I've been following some cruises around the middle east for several months. And one such cruise from MSC has gone from $830 with everything (OBC/Drinks Pkg) included to now $2000+.with a $75 obc.

And it showed all cabins are sold out except balcony, which definitely isn't true. Yesterday it showed all cabins available.😄

A week ago they had $1000 off the one I wanted, but I waited too late to book it. My fault 😞

I have a feeling the ship hasn't been selling very well due to the conflict in that general area and they are trying to offload higher end cabins.

But their Black Friday sale isn't a sale when they increased the rates and put a small obc to entice customers.

I plan to wait until after black Friday to see if the prices drop. If not I won't be booking.

Anybody notice this with other cruise lines recently?
