Rare John&LaLa Posted January 11, 2016 #4276 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I'm a long-time CC fan and single/solo cruiser. The last two cruises I enjoyed I found and booked a single balcony cabin for less than $100/day. Since last year I haven't been able to find anything close to that price! Do tell, are cruise prices for single's going up? Yes, I *do* know of many online agencies. (CC rules restrict us from mentioning these many agencies.) Yet, searching many resources, I can't find my goal. Am I dreaming?? My goal: A single/solo balcony cabin priced at less than $100/day. Impressive goal, maybe on a repositioning, good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a solo in a balcony for less then $100 a day I think is almost impossible, unless you do a last minute cruise. Then its absolutely doable. My last cruise on Breakaway in November, I booked 2 days before sailing a guarantee balcony. They gave me a family mini balcony suite. It cost me $599, not including taxes and fees.

Nisky18 Posted January 13, 2016 #4285 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I believe any cruise can be negotiated so I usuall find a cruiseline rep, tell the repy intended price point, departure port and dates for cruising, then let the rep do magic. I'm usually called back at some point if my needs aren't met at that first contact. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nisky18 Posted January 13, 2016 #4286 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Oops, I didn't read and edit before posting...my last post should state.."I usually find a cruiseline rep,tell the rep my intended price point, departure port and dates for cruising, then let the rep do magic. If my needs aren't met at that first contact I'm usually called back at some point when they can come close. I was once called when a new promotion became effective. I confess this has worked when tavelling with others. Though I've considered solo travel I havent yet made the move.

They have an upgrade promotion going on as well, so you can actually get an oceanview guarantee for $1,074 before taxes. Total (w/ taxes, fees, and beverage package service charge) of $1,417 with $50 OBC. Pretty good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a "glitch" with NCL. It will initially show a higher price, but if you click on the $1998 price the next screen will show you much lower cabin options.

Where did you get these prices? I just went to the NCL's website only to see the prices as: $449, $499, $649 and $999 as the pricing. Does this mean I can not trust NCL's website for the latest pricing? Oh, I looked again the price the OP quoted are for the Jan 31/2016 sailing!

There is a glitch on the NCL booking system, that will show a higher price. I see those low rates for the 1/24/16 cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
