girlcruiser Posted April 20, 2015 #3551 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Studio in Breakaway for solo cruiser is cheaper per person than the per person rate if two are traveling. Just booked 7 nights for $552 with a $25 OBC. Own when are you traveling I am traveling next weekend on the Breakaway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

42CruiseCrazy Posted April 20, 2015 #3554 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Thanks for posting; I don't like those little solo cabins but the price is tempting. Got one on hold while I give this some thought :) I stayed in a studio on Breakaway and in an inside cabin on Getaway (because it was cheaper on that particular cruise). Except for the bathroom, I found it the same amount of living space. I preferred the studio because of its location and am doing the studio again on Breakaway in December.

HowardK Posted April 20, 2015 #3555 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Same here- I did inside on the Jewel and Studio on Epic- would pick Studio in a second. Also did the Balcony on the Breakaway but found I didn't stay in it much but it was nice to have extra space to unpack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too winded up booking the 12/4 -12/11/2016 for the Getaway plus 11/26-12/3 on the Escape for $799 - 2 weeks on Breakaway-class ships, not a bad way to spend one's birthday next year. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking about doing the same. Waiting until I get my FCC next week while I'm on the Breakaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logan25 Posted April 21, 2015 #3559 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Thanks to renieg813 for the tip on Getaway in December. I booked December 11-18, 2016 at $422 (plus fees/taxes) and will get $75 OBC to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last February I booked a last minute cruise and then an inside cabin with the single supplement was less money than a studio and the Getaway was cheaper than the Breakaway.

insighttoronto Posted April 22, 2015 #3562 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Thanks to this message board, I'm booked on the Getaway for December 4th to 11th 2016. :) I'm already booked on the Getaway on March 6th 2016 for the VTG 20's, 30's & 40's solo cruise with a different itinerary, but one week is not enough time to do everything on a big cruise ship. I wish could book both weeks in December as a B2B cruise. I look forward to seeing you all onboard in 593 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maywell Posted April 22, 2015 #3565 Share Posted April 22, 2015 It is the name of a Travel Agency and CC prohibits the naming of TA's. Personally, that travel agent is a ripoff especially when NCL solo fares are concerned - one gets better deal(s) elsewhere or directly from NCL itself. Just compare the prices between the 2 and you'll see what I mean.... Sent from my SGH-T399 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insighttoronto Posted April 22, 2015 #3566 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Carnival Vista from Miami, 5 nights, inside cabin on December 11th 2016 is $802 including tax and port fees. I'm going to watch the price and consider doing a back to back cruise after the Getaway December 4th-11th, 7 night cruise for $522 including tax and port fees. Lois R - Thanks for the reminder about the cruise critic policy, so I won't answer Single_dreamer's question. :o Single_dreamer - I'm sure you will find the answer to your question. I encourage you to consider joining an organized solo travel group which are a lot of fun, with group dinners, group excursions, theme nights and at least one open bar event per cruise. :D maywell - I have found that TAs will match prices if you ask. I'm paying the same price and will receive the same OBC credit if I had booked directly with NCL for my March 6th 2016 solo group cruise.

logan25 Posted April 22, 2015 #3567 Share Posted April 22, 2015 This is not a super-duper deal, but decent price for solo. Norwegian Sky 4-night Bahamas (RT Miami) December 5-9 inside $299 oceanview $374 balcony $599 December 12-16 inside $329 oceanview $419 balcony $599 (plus port fees/taxes on all fares quoted above) Not a bad deal considering the latest news that NCL Sky will become inclusive of some alcoholic beverage drinks (up to $11, as I read it) in 2016. That is unless the above dates are excluded from the "deal". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catty Posted April 28, 2015 #3573 Share Posted April 28, 2015 How long before a ship sails do you normally book a cruise? I see a price increase in the Getaway and I was waiting until two weeks before, is that a good time.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Colby Pottinger Posted April 28, 2015 #3574 Share Posted April 28, 2015 How long before a ship sails do you normally book a cruise? I see a price increase in the Getaway and I was waiting until two weeks before, is that a good time.? I book a cruise when I think it is a good price for what I will get. I worry about price drops/discounts later. Most of my cruises are booked more than a year ahead of time, so right now I have one for Sept.12.2016 but on the other-hand last December I had to go to Miami anyway and noticed a cheap cruise on the Carnival Breeze and booked it only ten(10) days before it sailed. Look at your budget, check what a cruise will give and book if the numbers are right. Already I had seen good bookings that because I waited a day or two to talk to the person I normally travel with vanish in that 24-48 hour period because others took it. So book as soon as you see something you want and can afford I say, waiting for cheaper prices can back-fire on you. However, I do admit to missing out on some sweet pricings because I was already committed to another sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare insidecabin Posted April 28, 2015 #3575 Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) You have to watch availability as well as prices. If there are drops inside final window capacity can change quickly. You also get all the gty needing cabins so it can look like plenty but not really. Roll calls can give clues when the upsells start and gty allocations happen. I was watching princess in Europe fire/flash sale Thurs on insides/balconies for 2 trips in may not a lot left Friday night. One sold out 3weeks to go. Bottom price 25% up on last year.
