Thank you for posting this.
We've been loyal to Royal since 2004 just as casual travelers. Pretty much 1 week, maybe 2 a few years here or there a year. We took some time off around Covid and finally got back on the horse in Jan of 2023. We realized we missed it...
But as I look at prices now, the are so bonkers compared to what we have paid in the past. I know, I know the past is the past, but I thought I was really missing something like they now includes gratuities or something, but man have the prices jumped.
I can honesty say, for us, the pricing is such a turnoff right now. $2500-$3000k for a one week cruise with maybe 3 stops? Man it's like getting punched in the nads.
Again, thanks for posting as I thought we were missing something but appears this may be the new temporary norm. Yikes!!! (But great for the balance sheet)
I guess I'll sit on the sidelines and wait for a Unicorn. Here's hoping things come back down eventually.
Happy cruising to all!
