NeedsVitaminSea Posted February 24, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I wouldn't wait. We booked our May cruise in January and I've been watching prices go up pretty steadily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soremekun Posted February 24, 2023 #6 Share Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) I'm on the fence for booking Odyssey for December 2024 break. Kind of high but I know the price will only go up. Ugh. Edited February 24, 2023 by soremekun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted February 24, 2023 #7 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I would also book now and keep checking if price goes down you can get new price if not past due date . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loman Posted February 24, 2023 #13 Share Posted February 24, 2023 i booked a cruise last month and now its up 600.00 ( total for 2 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutigerlady Posted February 24, 2023 #14 Share Posted February 24, 2023 For May, I wouldn’t wait if you find a price you can live with. We booked a last minute trip for early February in early January and the prices never dropped and they pulled the cruise from being able to be booked at all. We didn’t have flexibility with the dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise*chic Posted February 24, 2023 Author #15 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Thanks for the insight. Maybe time for me to look at more land vacations too. BTW...I am a female located in the USA. However, maybe I should start looking at other countries with these prices. Maybe if a pay a few more thousand, I can have a new experience. Cruising use to be my go to for an inexpensive, relaxing and entertaining vacation. I guess they found us out!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
