GSPG Posted June 18, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 18, 2023 We’ve been on two Celebrity cruises in the past and loved them. But I’m horrified the price quoted for our 26 year old son who needs a cabin of his own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahasamatman Posted June 18, 2023 #3 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Cruise lines sell per-cabin, not per-person. Thus, a single pays as much as two people for a cabin. The only savings are per-person charges like gratuities, port fees, and taxes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted June 18, 2023 #4 Share Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) 2 passengers generate more on onboard revenue which is where profit comes from. Edited June 18, 2023 by jelayne Thpo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crzndeb Posted June 18, 2023 #6 Share Posted June 18, 2023 I booked a solo infinite Veranda on the Edge next May, and it was cheaper than a double occupancy interior. Look for solo cabins, but they do go fast. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lena11033 Posted June 18, 2023 #7 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Other cruise lines do the same, at least Edge class has nice solo rooms. The ones on NCL seem to be a glorified interior room. I know booking a room that has double occupancy I will be paying more so have to look for deals - right now my cruise for next year is a sunset veranda so right now do not have wifi or drinks package because it added so much more to the price 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, so what kind of price are you talking about here that is horrifying and for what type of stateroom, how many nights, and cruise location?

lola2013 Posted June 18, 2023 #9 Share Posted June 18, 2023 I have three SVs booked for upcoming cruises. With the 75% off second passenger offer that has been ongoing, it is much more affordable. I book cruise only…don’t need drinks or WiFi. Earning double captains club point is a great perk also! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypothetical and silly maybe but if Celebrity priced per person they could have all the cabins with one person in meaning half the income which doesn’t make much business sense. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or perhaps we have been lucky in the past, and having done ‘only’ five cruises. That’s true, but for a family with an ‘older child’ to big to share with now makes it much more expensive.

You do you, but I have sailed with my adult son in a cabin with my husband and I and we managed. Not as comfortable as when he was a kid, but it worked. Have you considered an inside cabin across the hall just for sleeping and bathing, and he could hang out in your cabin? Or perhaps a Sky Suite (although talk about sky high prices, those are definitely up there!). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or perhaps a Sky Suite (although talk about sky high prices, those are definitely up there!). It seemed to work okay the first and second time we sailed, and were in a room together. Since then we have been in singles which were owing to good deals at the time, and we have discussed but wouldn’t go back now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do Concierge rooms stack up for room for 3 adults compared to ‘normal’ veranda rooms. Still have to run this past my son yet! The 3 of us had a Sunset Veranda room on Eclipse 6 years ago. From memory we got by, but he is older and had cabins of his own since then and would be hard to go back to a three? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, infinite verandahs do not have balconies. They have windows that open. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
