deliver42 Posted August 17, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I just did a mock booking for the Prima Dec, 2022, and almost fell over. $4756.00 for a balcony with free at sea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippeedee Posted August 17, 2022 #5 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I booked a 14 day Prima cruise on the fist day they were announced. My “one person in a balcony” has increased from around $9000 (before my credits from cancelled cruises) to about $15,000 now. Glad I booked early!

2 Fun Guys Posted August 17, 2022 #6 Share Posted August 17, 2022 2 passengers Christmas week, right? Everyone has their price point, I know. But isn't that pretty cheap given the timing? Not stirring any pot here - genuinely curious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many different types of cruise lines and different levels of cruise cabins as well. Surely something within everyone's means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a 14 night cruise booked on the Prima for next October out of England. Price was around $8,000 last time I checked it was about $16,000. We decided to cancel and do something else. I am sure we will try the Prima eventually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelling2Some Posted August 18, 2022 #13 Share Posted August 18, 2022 We were booked on the Prima but then got cancelled for a charter. Wanted to try the ship since it is a new design and we liked the look of it but I did not like the prices when I went to rebook the Prima. I took a look at the Viva for 2024 out of San Juan and found it much more reasonable. Essentially the same ship and we have plenty of other places to go in the meantime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's for 2, that's a bargain. A balcony cabin on the POA is $7,000, and I'm happy to pay it. Edited August 18, 2022 by NikiPinkston 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sailing12Away Posted August 18, 2022 #16 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Call me crazy, but that sounds like a reasonable price to me for a brand spanking new ship. OP also failed to mention how many days the cruise is for, or where it's sailing as all of that greatly impacts the cost. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sailing12Away Posted August 18, 2022 #18 Share Posted August 18, 2022 LOL... found the cruise and even added in flights from SC based on the OP's stated location. You snooze you loose... price already went up to $5400. Better hurry and finish that booking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If OMG isn't a bargain, then its usually an affordability issue as people don't "OMG" over something in their price range. So why not book it?

Yes, we selected a cabin on Deck 9, port-side and, with free-at-sea, it was actually a bit more than that. We had also sailed the POA in 2016, and you're right, the fare has really gone up. Love Hawaii, though, so for us it's worth it. Thank you for your well wishes!😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare graphicguy Posted August 18, 2022 #21 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Prima….NCL’s newest ship….sailing during the Holiday Season? Yeah, it’s going to be expensive. Find a different ship, or shift your sail dates a little. There are bargains out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it’s going to be expensive. Find a different ship, or shift your sail dates a little. There are bargains out there. I think we got a pretty good bargain so that is one of the reasons we canceled the Prima out of England October 2023 because we wanted also do a TA back to the states so we found a 14 night cruise on the Serenade that did Iceland and Norway for $2566.00 total not per person for a balcony guarantee. Royal canceled that one and allowed us to move to the Jewel TA for 17 nights for the same price end of August next year.. Will do Iceland and Greenland but not Norway. Seems like a deal to me and eventually we will do the Prima. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detroitlions Posted August 18, 2022 #25 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Yea I saw the price was more than the Escape the week before Christmas too. About the same as the OP said for the Christmas week. But I was paying that pre pandemic. The new ship there just not giving out the bargains I wouldn't either. Came down to the stops for me the stops Prima had were not my favorite.
