220.0. "DISCOUNT CRUISE RATES" by FPTVX1::URONIS () Thu Jul 26 1990 16:28

    The NCL line has something called SEASAVER. If you call them 30 days
    prior to the sailing date they will tell you what ships have cabins
    open at these rates. Airfare, and land transportation is not included
    , nor can you be guaranteed a specific cabin category, no selection of
    dinner seatings either but we got a rate of
    
    $699 per person inside cabin
    $769 per person outside cabin
    $345 3rd and 4th person
    
    we are going on the Norway on Aug 4th. This is the 2nd time on the
    Norway for us. This is a good deal for a family of 5 who require two
    cabins. This is a savings of 44% of the cabin category we were assigned
    and we hope that we might luck out with a free upgrade. I got this rate
    through my travel agent but called NCL direct and got the same rate
    quoted, so I let my travel agent do all the work.
    
    P.S. Full fare must be payed in a few days but I was able to use my
    credit card and the travel agent fedex'd the charge receipt to NCL.
    
    I'll let you know how this all works out.

Could you give a report on how your Aug 4 cruise using SEASAVER went.  What
class cabin did you get? Did you get what you wanted out of the cruise? etc...

Thanks

    It went fine. I got two inside cabins on the Atlantic deck. Nothing
    great, but I only spent about 6hrs per night there. Because the Norway
    was booked to capacity there really wasn't much chance of getting a
    better cabin; however I heard it is possible to luck out with SEA
    SAVER. I would definitely go for the saving provided I had flexibilty in
    scheduling etc.
