Cruise Future Price Prediction Tool
 
Stumbled across this--I think via Twitter:

http://allthingscruise.com/future_price_predictions/

Supposed to chart previous prices for sailings for a limited number of cruise lines (looks like just the major ones) then makes a prediction as to whether prices will go up or down for each cabin category. Anyone have any experience with it? Do you think it's worthwhile?

no it is worthless

cruise deals independent of

time variables seasonal fuel prices

many other factors.

But if there's a lot of demand for a sailing early on, prices should logically go up, right? (Or vice versa--low demand should send prices down). Problem is, other than watching a bunch of different sailings over time and checking prices, I don't see any way to evaluate this. Oh well, guess it's just another tool for the toolkit that will have to be taken with a grain of salt...
