AnitaVacation Posted March 8, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) I'd like to hear from some cruisers that have booked a Studio at a really great price....I've looked around and I don't see any of the prices below $1000 (before taxes & fees)...do they ever go for cheap?? (ok...I do see some sailings on Epic that start at around $749....that's actually a good price) Edited March 8, 2017 by AnitaVacation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeHeartCruising Posted March 8, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 8, 2017 When the Epic first came out, one weekend I grabbed a studio for $479, if I recall. I ended up finding someone else to cruise with me and we looked at getting him a studio as well about a week later, but they had already gone way up in price. I gave up the studio for another cabin suitable for 2 people. So I never sailed at that lower rate. I think it was a one-time price they were testing out or maybe even a glitch in the system. I never have seen a rate that low since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancydow Posted March 8, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 8, 2017 People who booked the Getaway a year in advance (December 2016 cruise) got their studios for about $400 per cabin. It was over $1k four months later! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ23986 Posted March 8, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I got on the Epic in March 15 for $599 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob brown Posted March 8, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 8, 2017 This past January, for the Breakaway 14 night cruise on the 15th....the remaining Studio's were priced at around 1599. In early Jan. I snagged a guarantee inside for around 1300. (Single occupancy), and eventually was assigned a nice mid-ship balcony on Deck11. :) So sometimes, waiting till the last minute pays off...

RJ23986 Posted March 8, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 8, 2017 RJ, would you be able to say through whom you booked this? NCL UK or USA or a travel agent.? Price is excellent It was through NCL booked in USD. and it was acutally $499!! Just checked the old invoice, Have attached a copy :) Think it was probably just a good last minute deal as have not been able to get one at that price since. Also had OBC of $25 which is not alot, but still a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khaide612 Posted March 8, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I was booked in Studio for Feb 2016 and as we got closer prices for studios increased and it was cheaper to book a balcony as a solo. Two of the solo cruisers I met had booked balconies as they were way cheap and had no solo supplement. One had such a good time that on the 5th day of cruise he booked for the following week and stayed onboard. His 2nd week cruise was even cheaper as he bought cruise rewards/cruisenext. If I were traveling by myself, I would just wait to book unless there were some issue with perks or wanting a specific cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also did not realise that you had to pay 23.5% tax on that price. Oh well ! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting_Cruiser Posted March 8, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I booked a 10-day Epic sailing to the Canary Islands about 18 months in advance and the price including port fees was less than $1,000. But, my next Epic sailing is slightly more than that not including the port fees and it's only 7 days. Sometimes you get a great deal and other times you bite the bullet if you really want that itinerary and time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather1972 Posted March 11, 2017 #13 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I got my 11 day Epic cruise in a studio for $999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdoraBelle Posted March 12, 2017 #14 Share Posted March 12, 2017 $899 for Getaway in June 2015. I mistakenly thought that would be the norm. (I think they're going for about $1500 now for the same time frame on Escape. Gotta pay for the "Free" at sea I guess.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowardK Posted March 12, 2017 #15 Share Posted March 12, 2017 3 years ago I booked in Feburary a Studio for the Breakaway the October for $545- I week earlier I then upgraded to a balcony for $250 more, but had I waited a few more days would have had the balcony for only $50 more. However, these days are over with the current leadership. I booked 2 studios for the Escape next year for $1,099 which is close to the miminum aside from the $749 ones I see on the Epic as mentioned earlier in this thread.

A_lime_among_coconuts Posted March 13, 2017 #16 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I have an 11 day on the Epic starting November 24, 2018 booked for $999, before taxes+. I took the shorex perk for $50 for ALL 7 ports plus debarkation. Since I'm platinum I also get 10% of excursions. I think that's a really good deal. I don't drink and I don't eat at specialty dining other than with platinum certificates so this will be a super economical trip for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisewithm Posted March 13, 2017 #17 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Booked a studio in the Escape for 1.700,00 , going on 3rd june, with the beverage package and gratuities included. I don't know if it's because I booked from Brazil but it seems that I'm paying more than average. This sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
