Sea and Me Posted March 16, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I have been checking prices for Oct.28th sailing on the Caribbean Princess for sometime now. Today I noticed that both oceanview and obstructed oceanview are the same price!! The ocean views are on Deck 5, the obstructed on Deck 8. I always thought the obstructed cabins were a little “cheaper” in price, isn’t that the way it is suppose to be?? Thoughts anyone;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moki'smommy Posted March 16, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I've been tracking pricing on the Caribbean Princess for a few months and they are totally nuts. I've seen times when, for weeks, the price of an oceanview was higher than a balcony. I've seen it say "from $799" and not seen that price anywhere when it got down to selecting a cabin. And I've gone thru the entire selection process, after seeing prices three times, only to be a type was sold out (like all oceanviews.) I don't know where their heads are, but there is NO consistency on their web site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzsnooze Posted March 16, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 16, 2018 It's called supply and demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john watson Posted March 16, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I think the situation where "better cabins" are cheaper comes from the cruise line liking to offer the full range of cabins to passengers. Demand and supply pushes the prices up and down. Where a "rare" cabin type is offered often their price is very sensitive to demand, irrespective of how good or comparitively bad they are.

fishywood Posted March 16, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 16, 2018 There are Alaska cruises where both obstructed and unobstructed OV cabins are less than the least expensive inside available. Guessing due to so many bookings of inside guarantees during the January/February Anniversary Sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
