Celebrity has released more Caribbean cruises 2022 and 2023.  Any Thoughts?

Yes.   I do not particularly want to sail in the Caribbean.

I'll take the Caribbean in February instead of the Midwest.  I'm not sure that PA is much better than the Midwest

[PTC DAWG]

Seeing as how I can easily drive to the Florida ports from the ATL area, I dig it.

Based on the pricing I’m guessing Celebrity is expecting high demand. 

[bikerunner]

Yep super high pricing but do like one that ill keep an eye on Like the overnight in Cartagena

A little bit of a mix up from years past...

 

*Apex and Reflection take the 7 night cruises, alternating east/west.

*Reflection is priced only marginally less than Apex which is a bit odd to me.

*Edge is back to the 10/11 night cruises as originally planned for 2022.

*9 night ABC cruises are Saturday-Monday and Thursday-Saturday instead of the usual Friday-Sunday.

*I haven't counted, but it seems like an increase with a lot of 10 night cruises on Edge/Equinox/Silhouette.

All I can say is I'm glad we booked our holiday cruise on Equinox 2 weeks ago.

I just booked a 9 day ABC cruise in Sept of 22...price seemed comparable to me on what I've seen in the past, especially considering room grats and basic drink package is included...nice hump cabin on deck 8.  In fact, it was less per day than the 10 day we sailed on in 2019.  But I will admit, price isn't usually the first thing I look at.  This happens to sail over our Wedding Anniversary...that carried the day.  YMMV.

This offers a bit more optimism that Constellation is to updated and sailing out of Tampa as planned, rather than sold off.

Booked for Thanksgiving 2021 on Apex. The pricing dropped a bit recently. And I compared the price of this cruise to my 2019 Edge cruise and it is less, so not sure about the ‘big price increases’. I’m sure there are examples around, but the pricing I’m getting is in line with previous cruises and something I’m willing to pay, which is the point. Even if it may or may not be higher than ‘before’. Since I can’t book a cruise in 2019, I’ll concentrate on existing pricing for 2021/22 that I can actually take. 

 

I joke that since I live on the Fla Panhandle coastal area, we have better beaches, better restaurants than any Caribbean port, and I can buy Chinese stuff here as well as there.....but do enjoy cruising the Caribbean because of the ship, not necessarily the ports. But do sign up for maybe cooking classes in the ports and wander a bit. 

 

And when posters see I live in Fla, they think ‘boy, you can just zip over for a cruise!’.The Fla is one big state especially with the panhandle hanging way west - heck, it’s in Central TimeZone!  It’s a good 10-11 hr drive and few directs from my smaller town so its up to Atlanta and then down to FLL 

 

It’s a tough life isn’t it!!

I see Infinity has various sailings into 2023 so I hope that is a good sign too!

We booked the Apex 2022 TA to make it a b2b with the Israel cruise.

[mac_tlc]

Looks like 7 days on Apex = 9 days on Equinox, at least for Suites.

Have been waiting for this :). Just booked a suite for 2022 on Equinox because I had a large FCC to use up. I did this yesterday and lots of availability.

I love the panhandle, frequent the panhandle and it’s beaches...the panhandle has nothing that rivals Trunk Bay and the like...IMHO...

 

For sure, some don’t realize how far you are away from MIA etc...no real good way to make that drive...no good roads through the armpit of Florida.  :)

Come join the roll call for the Apex TA for 2022. 😊

Thanks for the heads up! We moved our Sept 2021 cruise to April 2023. Paying more for the new Concierge class room vs. our original Aqua Class room, and we did lose our OBC since that is no longer included in the perks ... but oh well. We'll just be happy to get back to cruising and also experience a new ship for us, Reflection. I'll also be going to two new ports in the Caribbean which I haven't sailed to before. Looking on the bright side! It is what it is. Be safe and well, everyone.

I agree, just happy to see more light at the end of the tunnel

[phabric]

I switched March 2022 to Feb 2023.

[Suncoastsailors]

Hopefully this means Royal Caribbean will be doing the same soon.

Waiting for Princess end of 2022 Caribbean

Interesting itin from TPA...wonder if Connie will be updated by then??

[cantstopingcruising]

OMG

 

I just priced b2b infinity balcony on the Edge, 21 nights Feb/23 and it came to $17,450 Canadian.

 

Do you realize what kind of a fantastic trip we could take with that amount of money??

 

Certainly better than the same old, same old.
