Beach Club - It pays to watch

[Andy & Sheryl Unwin]

For our upcoming trip on Freedom, I had been looking at booking the beach club. However, as many will know the prices are just way too up there, it was at $190 pp. So sadly it was not to be.

Until a week ago when I spotted the price had gone down to $75 pp...  Instant book and pay, locked in.  Just as well, it was back abov $150pp the following day.

Seems it pays to be vigilant

I wonder how many passengers ever check a price again once they book.   I'm betting they're in the majority.

Is it crazy that I check the cruise planner daily?

No. I do multiple times a day. LOL.

[Ryan79]

I check about every other day

I used to habitually check, check, check. But recently I began using RoyalPriceTracker.com and I think it's working out for me. I get an email when the price drops on something, like Voom, Chef's Table, excursions, etc. and I've saved a few bucks here and there.

Not crazy at all; more should do it, I think.

One thing I do is use MEI for any booking that is not a casino comp. Takes the stress of checking away.

Additionally, I check anything purchased through the cruise planner daily and, where applicable, cancel and rebook at a lower price.

As a general principle, I set a glass ceiling for certain things, like the Beach Club. I won't book those things unless they are priced below my ceiling.
