They haven't added any restricted fares, such as military, resident or senior rates yet, and those are often the indicator on an "on target" sailing whether or not it will go on Happy Hour. So far, nothing's ticking that way. Most categories still have availability, though, but at fairly strong relative pricing for this type of sailing.

Give it a 2-3 more weeks and ask me again, Beav. I'm always happy to look, and by then we should have some better indications what they're going to do to sell the rest of the inventory.

Juiceman, I'm revising my previous estimate. I've looked at the sailing, and not only is it coded green (wide open, behind target), but they're allowing new groups and offering major group incentives still. Both those factors lead me to give it a high probability of going on Happy Hour at some point. Possibly for multiple weeks. I won't go so far as to predict a $299 fare, but do believe it'll go significantly below the current $499 for you, and in a way which won't allow for a fare reduction if you purchase now.

I also think there may be an outright fare reduction as well.

We are also considering the 14-night Independence of the Seas, 4/11-4/25. These dates may end up fitting our calendar better (plus on a 14 night we'll get an extra $100 obc from our future cruise deposit). This cruise is currently priced starting at $599. Do you see this possibly going down any further? Thank you very much!

If I find a great rate, I'll post it, and the site you can find it. If any of the rest of you would do the same, we can pool our efforts. Hope you'll be willing to share info about good deals to.
