Crazy increase in price of cruise

[suesnake2002]

I will be doing my first B2B in april 19, 2020 on adventure of the seas. (Second half is april 25)

The price of the april 19th cruise is outta control. An inside cabin is $1300, for a six day cruise 🤤.

Although i am so glad i got a great price, booking almost 2 years out. The big question is what the heck. 

Its not easter week, or spring break. Any insights?? And how do i figure out if it's a charter. On this cruise we will be diamond for the first time.

First hint would be that they no longer sell cabins.

Supply and demand.

 

You may get a hit on the possible charter if you do an internet search using the full name of the ship and the sailing date in different forms

Biker- they are still selling cabins

Bob- thanx, couldn't remember how to search a charter

April 19, 2020 is Eastern (orthodox) Easter.

In many states, the 3rd week of April is a school vacation week.  You may be going on a cruise with a lot of kids. Just a heads up in the event you want to change the date.

Our school spring break is usually the third week in April.

[suesnake2002]

Kids not a problem , we hang in adults area. Solarium,bars,casinos. 

Usually here in ny, weeks off rotate around the holidays. Eg: presidents week  ,easter week. And easter is april 12. 

Would be totally fine with kids, rather than a charter that might take over parts of the ship. 

Lots of kids = lots of washy washy. Lol

Easter is April 21, 2019

Just went on the website and saw an inside listed at $1,924.  Then I realized that since I am in Singapore it gave me the price in Singapore dollars, but that translates to almost $1,400 USA.  Gotta agree it is an outrageous price to pay for 6 days insider to Western Caribbean.

Yes, it is.  But Easter in 2020 is April 12.

Thank you Merion mom, did have a chuckle over that. 

I paid $2464 for a js, (for 2)and that was after a price reduction in october. With $200 obc. Price also dropped a little in nov, but no obc. 

The cruise is still over a year out, but for the price to double in 3-4 months. 🤤
