kccrzr Posted April 10, 2017 #3101 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Since Southwest started flying to San Juan the prices have come down across all airlines. We can fly to San Juan just as cheap as flying to Lauderdale, Miami, Houston, or Tampa. Exception being Orlando which is extremely cheap to fly into. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk It all depends from where you are flying. We can get to FLL and TPA for much less than SJU, even on SW. We can get nonstops to Florida but not SJU, so that accounts for at least some of the price difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted April 10, 2017 #3102 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Maybe if they eliminated Jewel perhaps an Oasis ship will do well. Not sure how many people (families in particular) would pay Oasis class premiums AND flights to San Juan, which aren't cheap from certain areas. I don't think the terminal at San Juan could handle Oasis type passenger loads. It already does not have enough space for Adventure at times. If Adventure is late starting boarding, they have to stop people entering the terminal because there's not enough room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how many people (families in particular) would pay Oasis class premiums AND flights to San Juan, which aren't cheap from certain areas. Sailing out of San Juan would actually entice me to try Oasis class, since I book based on itinerary. The Florida itineraries aren't interesting enough for me to pay the Oasis class premiums. I do however see where I might be the exception! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not looking good for one of the Vision Class sisters. :( Wait, it's showing in May, too?! That's really not good, as that would mean a redeployment.

Joe12 Posted April 11, 2017 #3114 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Rhapsody's 2018 prices seem very low for a 7 night sailing, both in Europe and the Caribbean, so I think that she is going. Feel bad for the Galveston folks, they should bring Serenade to do the 4/5 day cruises from Galveston and have Adventure take over the 10/11 night itineraries from FLL and Allure doing the 6/8 nighters.

Its a Royal pain in the you know what. If this somehow impacts Rhapsody, I'm going to be really upset. I gave up a pretty great solo rate on Symphony and switched to Rhapsody.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums They likely aren't but we have three booked back to back. They COULD have done amazingly well if RC had been creative with itineraries. 5 night ones and some nine nighters that went to places like Key West, Labadee, San Juan.

They already had those cruises going from Galveston on the FUN ships. They could have charged more for that longer itinerary and people would have paid it. I would have.
