Does too low of a price have you worried?

I looked at these sales, and to be honest the only ones that were $35 a day were 3-4 days cruises in an inside and to the Mexican Rivera. And out of those, I think there was really only 3-4 of them in the next 4 months the fares were "available" to book through.

 

Alas it is just another marketing technique that companies use. By offering just 1 fare at that price, they can say "Starting at $35 a day!". I didn't see a single inside for less than about $45 a day, which since this was one of the cheaper cruise lines, isn't really that big of a thing for an inside.

 

This same line has an 8 day in off season (when the sail dates were) for about $75pp. The sale had this same cruise at about $65pp. so the prices weren't weren't that different.

Of course it's not the best itinerary or the best ship and selection is limited. Still $35 per day is dirt cheap. Makes you wonder if you get what you pay for or is this a steal of a deal.:D
