mike215 Posted October 10, 2012 #1858 Share Posted October 10, 2012 That's for solo, of course. I did mention the $600 rate is military. Check "An Active duty or retired U.S. Military or Canadian Forces" and it will come up. Current rate solo inside is 923 - 2703 / non-military.

Yes, Mike215, I realized the rate you quoted was for military. I wanted to see what kind of rate a 55+ would get. I just went back to the site and I got the same starting rate you got, $923. for a guarantee cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

croozer Posted October 14, 2012 #1861 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I just booked a solo cabin on the Oct. 28 Panama Canal sailing of the Coral Princess. Don't know if the rate I got is because of residency, past passenger, last minute, whatever, but I booked a category HH Outside Obstructed (but ended up with a Category EE unobstructed.) Price for solo occupancy for 14 days was $873, although port charges for the canal run high at $296.60. Still, a good deal for 14 days outside for $1169.60.

I can't do October, but thanks for giving me hope that better prices are available. Enjoy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet2B Posted October 27, 2012 #1866 Share Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) May not be stellar by CC standards, but I booked a 7 day solo holiday cruise (NYE) leaving from my home state (so no plane fare or overnight hotel stay) for $917+tax/fees. For me, it will be a great escape and I've always wanted to get away to somewhere warm for the holidays that wasn't super expensive.

SemperPup Posted October 28, 2012 #1869 Share Posted October 28, 2012 thanks scrappyt, that is a great deal. good ports/itinerary and not too many sea days in a row + a balcony? good timing too. right after thanksgiving and before winter break, probably = fewer kids, frat-types. if i'd been on a cruise before, i would be all over this one. but coordinating air travel, dog, et al. i think it would be a little too much for my first cruise. a question: why choice air? i checked it out and it's cool the way the user enters a cruise and the booking engine already knows dates/cities, etc ... but the fares (although they're still low) are higher than another site i've been using called sky-scanner (suggested by another cc person). anyhow, are there advantages to choice air, in addition to their user-friendly site (i.e. guaranteed connections, etc)? also, i looked up the cruise and it says an oceanview cabin costs more than a balcony. what's up with that? just curious. thanks! s/f vr/SemperPup SoCalGringo@gmail.com. over...

I found choice air gave me a very good price for a one way, much better than I was finding on other sites. I was surprised actually. I've never looked at the site you mentioned. I like the fact that you can enter the cruise you're thinking of booking, see the flight options and when you're ready, you chose the one you want. I'm also going on an NCL cruise in March and booking air with them is a crap shoot - you take what they give you. Um, no thanks. :eek: also, i looked up the cruise and it says an oceanview cabin costs more than a balcony. what's up with that? just curious. thanks! No idea! :D It's a mystery, just seems to depend on how many cabins are still available in that category. All I know is that if I do another transatlantic in the future, I'll wait until just after final payment to book it because the prices really dropped. This however may be a tad too late, not sure what kind of flight you could get at this late date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperPup Posted October 28, 2012 #1871 Share Posted October 28, 2012 hey julie ... chandler here. yeah, from what i've seen during 'test bookings' the cruiselines airfare seems pricey. maybe it's because of the guaranteed connection component--but doesn't cruise 'insurance' cover that too? since you paid more (sorry 'bout that), celebrity will upgrade you to a better class balcony and/or give you an onboard credit for the difference in what you paid and what people are paying now. if you call the cruiseline (or your travel agent) and point out the disparity, they might 'hook you up'. don't ask, don't get ... right? either way, it looks like a good time. i'd be there with you if i weren't still trying to figure the logistics of civilian travel (with a dog). this year, with hope, a r/t cruise from l.a. to mexico or hawaii ... next year, they world! lol or maybe just a bigger chunk of it than mexico/hawaii. at any rate ... here's hoping you have a great t/a cruise! s/f vr/chandler. over...
