$75 and change for a 7 night on Mariner about 5 years ago. We had to pay the port taxes and fees but the rest of the cruise was paid for by our RCCL Visa points.

 

Now your answer, $599 pp for a junior suite on Freedom this past December.

Wow $599 for a junior suite on the Freedom. I LIKE that one. Was it a residency and/or military rate or just a regulard low low rate??

$1300 total for 2 for upcoming Oasis, though I cant post how I got this price.

 

PS I would have loved the $599 price for a JS. How many days was that cruise?

 

We did a $489 pp JS on Liberty, but it was only for 3 days.

Right now they have a balcony gty for $339 on the April 14th sailing of the Navigator. I've already used the recent price drops to move from a interior gty to an oceanview gty. I'm still debating if I should snag the balcony. It would only be $140 more than we originally paid and a great surprise for my husband as he as never sailed in a balcony.

I must first apologize, it was not $599, it was $699.

 

This was a Tuesday Sales Event Special. The cruise was for December 12th and we booked it December 6th. NEVER had we done a last minute cruise like this. Talk about having to get moving on everything as we had no airfare or transportation to/from port or precruise hotel.

 

The price advertised was $799 but with our C & A discount, the cabin was $699. And yes, you can combine your C & A discount with the Tues Sales event pricing.

 

Sorry for my error earlier.

Still a good price. I forgot to deduct our C and A discount from our cruise so instead of $249 per person it was $199 per person plus port and tax. I need more of those deals. We live in Florida so don't have to worry about flights but I am still not so good at being spontaneous. Will have to monitor those Tuesdays specials more closely:rolleyes:

449.00 for a JS 4 night on Monarch.

 

Loved those double points! :)

 

$1,000 per person for a D1 corner aft, 10th deck summer Explorer of the Seas cruise lasting 9 nights - during the summer months. The price started out at $1,800 per person; lots of price drops, senior discounts, and residency discounts accumulated as we booked 16 months out.

 

$1,200 per person on an Easter cruise, 8 nights on Jewel of the seas. Booked 12 months ahead. Did not get any price drops - just watched the prices increase at a steady rate of speed up to about $2,000 per person. Again, D1, hump balcony.

 

Booking early has paid off for us.

Me too. 7 nights Mariner May 2009. D1 aft for $366 each including port and taxes...because the price was cut drastically as this was the second week that she went north instead of to the Mexican Riviera because of H1N1.
