Black Friday vs Boxing Day - When's the best time to book?

By dacf , November 11, 2023 in Celebrity Cruises

Recommended Posts

We'd like to book ourselves on Celebrity Equinox - 9 day Southern Caribbean Cruise to the ABC islands leaving March 23rd.    I'm looking at the balcony cabins.  I've been keeping an eye on the pricing and in just 4-5 days, I've seen it go as low just over a $1,000 (same price as an ocean view) to as high as $1700.  This is crazy, it's all over the place.   I'm wondering if the Black Friday deals coming up will be better deals or should I wait till Boxing Day?  Does anyone have any experience with when the deals should be better? 

Thanks for your help!

Boxing Day really isn't a holiday in the U.S. so you might see something on the Canadian Site. 

If your cruise is outside of Final Payment (90 days),  I would recommend booking now and keep checking.   If the price drops call and have your price adjusted.    At least this is how I would do it in the U.S.    Not sure if Canadian bookings also have best price matching up until final payment. I have a little trick.   I search for the cruise and do a mock booking up to the Category Selection window and then Book Mark.    I can then get back to check with just one or two clicks. Example of my March Cruise -

Canada usually falls under the the USA umbrella for booking

Their "sales" tend to be a shell game. You would be better off finding a fare you are comfortable with and booking now, as the stateroom choices will likely be better. If prices go down you can refare at the then current rates and perks if it works in your favour.

Thanks a lot everyone for your input!! It's been greatly appreciated.  I was on the phone with ***** and they gave us a pretty good deal with $2878 US dollar for two people all taxes in - final price, plus $275 US dollar ship board credit for a balcony.

Have a great week!

It looks like cruise critic won't allow me to post where i got the deal from.  I put it down but they deleted it as seen in my post.

Do they sell hot dogs?

Yes that is a violation of CC rules.

Just past Boxing Day, there is also Wave Season  that runs from Jan to Mar.  Personally, I think the deals are generally the best during this time frame whereas other sales throughout the year are somewhat variations of the same thing.  But obviously, there are always lots of variables at play.  eg In this particular instance, it's cutting it close with a late March departure.  And you also never know what kind of pricing plays out within final payment.  Etc, etc.

As recommended above, ignore the bait-and-switch sales. Just book when you're comfortable and refare if necessary.

12 hours ago, dacf said: What???  

There is a big box TA that is part of a store that sells $1.50 hot dogs.They also have a very busy gas bar.

wait till travel Tuesday 11/28.

Thanks everyone for your feedback!!  It's been greatly appreciated  🙂

I'll take a look at Travel Tues. 11/28 and if those deals interest us then we'll book and if not then I'll wait till after the new year during their Wave Season (which I didn't know about), so thank you Milhouse for letting me in on that.  I know it'll be 3 months before the cruise, but if they haven't sold out or nearly sold out then I'm expecting the cabins should be on sale.   We've just gone through a kitchen reno, so we do have a budget that we want to stick with.  We're just hoping that we'll be able to do this if the price is right LOL!!

If the chilly Christmas weather has got you down, how about booking a break in the sun to look forward to?

January is historically the busiest month for holiday bookings as sunseekers take advantage of cut-price deals by planning their holiday getaways early in the year. With sales in full swing on flights, holidays and hotels, the deals can be top-notch with discounted prices and plenty of added extras including low deposits, free child places and upgrades.

While we are still waiting to hear confirmation on exactly what kind of deals we can expect to see go live on Boxing Day, previous discounts should give us a good idea.

We'll keep you up to date as the deals start to drop, but before you book your holiday day, keep in mind that cheaper deals could be coming.

British Airways

British Airways is one of the first out of the blocks this Christmas, having launched their big annual sale on December, 20.

The flag carrier is offering discounts on flights and holiday packages across the globe, including cut-price seats on selected routes to Europe and seven-night holiday packages to holiday hotspots including Malta , Algarve and Malaga starting from just £249 per person .

There are also return flights to New York from £356, Orlando from £386 and San Francisco from £415, as well as a range of Avios offers in place for customers to reduce the price of their ticket even further.

