Cruising is WAY too expensive!

[pepsicruiser]

Sunshine lighten up and get out of those tight shorts.

 

Rose, I hope you enjoyed the Radiance. We're going on it next week and sooooo looking forward to it.

[cruisePRN]

with my diamond discount of $200 off a balcony or higher catogory I still can't afford it.

[madforcruising]

The Grandeur does not have a c/lounge so for that price they will build the person a lounge and have it all to themselves. Ozzie63 :D

 

Nope, the cabin will be the CL:p :p

 

The price for JS and D1 is the same now, oh what type of cabin shoould I get then:confused:

Check out the price for a balcony cabin for a 9 night cruise...:eek:

My solution to this problem is to book about a month or so before sailing date. Especially in the off season. Those prices will be much lower at that time compared to now.

[cruisePRN]

Access to the lounge??????????? You should get the concierge for that price. ;)

 

Only if it's a "HE" and he's cute

I doubt you´ll be lucky on this particular one. I bet thóse room will be gone in a heartbeat at a price of $200,356:D :D

If I'm paying that price I would at least expect an upgrade and possibly a Captain's table invite. :D

Upgrade to what:confused: , there´s no more expensive room on the ship,

 

bigger like the RS -- Yes, but the RS is only less than lousy $10,000:rolleyes: :eek:

 

Who would sleep in a cabin that is $190,000 less in price than what one paid:p even if it´s that much bigger.:rolleyes:

[wraithe]

Wow, I'm feeling pretty good about my aft JS now. What a bargain I got with balconies going for 113K (ya know, after port fees and insurance, it'd be at least 113K). You've made my day Robyn.

Hi Pepsi:

Yes, DH and I had a nice time. Our 14 y/o son enjoyed it "okay" but loves the Mariner best!

 

Captain Richard Brearley and Hotel Director Roger Jackson really cut up ALOT! They are so funny! They obviously love what they do and seem to always do it with a laugh! Kieron Buffery the Cruise Director does a fantastic job as well.

 

We found the Activities Crew to be extra special aboard this ship, they were very hard-working and easy to get to know. Look for Mica (Michael) from Australia and fresh off working aboard the Freedom Flo-Rider! He is so outgoing and enthusiastic! Dan from the U.K. was formerly a dancer before an injury crushed that career. He's a bit more reserved but easy going & friendly too. We try to participate in the Morning & Afternoon Stretch / Walks to earn our ShipShape dollars. I sit here with my ShipShape Tshirt on! If you see Mica or Dan, tell them Rose & Russ say "hi". We sailed Dec. 17th.

 

I know you'll love it.....wish I were going back!

 

Happy New Year!

Rose

[will work to cruise]

:D I called RCI and they said that everyone in the room gets to pilot the ship for a few hours.

[Tex_Jen]

Cool! If I can get that loan, sign me up!:)

 

Good thread, Robyn! I always need a laugh.

Now for that price they better give additional C&A credits!!! :p

 

For that price there better be some T&A. :p

[decidida]

do you think they would allow more than 4 people in the room, I would like to invite with 100 of my closest friends, to help with costs ya know!

[shoreless]

If someone were to accidentally book this I wonder if something in the system would catch it, or if it would really charge this much. I'm not curious enough to try it though.:D

[SharkCruiser24]

:p I think I will save money by getting the Royal Suite

[above sea level cruiser]

Where do you get $200,356.00 from? The price is only $112,229.00!!! Herein lies the problems with these boards - people exaggerate and the next thing you know the people that come to these boards looking for information choose not to cruise. IMHO:D :rolleyes: :D

[Hypo]

In the fine print RCCL says that you can bring on all of the wine, beer, and liquor that you want. There will be no corkage fees, and a personal bartender will be provided 24/7 to mix your favorite drinks. (Gratuities not included, an automatic 15% gratuity will be added based on the booking price for this cabin):eek:

Too funny, thanks for that.

 

 

Looks like someone may need to change thier name to Debbie Downer - Whauu- waaaaaaaaaaaa. :rolleyes:

[pmshirl]

Just wondering Who has the limit on their credit card for the deposit for this Balcony, especially if its for a triple or quad cabin.

[canucks4]

CKROBYN - must include flight to Baltimore from Air Canada and parking in the Toronto airport !! :D

Everyone, calm down just remember this is the "in state" rate for Maryland. You all know that the Grandeur sails from Baltimore "full" and that residents are the first to be bumped. Well for this price RCL guarantees "no bumping"

Ha! Ha! Happy New Year.

[Ottawa_cruise_man]

You know its a mistake, don't make a mountain out of a molehill.

Oh, you must be a real treat at parties!

Ha! Ha! Happy New Year.

But doesn't the Grandeur only sail full because RCI has a cabin sale three days before the cruise where all the "locals" buy up all the emplty cabins at a bargain rate and then take over the ship? I hear there are people from Baltimaore all over the ship using the elevators, making people have to wait in lines at the buffet, and behaving in a very lively manner in the lounges at night. Oh yeah, they even take up deck chairs by the pool!:eek: :D :D
