The common factors are supply and demand, not to mention Celebrity is entering new ships in the cruise industry.   Cruise pricing is almost like a game to see if you can get the best price. Those who continually watch their cruise prices get some of the best deals.  Having a TA who catches those drops for you is exceptional.  Otherwise, you can do it yourself and/or pay attention to Cruise Critic.

Are these per person prices you all are quoting ?

It looks like they are quoting pp prices.  I have seen the increases in SV cabins, especially due to the IV's.  So many want a real balcony.  Th more information someone shares makes it better for us to understand.  Details do make the difference.

There are some significant price drops on 2022 cruises, guess they are offsetting these drops with increases for 2024.

Our December 3, 2022 Apex  cruise booked in mid March for $6300 for S2 is now at $8600!!!

In the past X has shown a pattern of opening their schedule at reasonable price only to raise them sharply once they hit a certain booking level.  Prices might later drop as sailing date approaches.  Also, lots of FCC's out there with the expiration clock ticking.  Those concerned about covid and/or Europe want to push replacement booking as far out as possible.  Pricing farther out sailings higher incentivizes customers to use FCC's on closer in ones.

Just to clarify there have been 3 price increases since I booked on February 16 (those shown) for a total of $2,000 on each leg
