CHuntMD Posted March 18, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 18, 2012 For 2013 Radiance 6/14/2013 NB $4338 Jr. Suite 6/21/2013 SB $5038 Jr. Suite 6/28/2013 NB $4738 Jr. Suite Looks like the same stops just in reverse. Any idea why the SB is more $? CEH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted March 18, 2012 #2 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Pure supply and demand. Yikes, is that for 2 people? I just picked up a price dumped Princess sailing, going northbound. Had already snagged a southbound 2012 HAL last year. So, another bargain trip for me, this year. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deladypilot Posted March 18, 2012 #3 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Some cruise lines have little bits of variance on their north and south bound cruises. This could me higher permit prices getting into the glaciers. Cruises can only go in via permit and they have to pay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted March 18, 2012 #4 Share Posted March 18, 2012 One of the reasons I just booked RCI Radiance Northbound in May 2013 was $3976.42 for a JS cabin catagory :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olemissreb Posted March 18, 2012 #5 Share Posted March 18, 2012 When I was doing my research, for some reason I remember the port times being longer going Southbound. Maybe that's the reason for the difference? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHuntMD Posted March 18, 2012 Author #6 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Thanks for the replies, I have my folks, my sister (4pl) and my Cousin (5pl), Aunt and then me and the DW. We usually go to the Caribbean (east coasters) but want to try an Alaska cruise. Have been using CC forums for a long time and will be reviewing the Alaska Port of Call with more vigor once we set a date. CHuntMD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agabbymama Posted March 20, 2012 #7 Share Posted March 20, 2012 According to this website, a lot of posters prefer Southbound. If they are doing any interior touring, to do that first, then relaxing cruise Southbound. Or getting the longer flight over with at the beginning of the trip, then cruising Southbound. Thus the Southbound cruises are usually more expensive than the Northbound. I have done both. I actually prefer Northbound as the scenery just keeps getting better and better the farther North you go. When we cruised Southbound, you knew when you started getting close to Vancouver, your trip was almost over.:( Have a great trip, Alaska is awesome.
