Have cruises prices gone down?

[LongHill44]

Overall, do you feel cruises prices have gone down due to covid?

 

 

Are they offering more perks?

My cruise for June 2021 went down by 200 dollars since i booked it

[Barsnikel]

No.  I think prices have gone up, as compared to say a year ago.

[thekidsandi]

My cruise in April 2021 has gone up $50.

[magictam]

I booked my cruise in June for the upcoming November 14 sailing. It still shows openings and you know it’s a limited capacity. I would’ve thought the pricing would’ve gone down but it’s up by over $1,000. I was hoping it would go down. 

[Georgie562]

Up. 

They have to make up for the loss revenue somehow and how other than the cruise fare. 

I also expect to see a lot of cutbacks coming up and an increase in price for like specialty restaurants. 

[Saint Greg]

My Mardi Gras cruise for next summer and my Glory cruise for 2022 have not gone down. But the three Vista cruises I've booked between November and March are the three cheapest 7-day cruises I've booked (only dating back to 2017) and the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th cheapest per day cruises I've booked dating back to 2014.

Prices are going to be in limbo until things kick off again.  Supply and demand drives the price, the cruise lines don't just get to set a price and make people pay it.  Until those cruises actually have a firm start date and the sailings start so you can see the level of true demand it is all speculation.

All the cruises I have booked through Fall next year are priced higher then when I booked.  I watch constantly to take advantage of any price reductions and all mine are all going up, not down.

[MeganGC1983]

Our Oct. 2021 cruise has essentially stayed the same since we booked it in May. 
our Jan. 2021 cruise has been MIA on the website for the past month, so 🤷🏼‍♀️ 
But on our roll call, people are jumping ship on that booking right and left. If it was removed due to capacity reasons... I assume it will reappear soon. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m so over the unknown.

We booked a new cruise not fcc in June and it's now $400 per person more and even the interiors are $300 higher. I was going to add a 2nd room but the price was too high.

[chocolate melting cake]

We have 5 cruises booked through 2022-----all of the prices have gone up since we've booked them.

Some have and some went up. As for perks. depends on the cruise and the cruise line. Most of the time you are paying extra for the perks. Some cruise lines offer you a choice in price. With or with out the perks.

I have only paid attention to the cruises I have booked. I booked all of them prior to this pandemic.  All of them have gone up since I booked them the last time I checked prices earlier this week.  

[2Shoes2Go]

Every one of ours have increased in price. No price drops in months and I check frequently. A few have increased by hundreds.

[MsTabbyKats]

Mine fluctuates by $50/promotion....sometimes up, sometimes down.  So really, the same price.

Sept 2021 NY to Canada

 

Once sailing resumes I expect the prices to go up.

[Joebucks]

Yes and no. Currently, prices are "lower" especially on cruises that are uncertain.

 

Once cruising gets the green light to go, I expect prices to be higher. Ones in the future that already seem "more certain" are already higher.

 

It's all a gamble. Win some. Lose some.

100% agree Its going to be cutback city!

[Eli_6]

Thanks for posting this!  1 of my cruises had gone up, but the other had gone down so I will be calling tomorrow.

[firefly333]

I only booked 3 or 4 weeks ago and it's actually gone up. Which to me is crazy high for covid.

 

I'm really hoping I get a price drop before my cruise. It's only up like $40 not much but some.

Once cruises start, the supply will be pretty much known. Demand, however, will be unknown. Will there be a surge from those who have missed their cruises? Will people be leery at first with all the restrictions? Will new cruisers be discouraged by "floating petri dish"? No one yet knows the answers.

[pe4all]

Since I booked a few weeks ago price has gone up by around $40 pp.

[stellarose]

I believe my MG December cruise for 2021 has stayed the same. 

[Linda the Book Lover]

I am one of those people who checks the prices after I book periodically. I have four cruise booked (three are cancel/rebook) and the prices have not gone down. It always pays to keep checking.

[LPYRCRUISER]

Not to hijack, but I've been wanting to do an Eastern Canada cruise.  HAL does that route from Boston to Montreal and vice versa. I can book for next summer from 1K pp for an inside to 3K pp for balcony.  I then discovered there was a tour from Montreal via bus and train, that does basically the same ports. since we're an hour south of Montreal,   I checked the prices and they start at 5K pp. I've always felt cruises were a value and will be, even if prices increase.
