Rare mac_tlc Posted October 17, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) I always kill time by checking cruise prices. Stumbled across some great suite prices for the 1/21/2024 Ascent sailing. Sky Suite for about $5,150 for 2. Week before and after are a little over $8,000. Similar thing happened when I booked our 1/29/23 Beyond sailing. Prices didn’t last long and soon went up several $K. I can’t figure out any rhyme or reason, so I booked it 😜. mac_tlc Edited October 17, 2022 by mac_tlc 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted October 17, 2022 #2 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Congrats! $2291 (before fees and taxes) is a great price... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ijscheer Posted October 17, 2022 #3 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Just booked 1/21/2024 for a similar price. Really don't like ("hate" might be a better word) the itinerary, but maybe we just won't get off the ship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked at Royal Suite prices: 1/14/24 RS = $10,918 pp 1/21/24 RS = $ 5,757 pp 1/28/24 RS = $ 9,703 pp We don't do 7 night cruises, but the B2B price certainly goes up in a hurry, doesn't it?

We typically pay the same per diem for an SV in Europe (at Indulge type rates). See you soon........😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulh84 Posted October 18, 2022 #20 Share Posted October 18, 2022 That price is very attractive but that route is just awful. Maybe I will do a hold until tomorrow and rethink this one. All in on the S1 the travel agent is offering $1,250 OBC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Mrs_Tiki Posted October 18, 2022 #25 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Add the Tikis to the Roll Call! We scored an S1 at this amazing price, too. It will not bother me at all to treat this like a "cruise to nowhere" with all the suite perks plus almost $800 in OBC to burn. ($600 from X and $195 from our TA.) A million thanks to mac_tlc for alerting us all! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
