It wouldn’t be sailing a day later, it would be 6 days later - and if they can fit in a cruise sailing on 16th to 24th (when the first scheduled one is supposed to begin) then good luck to them. Nothing to stop the original 10th October people booking onto it. 😀 I know. I said "if". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find them much cheaper than competitors. Depends on the cruise though I suppose. We always wanted to a Disney Cruise but that is expensive!

I want a Disney cruise too but so priced out of that. its £1250 for 4 nights on carnival that we were looking at for May. only paid £950 for a week last year on p&o in May. don’t like to part with any more money than I need to but will have to do a cruise over there one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their market is americans so when they have European cruises, most passengers are flying to Europe to sail. This means it's customers with more money so Carnival up the price. Also it's an exclusive limited run itinerary and they need to get the costs covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wowzz Posted June 16, 2020 #764 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) I was always of the opinion that Carnival, in the US at least, was aimed very much at the younger party crowd, especially at Spring Break, and the pricing was geared to match that socio-economic demographic. 30 years ago I would have been in my element. Nowadays I'm not so sure! Edited June 16, 2020 by wowzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying that Carnival appeals to the younger generation (which is a good thing), and in general youngsters tend to have less money. 30 years ago I'd have loved to go on a Carnival cruise.

Haha We're all on a budget, unless money's no object. Just that some people's budgets are larger than others.

Never again would I do that. I just like it’s nice laid back, and I love no cooking and washing up best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
