ginger123snaps Posted March 1, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 1, 2016 4 days ago the price for our family harbour suite on the vista was $5300 and today its increased to over $6000.....I can't believe the price difference. Wish I would have booked...crossing my fingers that it goes back down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladygal4.4 Posted March 1, 2016 #2 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I doubt it will. The new boats seem to be more expensive for a long time. If you really want that boat, book now with the early saver rate and watch for price drops Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitamin_Sea Posted March 1, 2016 #3 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Just keep looking. Better yet pick a more affordable cabin. Gets you on the same ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizinisthebest Posted March 1, 2016 #4 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Just keep looking. Better yet pick a more affordable cabin. Gets you on the same ship That's what we did. We got two for way less than that one. I wanted to try it but for a 6-day cruise it was $5K. I don't care if it is the Vista. Not happenin' :p Doubt the price will go down. There's only a handful of those suites and they look really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruizinisthebest Posted March 1, 2016 #8 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Never had a suite and never will :) We did once and that was a free upgrade many years ago! I considered it, because it looks like such a neat area for the kids but umm, no. We booked a balcony across from a 4J for the kids and will be just fine. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger123snaps Posted March 1, 2016 Author #9 Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) We do the haven suites on NCL and honestly for the what you get for the price....carnival is not offering much considering the price. I would pay around $5000 for the cabin...but I feel like $6000 is just way too much for what they are offering. My travel agent says that during wave season..Jan, Feb, Mar they run sales all the time...so I'm crossing my fingers that the price goes down at least once this month....in the meantime I will check everyday.

HamSammie Posted March 2, 2016 #11 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Same supply with increased demand = increase in price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Geegitz Posted March 2, 2016 #12 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Vista prices are crazy. The new ships on other lines are much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish12345 Posted March 2, 2016 #13 Share Posted March 2, 2016 You should just book Early Saver on the Vista. Then WATCH the sales. we have $2100 in credits which was taken off the room price for our Sep 13 cruise. Book Early and watch for those drops.

Stateroom_Sailor Posted March 2, 2016 #14 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) Same supply with increased demand = increase in price. I agree. Our Journey cruise jumped from $1,200 pp for a veranda, to $2,000 6 months later. Of course adding a partial Panama canal transit affected demand too.

lizardhowson Posted March 2, 2016 #16 Share Posted March 2, 2016 oh man....you all are crushing my hopes of another sale. Yep, book early. Read many a thread here about people waiting for the prices to go back down. Most of them never did book a cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger123snaps Posted March 2, 2016 Author #17 Share Posted March 2, 2016 We actually did book early. I booked vista a couple of months ago...but do to scheduling reasons...I have to change the date we travel. So now...instead of sailing on our original date of Jan 28th we need the march 11th sailing. We live in galveston and sail from here all the time....I refuse to fly to miami to sail western carribean (its pretty much the only ports you can go to from galveston). If i'm paying for flights we are sailing to eastern. Plus I want a new ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kverlinger Posted March 2, 2016 #18 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I just got a refund of $140 for our upcoming July cruise on the Dream. Price keeps going down for us. It is actually cheaper to get a cove balcony room then it is a oceanview right now. Crazy! Maybe its just price hikes for the Vista because everyone (almost everyone) wants to book her.

crusinpsychRN Posted March 2, 2016 #20 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Price on 5 day Paradise is way too high, over $175 a day and she is in need of refurbishment. I can get a mini suite (which is the same size cabin as a balcony cabin on Carnival) for $1000 for a 7 day trip on NCL out of same port, $142/day.

grandmarnnurse Posted March 2, 2016 #21 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Never had a suite and never will :) Same here! We used to book balcony cabins but realized how little time we spent in our cabins, so we only book inside cabins now. A huge savings! More money available to cruise more often!! That seems like a better plan to me! Spend 5k on a cabin?? I cannot fathom that waste of money! But to each their own. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vwrestler171 Posted March 3, 2016 #24 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I booked Vista for Jan 2017 and the cost has gone up $1k for 4 of us in a Cove balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figdu Posted March 3, 2016 #25 Share Posted March 3, 2016 We booked Vista for this June using the Platinum offer last year. The price for that cruise is now $400 less than where we started including offsetting the original OBC. Received a call from the upsell fairy today to move to a balcony on 8 from an inside on 9. The change in cost is still less than the original inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
