Vista Prices

[1stime cruiser]

Is it me or are the Carnival Vista prices higher than previous new ships Carnival has rolled out?

[loubetti]

Um....

 

Carnival doesn't roll out a new ship every year, and this one is their largest, most expensive to build yet.

 

Why would one expect the prices not to be higher than the last one? Ya' sort of have to pay for the ship and have a ROI on it, don't you?

[loubetti]

Let me also add that the market will pay the higher prices for the biggest and newest. You charge what you feel the market will accept under the current economic conditions. New ship = higher prices. Carnival Breeze is OLD news. Why compare new / larger to former?

We booked when the prices first came out. Got an OV for 6 nights with $50.00 OBC for $1053.00 ttl for two. ( rate before txs was $409.00 p/p ):)

We got an aft wrap on the Vista for less than we paid for just a regular aft on the Sunshine. But we had to book 18 months out.

Just got a notice yesterday that the Vista cruise we are on in April went up 15%. Thank goodness it is paid for

Once you place a deposit, you are price protected. Sending the balance to Carnival early does nothing but alleviate "worriers" but of course it's everyone's personal choice.

I booked the transatlantic on opening day and got an excellent solo rate.

Our friends booked this repositioning NYC-MIA cruise first. Then Carnival dropped the price so we booked OV amidships deck 1 which was only deck available. Came out to less than $100 per day per person which I consider a bargain for a brand new ship.

When I booked, the prices weren't anymore than the same cruise on Breeze. Granted since so many people are booking the prices have SOARED up. If I was to book the same cruise now, it would be over $1500 more than I paid.

We booked our January 2017 6 day cruise last July. $879 pp Havana Extended Aft Balcony. I thought it was reasonable compared to the NCL Owners suite I had last January.

The last new ship came out in 2012. Prices for cruising overall is higher even since last year. You can find decent deals but not often. Makes perfect sense prices for the Vista would be higher than when the Breeze debut years ago.

my cruise is $600 more than when we first booked. Thankfully we didn't wait!

We booked this cruise i think in Feb. 2015 for a cove balcony, now it's up $980! ( no coves avail now) Can hope for some OBC when it gets to the states. Looking forward to sailing on her.

We got our Havana aft facing cabin for less than 1k PP

I was looking to book the 8-day Southern Caribbean for March 2018 in a Havana Balcony, but they're around $1600pp. Too much for that cabin, I think.

We booked our Vista cruise the day the dates became open and we have the same result - both of our cabins have gone up by $1500 - we are so glad we booked when we did. Really would have to have thought about it more if the prices were at today's level.
