Rotterdam- pricing

[nancycara]

We are looking at the Rotterdam for next summer to the Baltics. We see a big difference in pricing between June 23rd sailing and July 29th. The 23rd is actually more expensive, which I was expecting the opposite. Any ideas of why???

The most probable reason is because more of the earlier cruise has been sold... Would't they raise the price if the demand was higher?

 

Some people might also have been reading this year's weather report, and are hoping for a cooler weather in June. They might also want to avoid the later sailings because in many countries people supposedly have their holidays in July-August (even though I've never noticed any real difference).

 

 

But this is all just speculation, and for all I know the price difference could be down to the AC units consuming more fuel in the warmer months of the year. :D
