SHIPS FILLING UP FAST?!

Have you all noticed that the ships are filling up fast since the war seemed to settle?

Our cruise on May 23rd, appears to be filling FAST and the PRICES!!!
The prices seem to be going UP UP UP. At least on the Holland America Site and one other that I check from time to time. I don't know about the discounting sites.

Is that normal that prices go UP instead of DOWN close to the cruise?

Anyone else notice the same trend?

Sure; happens all the time if demand is great. If the demand isn't there, you can get on for $5, two cat food coupons and your name printed legibly on a 3x5 card.

I do not know if I can do the last one, with me laughing so hard at your post.

tomc,

You forgot the three canned food items then become the food pantry aboard ship for those "delicious late night snacks" :)

Mark: Also there are not as many PROMO's out there, so people are at least looking, and calling about booking a Cruise. Ours is starting to fill up a bit and we are not going to Semtember. so you got in at a good time.

Barry,

You are right, we are very pleased to have booked what we did, when we did. I think we did very well and got the exact cabin of our choice. :):):) Couldn't ask for more

Now that the ship seems to be filling up fast, I hope that there is still going to be enough food to go around while on board! I mean all this talk about bringing three (3) cans on board and cat coupons too, worries me! :) :) :)

I can understand though, TomC's comment about bringing our own name printed legibly on a 3x5 card, that would be useful to reseve a table in the Lido while I'm in line shoveling the kitty cans onto my tray! :) LOL :)

Or to bring to the dinner table and putting it in front of us, so that everyone on the table can see who owns the kitty cans that were brought from the pantry as appetizers, that would be useful! :) LOL :)

Or we could just use the 3x5 sign in our Guest Bathroom and say the room is reserved! :):):) Now that would be pretentious!!!

Seriously, we are VERY HAPPY and LUCKY that we got what we dreamed about. And despite the suggestions by TomC and KismetCruiser I am certain we won't go hungry on board. Now while we are staying in New York and Montreal that's a different story.

Now if I see kitty cans and coupons being brought on board by other passengers, I will have to acknowledge TomC and KismetCruiser that they were right that Holland America will accept alternate payment for cabins.!!!
