Rare mking8288 Posted July 29, 2016 #26 Share Posted July 29, 2016 ... I guess they just now realized how much they have been loosing in fares over the past 2 years and FDR needs to justify his salary :) -Sean And, or, "adjust" his overall compensation accordingly. But, isn't the board as a whole exercising their due diligence and oversight duties ... looking at the stock pricing trend lately, going to be quite an act next week with the drum rolls. 80% of the core business are from the Americas - problems with Euro bookings are secondary.

mom2tcdx2 Posted July 29, 2016 #27 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Would the fact that I believe Easter is April 1 in 2018 and then possibly also spring break for a lot of kids be the reason for the huge increase in fare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swedish weave Posted July 29, 2016 #28 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Maybe FDR is trying to qualify for a segment on "American Greed". lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted July 29, 2016 #29 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Just randomly checking some 2018 Escape suite prices and on 7/27/16 seems they all got jacked up around 28%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchdiva Posted July 29, 2016 #30 Share Posted July 29, 2016 We booked 7 day on Pearl out of NOLA 4/1/18 Deck 10 AFT PH for about $1800pp. Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emcelh Posted July 29, 2016 #31 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Would the fact that I believe Easter is April 1 in 2018 and then possibly also spring break for a lot of kids be the reason for the huge increase in fare? I don't think so, since the fare seems to be the same the whole month. The SF suites on the Jewel during April of 2017 are less than half of the fares in 2018 for the same itinerary.

df5250 Posted July 29, 2016 #32 Share Posted July 29, 2016 So, wow... The Star is apparently returning to the Mexican Riviera. I haven't booked for Spring 2018 yet, so I thought I'd take a peek at the availability. Check out this pricing for an SF suite on the Star, sailing LA>Mexico>LA, 7 days. Swallow your drink before you look at this. Notice... no promos attached. I'm currently booked on the Jewel for April 2017 SE fwd PH at $2200 pp, w/ promos. This has got to be a mistake, right? How can NCL possibly justify that price. I always book early and I've never seen anything like this. Wow, NCL, just wow. Yikes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted July 30, 2016 #33 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Well, the GV is priced at $9999 pp. If the SF is gonna be $5999, might as well go all in for the Villa... :rolleyes: Obviously, all 12 SF suites are still available! Act now! I sure hope that's an error. I'll check again in a few days. You had to give them the idea - they jacked the GV up 50% to $14,999 overnight on all those sailings.

dexddd Posted July 30, 2016 #35 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Wow... just wow. Hope you booked the GV yesterday at the discounted price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triptolemus Posted July 30, 2016 Author #36 Share Posted July 30, 2016 (edited) Hope you booked the GV yesterday at the discounted price. I notice SF 10728 is no longer available for Star 4/1. Could someone seriously have booked that? Who are they? I have a bridge to sell them... Edited July 30, 2016 by triptolemus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted July 30, 2016 #37 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Seems those prices might be real and NCL trying to see what will stick. I'm surprised especially for that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare All-ready2cruise Posted July 30, 2016 #38 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I wonder if someone has placed a hold on the SF, just to see what happens. Maybe we should all put a hold on one of them.... :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdoraBelle Posted July 31, 2016 #40 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I wonder if they're picking up some ex-Disney cruisers. These prices might look sane to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck2810 Posted July 31, 2016 #41 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I actually saved over $1500 on my NOLA cruise switching to 2017 instead of Dec 2016. Small concession, since it was steep already - but it pays to keep checking. Today I re-booked it - a second time - and got the fares for my two daughters wiped out. No doubt the trend is up in $$$ - but that is due to all the good press we keep giving cruises.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will see you there! We paid about the same for our 7 day Mexican Riviera cruise out of LA this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
