Prices going crazy

[z4oslo]

My next trip is in September on Breakaway from Rome, 10 days.

When I booked last year the price for a solo cabin was around 2K in Euro.

 

If I were to book it today, the price is 3,7k .. BEFORE free at sea and service charges, so it would be in total over 4K. Thats getting insane for a solo cabin..

Glad I booked early!

It looks like a typical pricing history.

 

Some rooms go up.  Some down.  Some up then down.  Some down then up.

Hmmmmm...I just booked the cheapest Alaska cruise I've ever seen as a solo on the Bliss...with FAS included.

 

Date, itinerary, ship, when you book, etc all make a difference.

Drumroll ... is this worth triple points per night ?   LOL, and, booked inside final payment as a last-minute deal.  

 

Now, we expect to hear about your TA's bonus extras, dining and free DSC, etc.

well our 16 day cruise from Vancouver to Alaska and Hawaii, for 16 days went down in price, 1100 dollars to be exact, i actually find that NCL is having better prices, depends on the cruise of course

But you also had the coupon whereas everyone did not get one.

Henry....this one isn't as good as some of the others when it comes to perks.  Plus, my TA left and went to bigger/better things.  She sent a short email thanking me for my past business and then said "buh-bye!"

 

Dining perks are 5 SDPs.....2 for Sapphire, 2 for FAS, 1 from Amex (with wine).  No OBC from the TA, nor NCL.  But, AMEX is giving me $200.

 

Compared to what I've been able to drum up in the past, this is fairly puny!  LOL!

That is true!  

 

Still, a really good fare.'

 

I wouldn't have booked it without the coupon.

Me too. Early Alaska season are giveaways as are some of the longer runs through the canal and transatlantic. We have cruise next to burn and are seriously considering. Problem is....airfare. Talk about high prices. Ugh.

Alaska cruise on the Jewel in August, from Seward. $550 for OV, no solo supplement for inside/ov. 3 extra points (so 4 total). No coupon.
