jlawrence01 Posted October 16 #204 Share Posted October 16 I am not sure that I am finished booking in 2024 and 2025 at this point. Besides, we do better booking 90-120 days out after the final payment is due for most cruisers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lena11033 Posted October 17 #208 Share Posted October 17 Depends, for me they are not cheaper but I'm a solo cruiser who doesn't book retreat. Currently most aren't showing prices, one that is the price is listed as $8,500 per person so times that by 2. So will see what Celebrity has to offer, sure I'd love to try Oceania but that price is too much for just me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordylad Posted October 17 Author #210 Share Posted October 17 (edited) Had a look at Oceania and don't think we could justify the high cost [even though some perks included].......Did notice a cracking sailing from Rio to Miami. Think I would rather cruise a couple of times rather than one hit on a Oceania cruise Edited October 17 by gordylad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NMTraveller Posted October 17 #211 Share Posted October 17 (edited) I am seeing Oceania cruises for around $4k for Med veranda. My Apex SV cruise was $4500 add in grats, specialty, room service, and wifi to Apex. I am looking at 2026. YMMV. I did see some higher priced cruises... The same for Yacht Club. I booked a Yacht Club cruise for 4K for less than Apex. Trying to find ports that I have not been to is getting to be more difficult...

zitsky Posted October 17 #214 Share Posted October 17 Does anyone have a suggestion to figure out past cruise prices while we wait for schedules to be published? (Japan, May 2026)? I do the obvious, look at 2025 schedule to guess 2026. But so much is already sold out in 2025 so there are no prices for some cabins. I’m considering booking Princess this week because of their small refundable deposit policy. But I wasn’t planning to book Celebrity until January. I wish there was a way to guess what prices will be in a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lena11033 Posted October 17 #215 Share Posted October 17 I think with a lot being sold already its hard to compare 2025, I just ran a check with similar nights as my last European one so 11 nights 2025 vs 10 nights. Right now its $1,000 (Canadian) more and my last one I had all inclusive added with tips at the time where as next year's one only had tips added. I am hoping when they release them next month it will be a bit cheaper as they are just out vs less than a year out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just did this a week or two ago 😁 With Celebrity it is likely a NRD unless you pay more... Edited October 18 by NMTraveller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celebrity is good for dedicated restaurants for Aqua or Retreat. And very limited smoking and vaping. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Celebrity Apex cruise booked and a Yacht Club cruise booked. My SV on Celebrity is more expensive than the YC and this is a B2B. I wish that SS on Apex was similar in price to YC... But if you are looking for Japan, then Millie is likely the better deal. Edited October 18 by NMTraveller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordylad Posted October 18 Author #225 Share Posted October 18 Got to be honest although we will most likely book Celebrity [again] having trawled through the upcoming releases its as you were....same old.... https://creative.rccl.com/Sales/Celebrity/Deployment/CEL_2026_27_New_Deployment-Preview-Flyer.pdf#page=3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
