Grandeur Balconies Pricing??

[jdarch]

Just looking into RCCL for our Bermuda cruise next year.

Grandeur out of Baltimore is showing over $5.4K for a balcony in June. :eek:

I know its 10 months out, but does that seem right??? I remember RC's prices being a tic above the others, but I don't recall GoS being THAT much. RCCL vets?

That's way high. Not sure what's going on except maybe it's just the usual IT issues. Our JS this past March to the Caribbean was nowhere near that much. That sounds close to double what it should be for a balcony,

Pricing is all out of whack since Royal's big promo ended on July 15. No one knows if prices will come down, or they are about to have another promo. All I know is that I'm not booking any Royal cruises at these prices.

THe other thing to consider besides IT problems, is that Grandeur doesn't have nearly the number of balconies that the newer builds have, even on a percentage basis. If that particular sailing is in high demand.....

That's way out of line with where it should be. Its either an IT glitch or an IT glitch. :eek: Even if they had already booked most balconies for that cruise the price would still not be anywhere near that.

Not sure what your pricing rules and regulations are in the US but up here in Canada when you put something on sale you must actually have it listed for sale at the regular (higher prices) for a certain number of days or be able to show that you sold x% of your stock at the higher prices.

 

I'm wondering if RCI is having to keep their prices higher for a while due to the BOGOHO sale as this was advertised as a % off sale unlike most of their sales that just involved OBC and reduced deposits.

 

Absolutely agree that there is no way I'd be booking anything at the current prices.

I'm not 100% sure, but I suspect we don't have those regulations on sale prices in the US. I see the grocery stores do what I consider deceptive sale pricing all the time. Maybe it's a state to state thing here.

Maybe that balcony is attached to a "Suite". ;)

I'm here to tell you it may not be that out of whack.

We just sailed her last week.

3 of us, oceanview window on deck 3, $4200.

They charge a lot more for Baltimore cruises. They always fill up and you have 25 million people within driving distance.

And what's the NYC area, chopped livah?? ;)

Paid 2600.00 for JS over 4th of July.

I was on Grandeur last week and was going to rebook onboard. Quote was $4750 for 2 for balcony.

[SandyBShores]

That was price for next July.

Glad we booked Grandeur awhile back since we got an inside cabin for 10 days for $546pp next April.

10 night Nov 1st balconies have sold out @ $4,462 plus tax so that price is not coming down.

 

My pricing website doesn't have all history, but the lowest price I can see is $2,898 plus tax in effect from Oct 20th to Jan 28th.
