The price has gone up by over $1,800!!! Hah - maybe someone just booked at the price you found. The room is now not appearing in the search results…. Or maybe somebody read this topic and wisely submitted a decent Royalup bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maranelloboy05 Posted July 27, 2022 #52 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I'm quite perplexed at RCLs suite pricing, it doesnt quite make sense to me to be many times the cost of a balcony for a suite. Parents are in a junior suite next week while my wife and I are in a balcony and they're paying double, that just doesnt work for me especially without all the suite amenities. We RoyalUp'd to a Crown Loft back in March and while it was great to experience the suite life I'm not sure I could say its worth much more than $1k-$1500 more than a balcony IMO. We checked and it wouldve been $18,000 for the two of us to book the Crown Loft outright, thats absolutely insane. On the other end of things we did book a suite for a cruise next year on Celebrity. $8,000 for a Balcony vs $12,000 for a suite with full Retreat amenities and $1200 in OBC, that is more in line with how I'd expect suite pricing to be, 50% more for an actual suite, not 300% like on RCL.

I have a 7 night western solo coming up (wife and I each booked a connecting C3) that ran $1500 with the indulge package (so 3K for both of us).

So between the 2 of us (OK me, I footed the bill), it was roughly 3K for the 2 cabins, with $800 obc, plus the $150 (per cabin) from TA. The elevate/indulge promo was discontinued 2-3 weeks ago.

I am always paying for two, whether it is the wife and I or the daughter and I. I have 4 driveable port being where I am in Florida, so I don't have airline for anything Caribbean. So the cost I was referencing would actually be the same for a solo with 100% supplement. I have the luxury of cruising the undersold (hence cheaper) sailings, as I can get time off pretty much any time of year, vs those who have to work around school or holidays. So I cruise when I can find what I consider a pretty good bargain. I can't afford the expensive ones 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted July 31, 2022 #61 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I wouldn't pay that kind of money for any cruise, regardless of itinerary or cruise length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
