Dudleydog73 Posted November 5, 2013 #52 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Not me....signed in and am getting $1599pp plus taxes for balcony. Definitely appears targeted as I am seeing 1599pp as well when signed into my account for the week of Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafig Posted November 5, 2013 #53 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I was looking in April and balcony prices seem very reasonable. Lower than Royal Caribbean and Celebrity and higher than Carnival. In one case a 7 day Royal cruise was priced lower than a 5 day Ruby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorset Cruiser Posted November 5, 2013 #54 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Thanks for the perspective, Mom33. There has been about 40,000 people that have been on the Royal so far, and how many have we heard from???? Still looking forward to our cruise on a new ship with my family. We are blessed. Paul But there again, the vast majority of those 40,000 passengers could well have hated the new ship but would never post on Cruise Critic and have probably never even heard of it.

In one case a 7 day Royal cruise was priced lower than a 5 day Ruby. I have been watching a 10 night in Feb 2015. It's steadily stayed almost 3800.00 for a regular balcony two doors down from the mini-suite we will be in soon. Was really trying to find a ship we hadn't been on with a few islands we hadn't been to and seems impossible. Have never sailed NCL but they had a great itinerary on a 10 night but the days it left and came back used too many week days, no way hubby could get that much time of work. It was 2700.00 for balcony and had 3 islands we hadn't been to. It seems like so many big new ships come out and they just go to the same places. If the price would come down some on the 2/15 Royal sailing I would book it in a heartbeat!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcsunlover Posted November 5, 2013 #57 Share Posted November 5, 2013 The price of a balcony cabin next to the one we have booked on the Royal in March is showing a total of $900 more than we paid. Doesn't look like prices are dropping to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiselovers20 Posted November 5, 2013 #61 Share Posted November 5, 2013 no doom and gloom for us either! we just got off the 5-nite cruise and LOVED it! it is new ship, built in the 21st century and it should be different from the existing ships. we are looking forward to sail it again as well as the Regal in Oct 2014!

WendyG Posted November 5, 2013 #62 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Wow - that is unheard of! I just looked myself and that is what I am getting. Did you look today? I just looked and the balcony is 1599! I have friends sailing on her that week and I would have loved to surprise them but I am not paying that price. 649 I would have paid! (and figured out a way to tell my boss since I have no vacation time left!) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enyliram Posted November 6, 2013 #63 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I HAVE A HOLD FOR 12/22 CHRISTMAS CRUISE BALCONY CAT BB for the 649 pp price. only thing stopping me is the thought of too many children on this cruise. however the price really is 649 pp. MUST DECIDE BY TOMORROW.

I just signed in and got $649 pp for a balcony for the dec 22 sailing. Crazy part: inside is $1099pp!!! A mini I $949. Nice price whenever a balcony is less than $100pp per day. BTW: not sure demographic Princess is targeting. I am elite and 65+. Guess just lucky. Would go if I didn't have conflicting plans.

What else could it be? 649 is a lot less than 1599! Just doesn't seem right. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it doesn't seem right but I am not in PA and get $649. There are many factors in your passenger profile that we are not privy to which may affect pricing. Just like airlines there may be 20 different fares for the same accommodations. Mike:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icat2000 Posted November 6, 2013 #75 Share Posted November 6, 2013 You probably get the same waffle from Princess like we have regional pricing policies blah blah blah. I feel like saying to them do you want to sell the cabin or not at that price. Why does it matter what your zip code is. Its very annoying.
