Hi all;
I've been on two cruises, both with Royal Caribbean, booked through a travel agent. Since a "bucket list" item for me is a trip on the Queen Mary 2, I started looking at prices online. But I found a wide discrepancy between prices on Cunard's website and third-party sites.
Example #1: Roundtrip Transatlantic, departs New York May 5, 2025.
Cunard's site has a per-person price of $3,579 for a balcony stateroom.
A third-party site has a balcony stateroom for $6,033 per person.
Example #2: New England & Canada, departs New York July 1, 2025.
Cunard's site says $1,639 per person for a balcony stateroom.
A balcony stateroom on the previous third-party site lists for $5,557 per person.
Can someone more knowledgeable explain why there's such a large difference in prices? (I haven't contacted my travel agent yet.)
Thanks for the advice.
