One thing that hasn’t been mentioned here yet is the price for all-inclusive for solo cruisers. I’m getting ready to book my first cruise which will be a solo cruise and I really really really want to book Celebrity cause everything looks amazing but their AI price has me thinking twice.
Example: May 30, 2025 Celebrity Summit Alaska cruise which I just priced a few mins ago. Prices in Canadian CAD and I chose same room for comparison purposes.
booking as 1 guest: prime inside stateroom #7063. Total cost $614 CAD cruise only; $2114 All-inclusive + $514 port fees + taxes
booking as 2 guests: prime inside stateroom #7063. Total cost $621 cruise only; $2114 All-inclusive + $1028 port fees and taxes ($514pp)
Cabin I’m 100% okay with paying same price as it would be for 2 people as the space would be occupied regardless of how many people are in the room, but I don’t agree that I should pay the same price for all-inclusive as if a solo cruiser is going to consume as much as two people. Yes I’m aware I don’t have to buy the AI package but I don’t want to sit there with a note in my phone trying to keep track of my spending, cough drinking cough, or having to rely on my sense of self-control to not overspend if I’m having a good night lol!! Maybe i’ll want a latte or something, I just really don’t want to have to be all miserly on my first cruise.
Other cruise lines charge solos around the same as they would per person not added together lol. It’s still an amazing price but it really doesn’t sit well with me.
