Redrobo Posted February 14, 2017 #8 Share Posted February 14, 2017 yes but 1500 uk pounds ? About £1200 will be the included drinks package, check when they take off the drinks package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swoopy2110 Posted February 14, 2017 #9 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Where are you sailing from ? Could you sail somewhere else that would be cheaper ? Alternatively, don't sail in a JS :) That will lower the cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinyork Posted February 14, 2017 #15 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Yes overall Royal's prices have risen ex UK but we booked Indy in September in a D3 balcony for about the same as Anthem 2 years back circa £1550 pp for a 13 night balcony. The pricing seems very fluid and you need to keep monitoring to get a good price. The first day when a new promotion starts seems to throw up some great prices.

Rare Deeliteful Posted February 14, 2017 #16 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Definitely depends on the itinerary, ship, duration and time of year! I sail next month to the Arabian Gulf and the price was a steal include no flights with Emirates.However, I have just cancelled a May cruise to the Norwegian Fjords with RCL and booked a similar trip with P&O and saved £1400 and no air fare as it sails out of UK. (Solo cruiser), a no brainer IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatour Posted February 18, 2017 #25 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Several years ago we did cruise out of Europe, and the exchange rate 1.60 US D = 1 Euro. Now that the exchange rate is "on par" that could explain some of the price "inflation" Also, private business is not a charity, they want to maximize their revenues and thusly profits. If not enough people book at the going rates then they will just their prices accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
