Has anyone checked the NCL cruise prices today??

[aubreyc1988]

If you really can sail last minute, there are still plenty of deals. In the next 5 weeks, there are various 7-day cruises on the Breakaway, the Dawn, the Jade, and the Star where you can get a balcony for under $650. Or the Epic for 10 days for $659. Or 14 days on the Sun for $799. All balconies.

 

7-day insides are as low as $379, or $54/night. You'd be pretty hard pressed to find a city in the US where $108 would get you a night's stay in a safe hotel, 3 full meals for 2, and unlimited snacks. And while you could easily find such a thing outside of the US, then you have to pay the airfare to get there.

 

but remember, the promos usually only apply to sailings more than 30 days out.

True, but on the $399 Sun 14 day inside others sail free and free upgrades are offered for the 12/5 sailing.

FDR wants to charge RCCL prices while offering a CCL product:p

 

Come on: this has little to do with FDR, it is simply the business world. Have you priced RCCI or CCL for a similar cabin and date? I doubt it. You find it easier to be one of those who choose to go negative. As has been said, don't like it, don't purchase!!!

 

and BTW, for someone who seems to cruise often, you don't have a very good idea on pricing, of class of lines. Which line is best is nothing more than opinion and based on grouping of brands, RCI, NCL and CCL fall into the same group. They are much more similar than different.

It has also been referred to as "price gouging"....

Is it price gouging when demand pushes up prices?

 

Price gouging involves a predatory element taking advantage of a disaster.

3 weeks ago I booked next for April on the Epic out of Barcelona, balcony room. After seeing this thread, I checked the current price. Inside is the same, but balconies are down $150 pp. I suspect that Paris is changing demand.
