Aqua Sky Suite about $4000 per person, while Regular Sky Suite is $5800 per person. Celebrity Suite is only about $200 more per person than SS. So, of course I had to book it 😉😉. Thank you. After you posted this, I went and put an aqua suite on hold. It is 4100.00 with taxes. I just checked now it has been corrected it is over 6000.00 per person now. Thanks again.

All Penthouse,Villa, and Royal suites showing as sold out too.Celebrity Suite now over $8,300 pp. I guess someone found it and “fixed” it. mac_tlc Edited December 14, 2022 by mac_tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruiselyne Posted December 14, 2022 #234 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I booked three back to back cruises for December, 2024 on the Silhouette, all of them in a CS. I paid $4651 and now the price is over $13,000. 😱 I am glad I booked yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCteacherlovescruising Posted December 14, 2022 #235 Share Posted December 14, 2022 All the good deals are making my anxiety skyrocket! I'm cruising with friends on the 2024 trip and they are in no hurry to book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josie201 Posted December 14, 2022 #236 Share Posted December 14, 2022 We booked two SV on the Ascent TA in 2024. I was a bit surprised SV was $100 per cabin cheaper than the IV category E1. We wanted SV but pricing surprised me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that for any future reservation I make, I am risking $100pp. I also assume that I would be able to use any FCC that I may get due to a cancellation of a NRD booking. Different NRD terms on Royal so I am much less likely to book far out with them now. Given my assumptions, which to date have worked out but you never know, I wouldn’t pay very much more to go refundable. Good to have options. Also, at times the AI rates can vary if refundable or non refundable. Doesn’t matter if you are in a suite but can matter for non-suite categories. mac_tlc Edited December 14, 2022 by mac_tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare craig01020 Posted December 14, 2022 #238 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I just booked a Med cruise for Oct. 2024, and a Caribbean for Feb. 2025. I opted for refundable deposits on both. There was no All Included option though. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beyond going to Rome even more. Looking elsewhere..... Hey the Iconic suite is going for $39K+ per person !! and it goes down proportionally from there I don't want to BUY a suite on Celebrity,; I want to RENT one!!!!!!

Lastdance Posted December 15, 2022 #242 Share Posted December 15, 2022 (edited) I made the choice to book Ascent for a 9 day Caribbean cruise. The price was phenomenal, IMHO. Instead of finalizing my cruise online, I decided to call Celebrity Captain's Club. I was rewarded with an extra 100 off. So, the cruise was just released and the price already went down, or was I just special! First time that has ever happened and the person I spoke with was so knowledgeable, fast and entertaining too! I hope I dialed the right Celebrity and not an imposture! Edited December 15, 2022 by Lastdance 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josie201 Posted December 15, 2022 #243 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Attention all ! We booked based on the brochure that was appended here. Our itinerary as posted today on Celebrity’s website is different ! I’ve got a message into my TA for the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tottenhamfc Posted December 15, 2022 #244 Share Posted December 15, 2022 (edited) Not sure when it was released but just booked the cancelled Eclipse on April 7 2024. It now goes from Santiago to Beunos Aries rather than Los Angeles then Buenos Aries to Rio and then Rio to New York. Great itinerary and well priced.

I'll try tomorrow. It’s so far away so I’m not positive we’ll be able to take the cruise. Do you think it’s worth the risk of losing $200 to save $800 in case we can make this sailing? Have you ever taken a transatlantic at this time of the year? I’m hoping that we will have nice weather so we can utilize the outside pools.

I’m going to stop by the future cruise desk to see if it’s too late to change to a NRD booking to save the $800. Have you cruise on TA cruises at this time of the year? This will be our first one and I’m hoping the weather would be nice enough to enjoy the outside pools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie115 Posted December 15, 2022 #247 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Prices are crazy for the same old, same old itineraries.... we've got the Apex TA in April and then we are booking elsewhere.... unfortunate but true. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tottenhamfc Posted December 15, 2022 #248 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I was on the Odyssey when they released the Icon a month or so ago and people were falling over each other to book at double and triple the prices of current ships on RCL.at some point value has to be looked at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islabahia Posted December 15, 2022 #250 Share Posted December 15, 2022 We have a few X cruises booked but at this rate we may cut our losses and head to Oceania or Regent. Super inflated aggressive pricing may begin to cause me to look elsewhere. It’s sad….. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
