YIKES! The fares have really risen for a cruise that's 8 weeks out....

[Pier290]

IS THAT TYPICAL? !

 

I thought for sure they'd drop like they were hot! Lol....but seriously....I'm new to all this price watching and cannot believe how ALL the cabin categories have risen so much for a Carribean itinerary that's only 8 weeks away!!

 

WILL THEY DROP ?

At 8 weeks out you are after final payment so doubtful that there will be a big price drop. Could be spring break is keeping the cabins full & prices up.

My March 18 sailing just sold out, but the Silhouette and Reflection April sailings still have availability, and are still reasonably priced. Several of the large online agents are offering full perks as well. The April prices look to be about what we paid a year ago when we booked the March trip. Its after final pay, so they won't get any better, especially with many this season selling out...

Do you really think that the prices will drop if the cruise is pretty much sold out? No way!

[Pier290]

Darn. Trying get Inlaws on board but not for those prices!!!

If the price is going up, it means the ship is fuller 8 weeks out than they thought it would be. If they weren't meeting their occupancy goal, than they would lower the prices.

[Pier290]

Ohhh ok. Thanks for clarifying!

I've been surprised that our April 16th Silhouette cruise is still high. There's lots of inventory, so I'm a bit surprised, even with it being Easter week.

Ours is Easter week also on Equinox. ...

Not if it has sold well.

 

We booked our November cruise last June, it is now up $1080.00 per person for the same 1A pkg we have.

I always book as soon as itineraries are released. If the price goes down, I can get the discount -- but that has been rare. Mostly prices go up and I mentally compute my "savings." If you are flexible, right after final payment date is when slow-selling cruises will have a big price cut. So if this one is going up at that time, not much hope.

[foodsvcmgr]

In the last two years have seen a big shift to lowest fares being right after release as Jazz states vs last minute.

There is probably something out there at a distress price for late booking, just not necessarily your first choice of ship or cruise line.

We booked a late March cruise a few weeks ago. The killer was the airfare to Florida.

If the in-laws don't care one way or another, keep checking several times a day. The cruisecos do play games with fares.

We're on this sailing. There does seem to be a lot of rooms still available.
