I guess my PCC gave me a deal on our 7day cruise.

 

Was this for a Pinnacle-class ship?

It depends on the length of ur cruise.. 7 day cost was $20.00 pp per day, 14 day was $15.00pp per day.  We are sailing on casino rates, so decided just to book thru HAL, since the online agency I use charge a cancel fee, which can be use for another cruise.  I didn’t want the hassle as this cruise is not  until over a year from now.

It was $25/pp/day for our 7 day cruise in December. It drops to $15/pp/day when you get to 14 days, I think. So, 14 days costs less than 10. $250 pp vs. $210.

 

CO is included with Neptune and Pinnacle Suites.

I’m pretty sure the non-Pinnacle class ships are less per day than the Pinnacle class.  Have never purchased it for the other classes so I can’t be positive, though.

It's $25/day pp for 13 days and less. It's $15/day pp for 14 days and up. Does not change per ship. 😊

Just called today and was quoted over 1800$ for 14 days club orange!  And I had read this online too.   Another conundrum 

 

Maybe the rep thought you were asking about HIA?

Thanks. That's what I thought because it's on the Club Orange PDF I diwnloaded from the HAL site. There wasn't no mention of per ship pricing. In fact, when CO first launched, it was $35/day.

It sure is.  I bought it for my last cruise on a non pinnacle ship.

Actually it was $50 in the very beginning and they wanted to charge solo cruisers double. That was short lived thankfully because I assume no one was biting.

That was my thought.

[*Miss G*]

Thank you, all!  My point of reference must be from the early days when they were still playing with costs.  1-7 days was $50; 8-13 days was $35; 14+ days was $25; and non P-class ships had a lesser cost (I believe it was $10 per category).

 

I wonder why someone would pay the same cost for a non-Pinnacle class ship when there is no separate dining room?  I don’t see any advantage for those ships.  🤔

My guess would be the upgrade of the cabin.

The tote bag, of course! 😁 And the chance to show off your orange key card. You'll be so proud buying drinks in front of the non-Co passengers. But then a Neptune Suite guest will show up with their gold card and you will realize just how sad and worthless your life is, your salty, bitter tears dripping onto your orange tote bag - the one that brought you joy only moments before. Now, it's a tragic reminder of your pathetic existence.

Some simply like the amenities but there are some that  really do like they’re paid for status.

Of course.  That usually is less than I higher level of cabin.

It’s $25 for cruises 13 days in or less, or $15 otherwise.  Here is info about it

That’s great.  Glad you got it sorted out.

I was monitoring a cruise about two months ago at $3800 pp for balcony.   When $1. Deposit came last week, the same balcony was $7100.  Pp   Next day after sale itwas $4850 pp.    a lot of fudging with their numbers

Exactly!  It's almost a full-time job monitoring the pricing on cruises you are interested in!!

I wonder how I had the time to do that when I was still working full time +??  😉

I relate - it's like having 2 full time jobs - the one that pays me and the 1 I pay. I don't have time for 2 full time jobs - I have a cruise to take!!
