ONECRUISER Posted August 31 #353 Share Posted August 31 Just now, Another_Critic said: TAs aren't the bargain they used to be. They are very popular now. Last couple I checked weren't bad, though were with C&A Discounts, less then $100 day for me Solo in Balcony. Like with most Cruises prices start going up after release but on TA'a not like some the others that double within couple months and still over yr from Sailing. It would be interesting see amt profit made/lost on all the Sea Days compared to equal Sea/Port or all Port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you filter cruiseplum for lowest cost per day, the list starts with nothing but TAs. The Odyssey TA in Nov is an outlier, like the summer ones via Iceland.

Will they still go to Singapore for a dry dock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is the bargain it used to be. Relative to some cruise home ports though, many TA's still look pretty attractive on a price per night basis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefly333 Posted September 6 #367 Share Posted September 6 Galveston is absolutely convinced icon moves there in 2026. There are bloggers out with all the reasons and many threads, even a guy saying he wants to put together the first cruise group when icon arrives. The garage at the terminal added icon to the selections where you pick which ship you are on as a for instance that people behind the scenes have been told icon is coming. Many bloggers up, I'm ignoring. They can have icon when I guess its legend coming to florida. Too expensive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

springaussie Posted September 6 #369 Share Posted September 6 At the moment Royal doesn’t do dry docks during the Northern Hemisphere Summer. So will the new Freeport Drydock facility be year round? I assume Celebrity snd other Royal companies ships etc are using it also. Anyone got any thoughts on this subject? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prices for the Allure WB TA next year were waaaaay higher than what we paid for our Wonder TA in 2022. I'm almost paying more for a Jr. Suite than what we paid for our Owners Suite on Wonder. I was shocked how much more expensive the prices were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely something to book early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager TA leaving this fall: Interesting. Odyssey 4/2025 started out $1600 for 5D refundable and is now almost double. $500 higher even for nonrefundable. Similar trends for Independence and Explorer next spring. The fall return trip on Odyssey is starting to climb as well, by about $600 so far. Guess it depends on the ship 🤷🏻♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
