Categories/Class of Staterooms On Solstice

[dmk]

When I booked my cruise on Solstice, I thought the categories of balcony cabins went something like this:

 

Suites then

Aqua Class then

Concierge class then

FV class then

SV class then

regular balcony staterooms

which were priced by how far up the ladder they were.

I just looked at the March 15, 2009 sailing of the Solstice. The Aqua Class is $10 less than Concierge class. The Sunset Verandas are $50 more than the Concierge and $60 more than the Aqua Class.

Is this a mistake on the X site? Or could someone explain the categories on the Solstice because I am confused:confused:

Your order of rooms is correct, if you check the pricing of the April 11th sailing you will see Aq class is $1509, concierge is $1469 and 1409, SV is 1389, 1B is 1319, 2A is 1299 and 2B is $1279. My understanding is that....Prices change as inventory decreases i.e. there are only a couple of SV's left, so the price goes up thus making it more expensive than the concierge rooms. Hope that makes sense to you.

It's called supply and demand. Faster selling categories will have their rates go up faster, while slower selling categories will see prices drop

Could March 15 be a spring break week - therefore more families are booking which leaves a lot of Aqua Class rooms open (Aqua class is a room for 2 only and even if parents book Aqua class and kids in a different category room which would be nowhere near the AC, they wouldn't eat together as Aqua class dines in Blu and all other categories are assigned to the regular dining room).
