Konsingsdam $399?

Just started looking for a cruise back on HAL early next year. Surprised to see an inside for this low in February on a new ship. Not big on the lack of a promenade deck, but a low price can make me overlook things.....

Sorry, I meant Koningsdam in subject and not Konsingsdam.

You Floridians are sooo lucky that you can book last minute. That is an amazing price, and we have heard great things about Koningsdam (however it is spelt :D) particularly the specialty restaurants. We are looking forward to cruising on her - regardless of price!

There’s been prices like that on all the cruises since she came across the pond. I can’t say that I’ve ever seen such low prices, this consistently, on a new ship. It’s a little concerning to me that HAL is having such trouble filling their ships.

That's really a great price.

Hope you go for it.

I looked at this sailing. It is the week of Feb 18, which is Presidents holiday in the U.S.

The airfare from PHL to FLL is almost equal to the base price of the cruise.

I wish I lived in Florida [emoji41]

I'm looking at this cruise as well. I find it annoying that the Koningsdam will share Half Moon Cay with the Eurodam that week. I've never been to Half Moon Cay, though, so maybe that's not a big deal?

We have shared Half Moon Cay with a big ship. It was busy, but loungers for everyone. The BBQ worked well too and bar service was good. We got off the ship early and booked our Clamshell as soon as it was possible.

There is lots of space at HMC. That is a good price. We're in the same boat as the others in that the cost of the flight for us is not worth taking one of those short one week cruises.. Enjoy.

We paid $596 each for the February 18 sailing with service charge included. This is for an inside gty cabin. Btw it's a 7 day cruise. Excellent price.

I'm seriously tempted to book. I'm glad to hear that 2 ships at Half Moon don't make for a lesser experience.

When a deal seems too good to be true........................

What are you inferring?

Is the BBQ included or do you have to pay extra?

From reading other threads, this poster is in possession of an axe and is frantically looking for a grindstone.;p

Don't know what CHPURSER is warning about, but I would worry that the food and entertainment budget would be slashed, unless they can force you to sit through a time share pitch before you can board. February 18 seems like an odd time to have bargain basement cruise prices.

I think all the cruise lines are experiencing lower than average bookings because of the hurricanes. I would be excited for your excellent deal and enjoy the gracious service of HAL.

There's always great deals to be had within the final cancellation window, on any cruise line. It doesn't mean anything ominous.

IMHO you win the internet today (y)

This price is not out of line. It is what you pay for a mid summer Alaska cruise on Zaandam etc. if you book a week or two prior to sailing. A few years ago it was as low as $299.

Buy it now before it sells out and have a wonderful cruise. Good for you.

It is all about supply and demand.

Actually looking at a higher priced cruise on Rotterdam now. I have been on many older ships in the past. No issues with that. Personally, a real promenade deck on the Rotterdam is worth a premium over a newer ship without restricted outdoor views.

Our choice is always a balcony/verandah. More difficult to get and we typically buy in the 60-45 day window. Though a few times it has been anywhere within 21-3 days of blast off. All depends on supply and demand and which ship/cruise line blinks first and posts our target price.

We have found that anytime between US Thanksgiving and Christmas is a great time to snag a last minute cruise or AI in the Caribbean, Mexico, or Cuba.

Very true - great deals to be found all of the time and not just on inside cabins.
