LaurieHoffman Posted January 22, 2022 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Newer to Celebrity. Cruised once many years ago on Celebrity but mostly do Princess or Carnival as they sail from Los Angeles most often. Pricing a 7 night on Millennium in November 2022. Should a Concierge Class balcony be less than a regular balcony? This seems strange to me.. I am trying to understand the different price levels and it seems concierge gives you much more than a regular balcony but the pricing now is less Is this correct?

In my experience Concierge Class is usually more expensive than a regular veranda. Depending on the sailing and availability it could be the other way around however, not likely.

Grab it quick and don't think twice about it. On M Class ships like the Millennium they are larger than a regular veranda. As RBKL stated, they are usually more expensive but from what I've seen pricing is tied to availability in each specific category so price inversions do happen. Those price inversions usually don't last long. Take a look at this link for information on the cabins. With the Millie being one of the oldest ships in Celebrity's fleet it's more than likely you'll find details on the cabin. If you're truly interested in the itinerary, I would book it. You can always change cabins later without any penalty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiccups Posted January 22, 2022 #4 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I personally don't think the "extras" in concierge are worth anything, except for getting more CC points. So if the price is lower than a regular veranda, I'd go with concierge simply for price and points. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaurieHoffman Posted January 22, 2022 Author #5 Share Posted January 22, 2022 thank you... that is what I thought too. It definitely is less for the cruise I am looking at now.. That is what I was so confused by.... not much less but less non the less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted January 22, 2022 #6 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Conceigre cabins on M class are about 20 sq feet larger which doesn’t sound like much but it more comfortable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Cruiser 6143 Posted January 22, 2022 #7 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Definitely grab it. Generally, they are more expensive. Worth it for the larger cabin and extra points if you're chasing points in the Captain's Club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaFej Posted January 22, 2022 #8 Share Posted January 22, 2022 As I say to my TA friend when I find one of these situations, Algorithms be trippin'. We currently have an Aqua cabin booked that was less than the veranda price the day we got it. On a British Isles cruise in 2018, we were going to put the "kids" in an inside cabin across from us, but it was cheaper to put them in a veranda next to us. In my uneducated opinion (guess), stuff like this happens when a big TA books or blocks an unusually large number of cabins in a certain category, changing how the algorithms perceive demand. Or, maybe, algorithms just be trippin'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moby Jones Posted January 22, 2022 #9 Share Posted January 22, 2022 This does happen occasionally. As has already been said, you'll get a larger cabin on M class shipsm more CC points and a cheaper fare. You'll also find some concierge cabins have arguably better locations on the ship than regular verandahs. I'd book without hesitation in this instance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happened to me twice and I've jumped at the occasion, not for the extra points, but for the better location. The central location for me is very important. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be true on the S-class ships, but as noted in comments above, on the M-class ships like the Millie, the concierge cabins are larger than regular verandas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
