Price so low it's almost free!

According to this article, CC editor-in-chief says you shouldn't pay more than $100/pp per day for an inside cabin. Guess the $51/pp I'm paying for my inside on the Splendor next Feb is a steal! :p

 

oh...and I guess the deals are going away. :(

Wow! $51?!?! That's fantastic!

[mrpayroll]

Paying 100.00 a day for inside seems high to me.....paying 56.00 for Miracle before taxes, 62.00 with taxes...:rolleyes:

We are paying less that $100 for a balcony on our b2b2b.

I got an interior on Splendor for $48 a nite, should I wear a ski mask for the robbery I got~?;):D

Awesome price~!!

We also just sailed on the Splendor with a balcony for $84 per night. That stinks if the deals are ending.

That's what I thought too. We paid <$100/pp per day with taxes for our cruise on the Spirit in Nov in an aft balcony. I really hope that deals don't get so bad that $100/pp per day for an inside become a reality.

$100 a day PP for an inside? No way for us. we NEVER pay more than $50 a day pp and many times it is well under that. We cruised on the Miracle a few months back and got an extended aft balcony for $71 PP including all taxes.

last May sailed on teh paradise 4 day at a whopping price of $24.74 per day.

I paid 72.00 a night for a single supplement on RCCL in december. I really feel like I got a deal.

Our cruise next January on Splendor we are paying $48 a day for the "inside" cabin that is actually a porthole cabin and $62 a day (for the first two $25 a day for the other 2) for the connecting outside cabin. I think this next cruise though we are paying around $75 a day for outside. I wish I would have booked for Jan or Feb rather than spring break and saved some money. Lesson learned though.

[soozles]

How in the world do you people find such great deals? Maybe it's because I usually sail during the more popular seasons since that's when I'm off, so I never bother looking at a cruise price during the off season. But the cruise I'm looking at now has inside for about $650, and a balcony for $930, and I kind of thought that was a steal right there, since my last cruise was over New Years, and I paid about $1200 per person for an inside cabin.

We are booked on the Miracle for the after thanksgiving cruise 11/27/10 and we started out at 779.00 for a 8A balcony, it is down now to 679.00, not bad at all , and that is for a 8 day:D

[SkyMaster]

In past years, we used to shoot for under $100 per person per day for an inside, but now that's WAY overpriced! Now I too shoot for the elusive $50 per person per day, and usually wind up at $65-$70. Still not a bad deal IMO. Love the pricing of cruising now days, and hope it doesn't go back up too much. :D

[hihosilvers]

Are we all talking before or after taxes/fees?

[katiecat]

Take total price per cabin divide it by two, then divide sailing days= ???

Hope this helps!

That seems very high to me for an inside. I try to aim for $100/pp per day for a Balcony!!!!

I agree with you I start out paying around $100pp for a balcony but with early saver pricing can get as low as $86.

Love ES:)

[gecko2gecko]

We only paid $100 pp/pd for a spa deck balcony with taxes. I feel lucky now. :cool:

[mom2isabella05cole08]

I think they were referring to all the major cruise lines and the $100 is the cutoff for a good deal.

 

I say this because I've looked at a few different lines including HAL and some of those, the prices were higher. On HAL there's a 7 day cruise in Jan 2011 leaving Tampa and the inside rooms start at 649pp. On Carnival, the 7 day in Jan 2011 out of Tampa starts at 479pp. We paid 1516 before taxes/fees for four of us in a 4k on the Legend (obstructed view with french doors) which works out to 54.14 per person per night. If it were just DH and I, it would be $77pp per night.

 

So, I can see why the article says you shouldn't pay more than $100pp for an inside. Would I pay that much? No. But then again, I usually book a cheap hotel when we go places (especially if it's only for one night) because we don't spend much time in the room...usually just to sleep and shower.

$86 is sweet. Anytime I drop near or below $100 for a balcony I am extremely proud of myself!

 

I have to think the outrageous prices of Disney and Oasis have to be skewing this number?

 

Maybe I am just spoiled by Carnival's pricing.

[1 Part Sand 1 Part Sea]

i WOULDNT pay $100 pp/pd! $1400 bucks for an interior? i dont think so! Our up coming 7 day is only running us $68 pp/pd and thats including taxes and pre-paid grats...... so w/ out grats its $58 pp/pd...

OUCH!! :eek: Hope the "complimentary" champagne was worth it.

Bingo!
