Breakaway: super cheap to Bermuda

[HowardK]

I was on the 9/14 last year (had booked it I think around 21 months in advance in 1/12 right after my 2011 December Epic trip)

Because the ship was new at the time I paid $999 for a Studio.

A week before the Balcony dropped to $1,099 so I upgraded.

 

By some strange luck this winter (2/13 when there was around 15 inches of snow here) I went on and found several fall studios for $525-$545 (I picked 10/18 over September and over the getaway)

 

I wonder if it was a glitch because I mentioned it on the forums and the deals were gone within an hour!

 

I might try an upgrade again but it seems with kids sail free that demand is higher this year in October as of so far.

Can you offer a clue to finding the certain website is that gives capacity sold info.

Good to know! I am a planner so I always book early and never look at the prices after final payment! I think 2 years ago,we paid only $350 per person (before taxes) for an inside. Last years just slightly more.

 

Yes, $579 is the price without taxes..so probably $725 pp with taxes.

 

My niece lives in Syracuse and we always want to plan some time with her before our cruises. How do you get to the East Coast ports from there? We have investigated to NYC using Trailways, but how about when you sail from Bayonne?

 

Thanks for the info!

You can take Amtrak. Trains run about 4 times a day, with prices ranging anywhere from $60 to $145 if you want to splurge on a roomette for a 6 hour ride. Though that roomette does come with a meal in the dining car! Once you get to Penn Station you could theoretically grab a PATH train into Jersey and then grab a taxi the rest of the way, but that trip to Bayonne is really kind of a pain. No sweat into NYC though! :)

Extra info

[monkeybone]

For my upcoming Breakaway cruise, I paid $1750 pp including taxes and port charges for a Haven Spa Suite. When I went fishing to check out cabin prices on different weeks, I did not find any week lower than this.

 

I'm happy because I saved a ton of money. The Queen is happy because she's in the Haven AND she has access to the spa.

 

If the Queen is happy, then there's a chance some happiness might come my way too!

Very happy for you Wasiii, your DW will feel like a queen for the week! I am sure she will treat you like a king!!

I can only dream of the Haven (at least until we get done paying for DD and DS's college tuition!) Have you stayed there before? What if you get some obnoxious people up there with you? Can you get away from them?

 

Have a wonderful cruise!

1. Haven Check

2. Le Bistro Mushroom soup Will be a Check (for a while click me)

3. Spa Check

howardK, great price on a studio! I think you were in the right place at the right time! I always hope that happens to Me! There have been a lot of those pricing errors on RCI lately. One was Christmas week on Freedom for only $300ish!

 

Bobg529: that does sound like a pain in the butt to get to Bayonne from Syracuse, especially from this MI girl who does not routinely take any type of public transportation! Maybe we will visit her just on our NYC sailings! I will file the info for future use. Thanks!

 

Wasiii, you are still newlyweds? Your signature says Two year anniversary of your marriage or of being on the Breakaway in Bermuda? Congratulations!
