They're not doing 9 nighters. Only Liberty is.

There are two 9 nighters on Symphony in 2025.

 

April 30 and July 4.

Symphony has one 9-nighter departing on July 4, 2025 and one on April 30, 2025,  They usually do one to switch their departure day from a Friday to a Sunday. (July 4th). The one on April 30th gets their departure day to a Friday. 

 

And those four cabins that were $9,700 in 2023 are over $28,000 for July 4, 2025.

We are in a similar spot. We had 4 adjacent balcony staterooms on Oasis last year for a 9 night cruise out of NJ. Total cost about $9,700. Looking at a cruise on Symphony in 2025 -- and its only 7 nights -- same exact four cabins is over $17,500. I didn't dare look at the Symphony 9-nighter in 2025.

Do you have a TA? if you are booking double occupancy rooms, there are deals. I just booked 6 central park balcony  rooms next to each other on Symphony for NEXT August at 2600 each. Still not quite 9700, but much less that 17,500!

We were on the 9-nighter with you this past August. Snagged one of the deck 7 ultraspacious balcony cabins at the very aft for $3800 for 3 people. Booked that the day it opened, so a tremendous deal considering what things were selling for last year.

 

We booked our 2025 cruise as soon as they opened last month...ultraspacious balcony on the 9-nighter for 3: over $12,000. In fact, our $3800 from last summer couldn't get us on the ship, period. Right now, looking at $5600 for a cabin that sleeps 3.

 

We settled on a 7-nighter on Symphony and went all the way down to a Central Park "interior" as we found we spend so much time out of the cabin doing things that we'd rather save on the room. Cost us about $3200 for that room.