Booking.com

Last year Booking.com offered 15% off selected stays as part of their Boxing Day deals. For Black Friday however, they ramped that up to an impressive 30% off accommodation.

We would expect to see somewhere between the two in this year's Boxing Day sales.

When it comes to flying with easyJet , passengers can expect to see money off deals on thousands of flights across Europe and beyond, including seats for less than £20 one way.

In previous years, the budget brand has dropped their Boxing Day deals as early as December, 23, with up to £200 off beach holidays , city breaks and more.

For Black Friday 2022 EasyJet almost broke the internet by offering over 60,000 seats under £25. While it would be brilliant to see those types of deals appearing on Boxing Day, we'll have to keep our eyes peeled to see what discounts await.

Another great website that offers awesome deals on travel and accommodation, Expedia offered up to 30% off selected stays last year.

We would hope to see the same again in 2023.

First Choice

First Choice regularly runs promotions and discounts throughout the year. In preparation for the big rush of summer bookings that take place after Christmas , the travel agent is expected to offer the usual incentives including free child places, low-cost deposits, payment options and money off holiday spends.

During the Black Friday sales, First Choice offered up to £250 off holidays costing more than £2500 and reduced the price of thousands of getaways, starting from as little as £190 per person.

This Christmas we would expect to see more of the same, with great deals to be found on short-haul beach breaks to long-haul adventures in Orlando, Florida, Mexico and more.

Can't wait until Boxing Day to book? First Choice has some super cheap deals on last-minute winter sun holidays departing in January. Prices start from as little as £194 per person for seven nights in Turkey .

Budget airline Jet2 and Jet2Holidays have already introduced some brilliant winter deals with 10% off flights departing between now and March 31, while holidaymakers could save between £100 and £220 on their winter hols. They are also making it easier to pay with pay monthly and pay in three options available.

Last year, the popular travel agent added an extra exciting element to their seasonal specials by running their ‘Bid for a Break’ campaign on Boxing Day. Giving holidaymakers the chance to pay just a few pence for a 5-star, all-inclusive holiday for just a few pence, customers should download the Jet2 mobile app, make their bid and cross their fingers that it is the lowest unique bid to win.

It would be great to see those sort of deals appear once again this year.

Lastminute.com

As a purveyor of cheap deals all year round you may not expect much from Lastminute.com in the Boxing Day sales but last year they pulled it out of the bag with some impressive flash sales from Christmas through to January.

As the name would suggest, most of the best deals can be found on getaways departing shortly.

Loveholidays

Online travel agent Loveholidays has built its reputation on providing super cheap holiday deals, opening up the world to holidaymakers on all budgets.

As part of its previous winter sale discounts, passengers could enjoy an additional 15% off selected hotels in destinations such as Corfu, Majorca, the Canary Islands and the Algarve.

While Ryanair seems to have lots of "sales" throughout the year, some of their best deals can be found in the winter sale.

Always one to watch out for, previous years have seen some cracking deals such as 10 million seats on offer for as little as £29.99, and buy one get half price deals for cheaper adventures with your bestie.

Black Friday with Ryanair was full of fun too with different deals dropping over a series of days to entice flyers to buy. Previously, we have even seen a BOGOF deal that saw two passengers take to the skies for the price of just one ticket, with the best deals focusing on winter and springtime departures.

Speaking of winter sun, Ryanair is currently offering 10% off selected flights to some of our favourite holiday hotspots including flights to Spain, Italy and Portugal from just £14.99

Secret Escapes

Members-only website Secret Escapes offers long-haul holidays at low prices. With offers regularly updated, there are likely to be even more discounts available over the Christmas and New Year period.

Thomas Cook

Last year Thomas Cook offered some heavily discounted deals with hundreds of pounds off trips to destinations including Mexico, Barbados, the Canary Islands and Egypt. Deals were available on holidays throughout the year, with the sale prices ending on January, 31.

For Black Friday, Thomas Cook broke out some impressive deals offering as much as 30% off last-minute getaways, summer holidays for 2024, city breaks and long-haul adventures.

The TUI Live Happy sale is now live with £100 off spend of £1000 and £250 off bookings costing more than £2500 on summer holidays across Europe and beyond. Customers who sign up for a myTUI account here , could alternatively choose to save £300 on selected long-haul holidays using a unique code.

