Independence Eastern Carib, Jan 2013

Hello,

Can someone explain to me why an 8 night Eastern Caribbean sailing on the IOS in January would be $799 for an inside cabin? Seems high to me. I have looked on several other sites and for those that do have this cruise it is pretty much all the same price. Any thoughts? TIA

We booked the 8 night Eastern Caribbean balcony in December 2012 instead of January 2013 because of the price difference. My first preference was January to get away from the cold and break up the winter more but Dec worked for us because our anniversary is Nov 30 and the cruise is Dec 8.

 

My guess is because there are more people booking in January instead of early Decemer because the US holidays.

We wanted the December 2012 sailing also, but BIL and SIL cannot go in December, so January was our only choice.

Sounds extremely reasonable to me.

Sounds extremely reasonable to me.

Last March 2011 we booked our adult children in an inside LOS 8 night eastern caribbean and it was $649.00pp....

IOS is a Freedom class ship and from what I have seen the bigger the ship, the bigger the price...

 

She is worth it though, IOS is beautiful. My husband and I spent Christmas on her.

January is still considered high season, while March is starting to get muggy and wetter.

 

I figure nowadays anything that's $100 per day per person is about average. I looked for lower, but that's average.

Indy is the newest ship after Allure and Oasis and the price is still high.

 

My buddies got a JS on NOS, the same 8 day itinerary, $999. Lucky dogs.

That sounds to be about right; I know some 10 day sailings start at about $899. I lucked out when I got my single supplement for under $1,000.

Exactly what I was thinking. Sounds good to me.

That's a great fare. But the other one is still reasonable.

Thank you all! I was not comparing apples to apples apparently.
