Hi fellow cruisers,

 

on the 21st December I booked the C. Silhouette´s 22.4.24  13 night Transatlantic  crossing.

A V2 Balcony with the All INC Bogo75  for 2 Pax  for Euros 3308.

 

Today 2 days later it costs  Euro 5113  for the same cabin. 

 

Crazy pricing don´t you think !!

Happy cruising

Yes, crazy.  Aren't you glad you nabbed the lower price.

Happy holidays to you.

Supply and demand

Not as crazy as one of our bookings when the price of a Royal suite was more than the PH we booked before we could even finalize the booking with our CVP.

Wow! That's a hefty increase...but it doesn't really surprise me since they appear to be getting whatever price they ask for. As @jelayne says, supply and demand...and demand is good apparently...but I can say they will never get that money from me...

Another fine example of you snooze you lose. If you see a good deal, grab it before it is gone.

That's the reason I try to book as early as possible when the itineraries come out. My experience is they only go up from there.

The example I have was a pricing error I'm sure, but last week I booked a NYE 4 night trip in a sunset concierge cabin for $840 AI, refundable total cabin price for 2.  Two hours later the price was $2,830.  Later that day it had shown up in my future cruises so I started the process to transfer it to my TA.  Today I received notice it has been transferred so I'm pretty confident at this point that price will be honored and we'll be sailing the Caribbean for NYE in 2 years!

[deliver42]

They will honor it. I don't think you have any worries as long as you have the conformation.

TAs really seem to have a huge price jump when a cabin category supply gets low.  We booked a 2024 TA on RCI a few weeks ago, and our category is now more than double!  I’ve watched the pricing on Celebrity as well, and booking early really seems to make a difference.
