Were the Black Friday/Cyber Monday travel/cruise deals worth it?

As a person who hunts down the best deals for cruises and land trips, this year I had done my research prior to the actual black Friday and cyber Monday deals from cruise lines, cruise wholesalers, Expedia etc.   I was looking for specific cruises and trips to Lisbon.  In all cases the supposed deals were actually higher than before these two days.  The only deal I found was I have booked a cruise on RCL in April and they had a great offer for 25% shore excursions, 30% of the internet etc.  I was going to buy the shore excursion no matter what so saving the 25% was a deal.
Tip 1 of the day... do your research prior to these key sale days and then only book if it is cheaper
Tip 2 of the day... with RCL when you book a cruise you will get the discount email offers prior to you cruise (usually up to about 3 months prior to the cruise).  Book your shore excursions, etc with these offers and don't wait til your on board or just a week or two away from the cruise date and you will save money.
Hope this helps
