Fair price for 7 day western Caribbean cruise?

[zitsky]

I'm new to Royal Caribbean and don't know what is a fair price for a 7 day western Caribbean cruise incuding Cozumel etc.  There are two of us who would be cruising in a balcony cabin.  We're more interested in active excursions and not so much sitting on the beach.  I'm looking for a trip where you could visit Mayan ruins, pyramids, etc.

 

It looks like booking for a trip this year (last minute?) is priced much better than next.  If I look at late December 2020, the price is about $2000 per person, which seems high to me.

That's too much unless you are looking at Christmas week and that even sounds high for that to me.  What ship?  It should be more like $2000 total for 2

Depends a lot on what ship.  The newest ones are the most expensive but you should be able to get a balcony on a 7 day cruise, including Cozumel for about $2000 for both of you.

Aim for $100 pp per day base fare outside of holiday sailings.

If the December 2020 cruise includes Christmas that is why the price is high. Holiday cruises are more. Try looking in September thru early December 2019 or 2020 for more reasonable prices.

I agree, no more than $1000pp for a balcony.

Oasis Western 12/6/20 OV balcony is $1855-

if you don't have school aged children and are not a teacher, look at the first 2 weeks of December instead.

 

We are going for $1,600 total for the 3 of us, inside cabin, during spring break. Balcony would have been a bit more, but not $2,000 pp.

Ok I will definitely try other dates.  Thanks for the input.

Today a Ocean view balcony first of December 2020  on Harmony is under $1100.00 pp. W A eek before Christmas the same cabin is $1800.00.  A few hundred cheaper if you get a neighborhood balcony the same week. Knock off a few more hundred if you book Liberty.
