Don’t Celebrity Want 1 To A Cabin

[GSPG]

We’ve been on two Celebrity cruises in the past and loved them.

 

But I’m horrified the price quoted for our 26 year old son who needs a cabin of his own?

So sorry,but the truth is, no. X expects at least double occupancy.

Cruise lines sell per-cabin, not per-person. Thus, a single pays as much as two people for a cabin. The only savings are per-person charges like gratuities, port fees, and taxes.

2 passengers generate more on onboard revenue which is where profit comes from.

Love those spellcheckers...

I booked a solo infinite Veranda on the Edge next May, and it was cheaper than a double occupancy interior. Look for solo cabins, but they do go fast.

Other cruise lines do the same, at least Edge class has nice solo rooms. The ones on NCL seem to be a glorified interior room.

 

I know booking a room that has double occupancy I will be paying more so have to look for deals - right now my cruise for next year is a sunset veranda so right now do not have wifi or drinks package because it added so much more to the price

Ok, so what kind of price are you talking about here that is horrifying and for what type of stateroom, how many nights, and  cruise location?

[lola2013]

I have three SVs booked for upcoming cruises.  With the 75% off second passenger offer that has been ongoing, it is much more affordable. I book cruise only…don’t need drinks or WiFi.  Earning double captains club point is a great perk also!

Sometimes Royal has reasonable pricing for single cabins in the off season.

Just looking generally, and yes he is just about the same price as the two of us.

Horrified? Strong word. Hypothetical and silly maybe but if Celebrity priced per person they could have all the cabins with one person in meaning half the income which doesn’t make much business sense.

Or perhaps we have been lucky in the past, and having done ‘only’ five cruises.

 

That’s true, but for a family with an ‘older child’ to big to share with now makes it much more expensive.

You do you, but I have sailed with my adult son in a cabin with my husband and I and we managed.  Not as comfortable as when he was a kid, but it worked.  Have you considered an inside cabin across the hall just for sleeping and bathing, and he could hang out in your cabin?  Or perhaps a Sky Suite (although talk about sky high prices, those are definitely up there!).

It seemed to work okay the first and second time we sailed, and were in a room together.

 

Since then we have been in singles which were owing to good deals at the time, and we have discussed but wouldn’t go back now.

Why not have your 26 y/o invite a friend and share the cost?

Good idea thanks, but there’s no one who would want to go.

They look more like tiny padded cells to me. The interior cabins that aren't the studios appear to be a bit bigger.

Does P&O give you a break for single cruises ?

They remind me of super space aged sleeping pods...I mean, how I'd imagine a super space-aged sleeping pod to look, that is..anyway, they are not for me...

I agree with the not for me. The Edge class solo IVs I love.

Yes!  I would totally book one of those if I was solo.  They have balconies, right?

The Infinite Veranda, yes.

Okay, thoughts have moved on in the last hour.

 

How do Concierge rooms stack up for room for 3 adults compared to ‘normal’ veranda rooms.

Still have to run this past my son yet!

The 3 of us had a Sunset Veranda room on Eclipse 6 years ago. From memory we got by, but he is older and had cabins of his own since then and would be hard to go back to a three?

No, infinite verandahs do not have balconies.  They have windows that open.
