Thank you for those replying to me. I was kind of hoping that we might see a price decrease. In my mind I was wondering if they priced that particular cruise so high because the 2023 one hasn't really filled, and they want to push people to the one this year before looking to the next year. I'll see what happens. Lots of other itineraries didn't have that same bump, so there's probably some sort of explanation for it. It will be interesting to watch these prices. I'm probably going to wait to book, and look for alternatives if that particular itinerary doesn't come down. I'm just trying to send my mom on some sort of adventure, so she might have to make due with a different itinerary 😂 Thanks again everyone.

That makes sense. If people are going to pay, they have incentive. But both of those prices that I screen shot are for the basic package. With Princess Plus, it jumps to 3660$ per guest on the 2024 cruise. It just seems like an intense jump in prices. Perhaps the demand is there. I was looking at Royal for a similar itinerary, and they, too, have a jump in price, but that price increase is for only a few hundred dollars between 2023 and 2024. I'm new to cruising as I went on my first one in 2022, and with the prices and experience, I was prepared to keep doing cruises, but if this is the future of prices, I just don't know.

Are prices doubling in 2024? Is this normal? I'm looking to book a cruise to send my mom on in 2024. It's a gift, but I'm looking at the 2024 timeline so that I have more time to save money for her. When I first started, I was looking at 2023 prices, but now the 2024 itineraries are available, and they are literally double. The cruise I was looking at is a 12 day British Isles cruise. A balcony room in 2023 = 1500$ PP A balcony room in 2024 = 2947$ PP The itineraries are slightly different, but they are pretty much the same. The cruise dates are both the start of July. I'm just wondering if this price discrepancy is normal, or is it that travel is just shooting up in 2024?
