Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LandstromCruise Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Was just coming to post about this sale and saw you beat me to it. I originally booked at about $49/person a month or so ago. While I felt that was a little high, just the wife and I were going on this cruise coming up Mar 1 so thought it would be a good time to check it out. Later cancelled and rebooked for $34.99. Today saw it was down to $26.99. I like your $19.99 better, but still glad I have saved over $40 on my original booking for the 2 of us.

Jolly Ogre Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Bah...it is $47.99 for my Dec 2024 sailing on Oasis. I got it Black Friday for $34.99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
putinbay Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Yep, just checked for our Icon cruise next month (March 9th, 2024). It's down to $26.99. With tax, it's $29.68. If we didn't have our 13 and 15 year old boys with us, I think I'd be tempted to try it at that price. If it gets down to $20, I think we'll pull the trigger and tell the boys we'll see 'em back on the ship. LOL! OCSC Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 @AshleyDillo is at the first day grand opening. She said the pizza is no better than Sorrento's with a few different options. I was going to book this for one of my B2B2B on Freedom as the price wasn't too bad. But I'm not paying for Sorrento's level pizza and other food I can eat for free.

Gilley Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 It’s $33.99 for my May 18th Icon sailing. I will have to pass on it. I’m keeping my eyes open for the $19.99 price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Va4fam Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 $19.99 seems like a great price. Besides the cool party vibe, what else do you get when you book Hideaway? OCSC Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As tempted as I am by seafood pizza and fried shrimp, I don't blame you. I'll stick to the snack shack for free and get my pizza from Sorrento's and my shrimp from the CL. I'd rather spend the $20pp on Mason Jar brunch or Playmakers. Ampurp85 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshleyDillo Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Don't get me wrong, they did a great job for what it is. It helps distribute people around the island better and is great for someone who really enjoyed the Oasis Lagoon vibe. Only drawback is they've designed Hideaway on Icon where they could without a doubt make it be a paid area during prime hours, similar to NCL's Vibe Pass. I would not be surprised if they decided to charge for that area of the ship given its popularity. Access to the area is down a flight of stairs and would only take one crew member to monitor.

Babsy47 Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 For our April 14th cruise, it is also down to a far more reasonable amount than it has been for just the pass. The cabanas are still really expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianB Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Yeah…I’m thinking it’s going to be a one and done with me too! I booked it once just to check it out and see if it’s as loud as people are saying. Looks like it’s a nightclub on a beach. Very loud music and lots of partiers/drinkers. I know that’s the intended vibe and they hope to attract the younger adults and those who love that atmosphere while on vacation. A good place to let loose with adult friends and enjoy the sun, sand, pool and sounds. Oh, well…hopefully many of those who pay to go there will be those who usually go to South Beach. There’s no pool there but it’s beautiful with all the amenities nearby; beach, bar, bathroom and snack shack. Plus there’s some sports activities for those so inclined.

We found this to be a problem once Mr. SpeedNoodles dislocated his knee (for 2 days, before he figured out why it hurt so much). He couldn't go down any stairs, so we had to stop going to the Hideaway Bar. As far as the Hideaway Beach Club, we loved that heated pool. It's SO big. We'd definitely go again. And hopefully next time he can walk, lol. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Miller Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 It's marked 30% off at 26.99 on Anthem next week. I don't want to go, but I hope it sells out so as to take some load off the rest of the island. If, after I board they have one of those fire sales for $20, I'd consider it just to see what it's all about for myself. The Beach Club is the one I wish I'd see come down. But that never seems to happen anymore. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
