What are you paying for your cruise?

[Casey]

We payed $1352 for 8 day cruise 6A guarentee on the Spirit in March 08. Our last cruise was almost 3 years ago, I am so excited I dont care what it costs!

We paid $1096 for our upcoming Fantasy 5 day cruise (September 8). That's for 4 people, inside stateroom on Empress Deck.

 

We are doing the same cruise next April, with an inside guarantee, for $1254.72 for the 4 of us.

 

Prices include tax, but not gratuities.

 

We're also going on the NCL Spirit in December - cashed in some Sea Miles and all we had to pay was port charges and taxes - so it came to about $500 for the 4 of us for a 7 day cruise.

 

 

Mardi Gras week 2008 Fantasy Total $1197.36 (For two ) Ocean View, 5 Day.(New Orleans)

 

The week after Mardi Gras the price is almost half. This year the school system here In st. Tammany is off for the whole week, and because wife is a school teacher only time we can go.

We're paying $1798 for 2 for an 8-B on the Conquest for Jan of '09.

I'm hoping it'll go down but since Conquest usually sails full I don't expect a price reduction.

I always keep it at $100.00 pp/pd for a balcony cabin I pick myself

Do you use a regular Travel Agent, an on-line site, or direct with cruise lines?

We try to keep to $100 pp/day but we haven't been lucky enough to get balconies. How do you do it?

Well, this one is a pricey one. My DH and I are going to Europe for 12 days. For both of us we are paying $6600.00 plus some change, and we only have a outside stateroom. This also includes all the taxes and our tips. But of course it does not figure in the cost of staying in London and Rome one night each at a hotel and all our excursions. I am guessing when it is all said and done, probably over twelve grand which I am not complaining about at all, we are going to London, Paris, Rome and many more ports.

We got a great price on our October Destiny cruise. It's an inside 4C for $429 pp with taxes and port charges included, but not the prepaid tips. We booked back in February. I think that has a lot to do with the price.

We payed 1,231.46 for 6 day on Liberty in Oct. Guaranteed balcony and have been up graded to 8C Verandah deck mid ship. That does not include tips I can't wait!!!

[rhuntington3]

I paid $1798 for an 8D balcony on Conquest for 9/23/2007. With the insurance, it was a little over $2K.

[sobie26]

We are paying for our September 8, 2007 cruise on the Triumph out of Miami about 1850 for the 2 of us. This is a week cruise.

 

This includes rountrip airfare from Newark to Miami 160 each.

Aft Balcony on the Empress Deck Category 8B $1403 for the two of us

Gratuity 140 for the two of us

 

I think that we did well.

[emmick12]

We paid 2000 can. for cat 6 for 2 adults and 2 kids on the Glory 10/13/07.I,m happy with that with the way the lonnie has gained:)

[wannacruisemore]

NEW YEARS CRUISE!! We are paying much more for our Cruise on the Pride. If we would have booked 2 weeks before or 1 week after it would have been cheaper! Cat 11 on the empress deck.. But I knew that, it is even more now than when we booked in Feb.:)

[jode]

on Carnival Liberty leaving 9/1 - we paid $979 for a balcony on the Veranda deck - think it was an 8C (but am not positive). We booked it in February and are past guests (but only one Carnival - not platinum). We thought it was a good rate (and still do). I do research it pretty well before approaching my travel agent with my "ideal price" - - and they have matched it every time.

[flahagan]

$1082 pp incl. taxes and port charges for 4A guarantee on the Oct. 1, 2008, 12-night Grand Med cruise on the Carnival Freedom, PLUS $200 shipboard credit

 

I booked this in late June and haven't seen anything to beat it yet, but I keep looking!

[cruizer4662]

We always sail inside and anything less than $100 pp, we feel is a good price. It always depends on type of cabin, time of year and number of port visited.

[neatokimmo]

We are paying $298 PP taxes included for our 1-7-08 cruise on the Fantasy. With the stock OBC and group OBC its $223 :D

[gamecockcruiser]

We are paying $495 per person for our Glory cruise and $208 per person for our Celebration cruise. It just depends on the time and how much I am willing to pay.

[fllady61]

I paid $1096 for a balcony on the Valor (7 days) on July 15th.

 

 

this is per person correct?

[cabin gal]

Hi Neatokimmo....we are booked on the Triumph for 9/8! Will take real good care of her for you and be sure there is lobster and chocolate melting cake waiting when you arrive!! And, frozen yogart and pizza etc.

Where are you from in TN? I was raised in Chatt., came to Fl in the 60's.

 

To get to the question....we have a great TA and she will beat any price I give her. Not by tons, but $50 or so. I like to figure around $100 pp/pd is a good buy. I can stay home and spend that much!!!! And, still have rooms to clean, beds to make and meals to cook. No better deal anywhere for a TRUE vacation.

I'll start it off with what i paid $1462 which included all taxes etc for my girlfried and I. It was an eight day on the legend. We went to cozumel,grand cayman,belize,and costa maya.

 

Well, we took a chance and did the "suite guarantee" for about $730...We ended up getting a penthouse! Never even had a baconey so I am pretty psyched. We do have an interline rate however, so that helps...

[cruzinstew]

I'm jealous...

$1082 pp incl. taxes and port charges for 4A guarantee on the Oct. 1, 2008, 12-night Grand Med cruise on the Carnival Freedom, PLUS $200 shipboard credit

[Emerald31]

We are paying $1600 pp including taxes and port charges for the Legend for our cruise in October 2008 for a catagory 8E. Looking at prices for 2009.

[CountryFox]

We are paying $1064.00 canadian including taxes pp for 8a balcony for Miracle on Jan 2/08 - booked in March 07

[Mrsg324]

Inside cabin, with taxes, port charges, & insurance, booking less than a month away we paid 1239 for 4 of us on Fantasy in July. It was peak season, sold out ship. I know I could have gotten it lower had I booked earlier but had no clue I'd be going on a cruise in July.

 

In June we paid 722 pp for inside cabin on RCI Rhapsody. A few months after we booked the same cabin catagory was going for 1300 pp.

[Emerald31]

That price for the Legend is $1600 for the 2 of us and not pp as I previously wrote.

[Poomah]

Pay what I can afford - when I can afford it. Have had inside, outside, and balconies - maybe someday a suite or better.....

It isn't about the money - it's all about the time away with the one (or ones,ie family) I love. Happy Cruising to all!;)
