No taker for Valentine's cruise?

Tweet

There is a promotion by Royal Caribbean for Valentine's cruise in my country. The cruise starts on 14 February for a 5 nights South East Asia cruise. The price is about half the normal rate for most cabins, and on top of that, you get onboard credit for use on board the cruise. At first I thought there is a mistake. It is hard to believe that Royal Caribbean has to find ways to sell Valentine's cruise. After thinking about it, I can see the reason why. Many people take cruise from Christmas to New Year, or during Chinese New Year. Chinese New Year happens on 8 and 9 February, which means Monday and Tuesday are public holidays. That is why the Chinese New Year sailings are full priced, but the Valentine's cruise is at deep discount.