Selected holidays can be booked with £0 deposits, with the cost of the getaway spread across monthly Direct Debits. TUI is also promising to offer more 'Kids Go Free' places than ever before, even in the school holidays, helping to make dream holidays more affordable.

This year's sale also offers up to £300 off selected Marella Cruises and TUI River Cruises , depending on departure date and destination.

Virgin Atlantic

Virgin Atlantic has launched some big deals in their seasonal sale.

One of their finest offerings includes £60 per adult and £45 per child off prices to Orlando when you book between 18th December '23 - 31st March '24, for travel in 2024 - a saving of £210 for a family of 4. There are also good deals on flights with London to New York for £376 and London to Miami from £412 .

While Virgin will offer many similar deals to their flag-carrying rival, British Airways, they also have some unique routes to delicious destinations such as Havana, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Shanghai.

Virgin Atlantic also offers non-stop routes from Manchester to Florida, New York, Barbados and Jamaica, making them more attractive to travellers from the north of England.

As another low-cost flight provider, Wizz Air usually fights off the competition by offering cheap deals in December and January.

In its "Pink Friday" promotion, the airline offered different deals every day for a week in 2022, delivering discounts on over 3 million seats flying to various destinations including Tenerife, Rome and Portugal.

Deal site Wowcher offers a wide range of cheap city breaks , holidays and mystery travel deals . Already great value for money, they traditionally slash prices even further on Boxing Day and into January.

Well suited to flexible travellers, you could grab a weekend away for as little as £99 per person. Sign up for the site and keep your eyes peeled.

Bargain buys for travellers in the Boxing Day sales

If you've already got your holiday sorted, the Boxing Day sales are the perfect time to find big deals on luggage and other travel essentials.

While there are many brands to choose from, some of the best deals we expect to see on suitcases and travel bags are likely to be delivered by the following retailers

• American Tourister
• House of Fraser
• Luggage Superstore
• Marks and Spencer

Online marketplace Amazon is also expected to have lots of lovely deals available for savvy travellers including reduced prices on suitcases , carry-on bags , travel tech , gadgets and so much more.

How to avoid being scammed in the Boxing Day travel sales

It can be very easy to get all over-excited about the idea of a cheap travel deal. To avoid being scammed stay safe and be wary of deals that look too good to be true.

The most common types of booking fraud are:

• Holiday Accommodation: Holidaymakers are conned by scammers setting up fake websites, hacking into legitimate accounts and posting fake adverts on websites and social media.
• Airline tickets: Customers believe they are booking a flight but are sent fake tickets or pay for a ticket that never turns up.

Before you hand over your hard-earned money on Boxing Day, make sure you consider the following:

Is the website legitimate?

Before you part with a single penny, do your research to ensure that the website is safe and legitimate. Many scammers make their fraudulent websites look so similar to big-name brands that you wouldn't even notice at first glance.

Ensure that the spelling is correct and that the domain names haven't been changed - such as going from co.uk to .org or other tell-tale giveaways. You should also check that there is an address and a working phone number as a lack of contact details could indicate a scam.

Read the reviews

Some companies pay people to write online reviews for them so never assume that lots of great feedback means any website is a safe bet. By asking Google to bring up reviews from across the internet you will be able to see more measured opinions and read about other people's experiences.

Look out for the ABTA or ATOL logo

Check to see that the company is ABTA or ATOL-protected before you book to ensure that you will be protected financially should anything happen.

According to the Money Saving Expert website "with ATOL, you can check it's legitimate by finding the reference number on it - this is usually four to five digits long and it may include a 'T' at the start - and then inserting this or the name of the travel company into the free ATOL database . Make sure you get an ATOL certificate when you book a protected trip.

"The process is the same for ABTA as it is for ATOL, so you just need to input the five-digit reference number or the company's name into the ABTA database ."

Protect how you pay

The safest way to pay for a holiday is by using a debit or credit card as they offer their own forms of protection under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. Any company that asks for a payment to be made directly into a bank account or by a wire transfer could very likely be a scam.
