I waited a year before doing the Prima so it was more reasonable. The devil made me book this one 😈 Viva won't be the newest ship in the fleet in 2026. Aqua takes that spot in about 6 months from now. Hopefully that will make the Viva cruise prices drop a bit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnoliaBlossom Posted September 6 #777 Share Posted September 6 True, but I think the current prices are still in “new ship mode”. I, too, hope the prices will drop when Aqua launches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m giving it serious thought…new ship, itinerary with lots of ports we’ve not been too…cruising with some nice CC folks. Tempting. Last year we had a Prima cruise with ggtexasgal, graphic guy and Linda, whose screen name escapes me. Rocket Man was onboard but only graphic guy caught up with him. It was great fun. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be lurking on the waterfront and near afternoon cookies. 🤞 I’ll most likely have a melted credit card as pre PC cruise we are on the Sun 1/19 Melbourne-Auckland flying to LA on the 4th to rest and catch the Joy. 🤪 The afternoon cookies were definitely spotted at the Observation Lounge on the Joy during tea time in June. I was stalking them until cookies started to mysteriously appear in my cabin. It was likely a ploy to distract me away from the OL which failed miserably. Hope to meet you on the 2/6 PC cruise @2bc cruisers. Fingers and toes crossed that you are able to dock at every port in NZ. That is a fabulous itinerary on the Sun. However, I don't envy you having to take that long flight to LA. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruiseny4life Posted Wednesday at 02:53 PM #783 Share Posted Wednesday at 02:53 PM It's been quiet here! So, I just did a looksie at prices given NCL's "gimmick" $1,000 off (*up to) cruises. The price for the June cruise has gone up slightly, about $100 from when I priced it earlier. The January cruise seems to be about the same. So...well, at least prices are holding roughly steady. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I have to act NOW? $1,000 off sounds like a deal of a lifetime. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
complawyer Posted Wednesday at 03:02 PM #785 Share Posted Wednesday at 03:02 PM hey cruiseny, as you are a travel agent, ,once again i am surprised at this post. the issue isnt that the prices are holding at roughly the same, they have done so for almost the last 3 years, regardless of how NCL spins their sales. the point is, where the heck is the up to $1,000 off cruises, that have so blatantly been offered?

Rare graphicguy Posted Wednesday at 03:51 PM #787 Share Posted Wednesday at 03:51 PM My December Getaway sailing just dropped $200 for my cabin. Probably ask for the OBC now, instead of waiting for it to drop more...if it drops more...or if it goes up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not buying that but nice sentiment. Ends up being a $300 FCC. All the ore reason to give those 2026 cruises a look-see! Ad an aside, thinking of all of my NY friends today!
