Biker19 Posted October 19, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 19, 2018 So, about $1400 pp for the week. That seems about right for the MSRP for a new ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What were the ballparks for younger demographic ships when they were new? Carnival Vista, RCCL Quantum of the Seas, etc? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted November 13, 2018 #4 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Don't know about Carnival, but for RCI, a new ship in season, $200/pppd in a balcony is about right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwcruisers Posted November 13, 2018 #5 Share Posted November 13, 2018 And, after the dining 'reveal', we know that they are not going to 'nickel & dime' us -- at least not where food is concerned! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems about right for the MSRP for a new ship. Yep, that's right in line with the Celebrity Edge interior staterooms, though Celebrity is not all inclusive with the food. The Edge for the Caribbean in late February is $1394/pp interior stateroom. So if that pricing is correct, it's actually a better deal than Celebrity and lower than I expected. Only a few more weeks till the actual pricing is revealed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare eileeshb Posted January 26, 2019 #8 Share Posted January 26, 2019 But it says one person in a double cabin, so does this mean there won’t be cabins specifically for solos, or pricing for solos.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The solo pricing seems to be in line with some other lines. At 6+ months after the debut, the pricing still seems a bit high at about $200 pppd - I'd expect it to drop to about $150 (even with the grats and internet included). Still can't figure out what is going on with the ship before the debut - she seems to be far along enough to sail this fall.

When I pulled up pricing today for a solo outside cabin, it gave me a choice. Either the dedicated smaller solo cabin which had a total price of $1050, or the larger double outside cabin for $1650. The larger double cabin was basically paying 200% or double the rate. The smaller solo cabin had a set lower price. The choice is yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted February 6, 2019 #12 Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) The issue for VV is not necessarily other cruise completion, but other vacation choices. At $500+ per day, the demographic VV is looking for, has a lot of options and may opt for things on land.

Once you get past the crazy high prices of the first few months, most terraces are in that price range ($2000-2500 for the 4-5 day sailings). Yes, you can get an inside cheaper, but the great majority of the ship cabins are terraces (and that's what most compare pricing against). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timf2001 Posted February 12, 2019 #17 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Virgin already raised the price of the other Sweet Aft Suites on my sailing by $50 and they haven't even opened for public sale yet. It appears they have implemented a dynamic pricing structure that automatically raises the price as inventory is depleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
