trev71 Posted March 15, 2015 #11 Share Posted March 15, 2015 for me C & J with the extreme high prices for October. we might just go to vegas for our 5 yr anniversary instead of a cruise. I am just not willing to pay them high prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisingsince94 Posted March 15, 2015 #15 Share Posted March 15, 2015 C - Already cutting back D - Looking for deals when possible G - Just started considering H - Did a Celebrity last year and enjoyed so have 2 more booked We prefer Royal but recent pricing trend is making it almost impossible for us who have a very limited vacation budget to book with.

Nah...I like my job, and I've had a few really bad/boring days at sea. Interesting responses everyone. Reply to each line, I'm going to do that myself. ;) A. RCL has intentionally decided to raise prices next year, blatantly mentioned in financial articles last Fall. If this BOGOHO "sale" is an attempt to "re-educate the customer", it didn't work well for JC Penny, and I imagine gravity will set in here too. B/C/E Never was loyal D. I would book a 14 day cruise last minute if planning ahead. F. We're mostly doing shorter Carnival cruises in the Fall, maybe Hawaii G. Norwegian's itineraries don't interest us yet. H. Love Celebrity! I. HAL is looking good for future trips to Alaska J. A European tour sounds interesting someday. K. Nope, I would sail Motel 6 Cruise Line if that's all there was, or go every few years on Crystal. We love sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
