Would you pay $21,348 for a 5 night cruise to Bermuda?

When I look at that cruise on another website...it shows only an owners suite and some grand suites available.....so....if its close to sold out, they have no reason to discount a close in sailing.

Keep in mind that it is also "Labor Day" time so the prices will be reflected as such.

If I ever pay that much for a 5 day cruise, it's going to be on an ultra luxury line.

[Seannie]

I think I would prefer to buy a used car instead.

[BecciBoo]

That's ridiculous.  I'm sure it was an error, call and get a qte from RCCL agent for it.  No way... we had the Liberty Presidential suite with 8 people in it, 4 bathrooms for half that.

[Another_Critic]

I would ... if it included permanent Pinnacle status for me and 3 (rotating) guests.

[Surfguyxxx]

Not me but I would entertain a Royal Up bid.

Come to Las Vegas.  This is the most expensive suite in Vegas although anyone who stays in that room is a big roller and is comped 

 

"The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas is taking the concept of luxe travel to a whole different level. Its new Damien-Hirst-designed Empathy Suite costs $100,000 a night. The room is the most expensive in America, beating out one at The Mark hotel, which previously held the accolade at $75,000 a night"

I think that is to much for that class of ship  We had the two bedroom grand suite on the Harmony for 7 days for $10,000 for four adults. Coastal kitchen was a big draw for us

Not even if I won the $800m lottery tonight........

[MississippiMom]

Is "Hell to the no" allowed on the boards?  That reply seems fitting.

Too hot to go outside so I’m fooling around on the RCL website and Cruisecritic.  Just for kicks, I checked to see the price for a 2 BR Grand Suite (for two adults, two kids) on the August 27th Adventure of the Seas five night cruise to Bermuda from Cape Liberty.  It was $21,348.

 

I’m sure it’s a nice big room and ok it’s got two bathrooms, but $21,348?  I understand inflationary pressures and I get that it usually pays to book ahead,  but really?  $21,348 for 5 nights?  From a business perspective, I really don’t get the price algorithms.  
 

The amount of RCL cruise price fluctuation blows my mind.  I want say I looked at the same room two weeks ago and it was half the price.  

No

[Oceansaway17]

Nope, nada, No, ain't no way.  I could take 4-5 cruises staying in an inside room for the price of this trip.

[Husky1987]

Meh.  People have "wasted" far more on far less.  If you have $20k that doesn't matter to you and you want to get away for a few days, go for it.

[LMaxwell]

Wouldn't get me to click the button even if you were playing Russian Roulette.

Good grief, what a bunch of cheapskates!  Would somebody please just buy this damned cruise so RCCL can turn a profit this quarter?

Heard at the company’s 2022 Q3 earnings report:

 

“Despite previously issued guidance projecting a quarterly loss, due to a surprise and wholly unexpected 20 thousand plus booking on a two decade plus ship for only a five night sailing, combined with understaffed ships fleet-wide, we are pleased to announce a narrow earnings beat both on the top & bottom line.”

[rjrpar]

No, why pay $21000 for a $2000 vacation?

[John Reid]

I draw the line at $21,250 for 5-night cruises.

The same reason some people blow $21k at the craps table in Vegas in 15 minutes.  Because they can.

I could do 6-8  (7 nights) all included on celebrity concierge or aqua for that price.

[cruisequeen4ever]

That’s sometimes the cost of a world cruise in an Inside stateroom! 

[time4u2go]

If I was willing to pay that much for a 5-night cruise, I certainly wouldn't be cruising on RCCL!

[rudeney]

It seems you should have booked this when you had a chance at $21,348.  The price has gone up by over $1,800!!!
