Sorry I messed up the OP. We are booked for Nov 2014 at $1265 total for two with a reg balcony. I have never seen Feb rates this high ??

President's Day? First 7 day cruise after dry dock? Some other group on board?

[Alyrica]

I booked three cruises on the Navigator next year and the 4 day which is the first sailing after dry dock was more expensive than the 6 and 7 day I reserved. Based upon the roll call, the prices were a lot cheaper but went up. I figured it was an issue of supply and demand especially since they were showing sold out categories back in October. Looks like its opened up some though.

Im thinking its because of post drydock excitement

 

I couldn't believe the price we are paying for our cruise in may.

THANKS. I CHECKED THE 4 DAY AND IT STARTS AT $909 PP FOR A BALCONY PLUS TAXES..CRAZY !

Got a really good deal on Feb 23rd but now it's gone up, up, up. Figure it must be the post-dry dock effect.

[Crusin' from Fl]

Wow, those prices are high!

I know ! I don't even check for price drops because it will never drop lower than we paid when we booked.:)

Texas spring break isn't until March 9th....so that isn't it.

[overthehillcruiser]

No, I agree,it can't be spring break. Those are usually high for just that week..Hard to figure other than they think folks will pay anything to experience post dry dock...

Feb 9th cruise the Nik L Beer band is having a group sailing

[overthehillcruiser]

So do they have the ship chartered ?

Those are pretty outrageous rates ordinarily, but I'd be willing to bet that it's right on the tail of the drydock. RCCL is probably trying to capitalize on the excitement of people wanting to be the first to experience the updates.

 

I'll be on her in May, and our cost is NOWHERE near those prices! :eek:

I don't see why rates would go up because of a group of 600, which is not nearly the whole ship ?

In many of the Northeast states, the weeks around President's Day are periods of elementary and high school vacations which is the more likely reason for the higher fares. Check out airfares from Boston to Florida or other warmer climes for those dates and you will likely find the same situation. In the long run, it all comes down to supply and demand which is the most likely answer to your question. If there wasn't an increase in demand, the prices would probably be lower.

Yes! I think I was experiencing temporary insanity when I booked it!

I waited for the last cruise in march and got it for $700 p/p for E2 balcony accessible.
