Why are Inside Cabins More Expensive than OV???

[rocketmom09]

Cruising on Freedom Sept 5 (1st cruise). I've been checking the prices and I've found one price drop for us and now the prices are going up. We have an ocean view cabin. What I don't understand is for the past week or more the least expensive cabins on the ship (the inside cabins) have been bumped up $50 MORE than an OV! Heck, a person that was considering an inside cabin could pay an extra $30 and have a Balcony!

 

You experienced cruisers -- why would Carnival be doing this? :confused: And should I just give up looking for a price reduction now for OceanView?

Supply and demand... pretty simple...

For whatever reason folks are looking for the IS cabins and not for the OV...

My guess is the OV are less desirable location and inside more desirable.

 

Carnival is extremely good at moving unsold cabins.

When we did a TA on Queen Mary2 our balcony was less than an OV because of location. There's nothing to see on a TA, but it was nice to be able to sit out in the sun and fresh air.:rolleyes:

You have to go another page or two thru the booking process to compare Inside and Oceanview within the same Booking type.
