frogsgirl Posted March 9, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Just been offered what I think is a good price for 2B unobstructed balcony (not sure of deck yet), free parking & $200 OBC - £1725, should I snap their hands off? Scandanavia & Russia - 14 nights June 2012. Thanks:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo70 Posted March 9, 2011 #2 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Sounds like a spot of hand snapping may be in order. :D That cruise is on my 2013 "to do" list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMLAalum Posted March 9, 2011 #4 Share Posted March 9, 2011 For what it's worth we paid 5900 US all in for our Eclipse cruise this past summer in a 2B (7132). Plus we received a $200 OBC from our TA. Not sure how this translates into GBP but it's a basis for comparison considering your cruise is 2 years later than ours and prices do tend to increase.

Slark Posted March 10, 2011 #8 Share Posted March 10, 2011 5900 U.S. dollars = 3 641.30099 British pounds $5,900 must have been for two, but even so, sounds like OP has a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMLAalum Posted March 10, 2011 #9 Share Posted March 10, 2011 $5,900 must have been for two, but even so, sounds like OP has a good deal. Yes, for 2. If frogsgirl's 1725 GBP is for 2, unbelievable!! I'd like to find a similar deal for the Med, for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frogsgirl Posted March 10, 2011 Author #11 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Frogsgirl, what does the term "snap their hands off mean?" it means to take the offer very quickly before they take it back from you....one of our odd british terms:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wine-O Posted March 11, 2011 #13 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I looked at this cruise for July 2012, and an AQ cabin was around $9K, which did not include r/t air from the East Coast. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is similar to the deal (2B cabin) as we got for this June's Baltic cruise. Current pricing for this cruise for a balcony cabin is around £2600!!!
